European and Ukrainian Dairy Industries sign MoU

“Today, on Europe Day, we kick off the next chapter of our cooperation between the European and the Ukrainian dairy industry. And we are here today together to show our confidence in Europe, in Ukraine and to showcase the strength of dairy for Europe and for Ukraine”, stated EDA President Giuseppe Ambrosi at the ceremony of signing our Memorandum of Understanding between EDA and SMPU, our Ukrainian partner organisation. SMPU Director General Arsen Didur and EDA’s Alexander Anton signed the framework for our future cooperation in Kyiv, in the presence of Taras Vysotskyi, Ukraine’s First Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food.

“The set-up of the ‘EU Integration Committee’ that includes the full Ukrainian dairy sector, is a bold statement from our partners and we will support the work of the chair, Andriy Tabalov (CEO, Voloshkove Dairy) and Secretary General Elisabeth Svyatkivska to achieve reciprocal free trade on the basis of a long term integration of Ukraine dairy in our EU Single Market and a strong protection of mutual investments,” congratulated Giuseppe Ambrosi.
