Of paramount importance is the issue of CE mark for Indian exporters to EU, FICCI study pointed out. CE marking is the mandatory conformity mark to ensure compliance with various health and safety standards in EU.
However, FICCI said that it is difficult to comply with CE mark because not only it involves more cost but also time, as not enough testing bodies are there in India to certify the product as CE Mark compliant.
FICCI further said that a number of certificates of compliance are required for Indian exporters of fruits to EU. A single exporter may have to produce at least 5 certificates of compliance like EC Regulation for MRLs (Maximum Residue Limit) for Pesticides; British Retailer Consortium (BRC) Certification; HACCP Certification; Kosher Certification; ISO 9001 Certification, etc for exporting to EU.
