Dear Madam/Sir,
 
 
European Union is a major export destination for India and to continue exports to EU it is important to be aware about various parameters causing rejection of our products at EU borders.
 
The EU has created Rapid Alert Systems for Food and Feed (RASFF) and for Non-Food Consumer Products (RAPEX) to ensure the flow of information between its members (EU Member State national food safety authorities, Commission, EFSA, ESA, Norway, Liechtenstein, Iceland and Switzerland) to enable swift reaction when risks to public health and safety of consumersare detected in the food chain or non-food consumer products and provides a round-the-clock service to ensure that urgent notifications are sent, received and responded to collectively and efficiently.
 
In order to keep the Indian exporters informed of the rejections faced by Indian products in the EU and to take preventive actions FIEO is forwarding the RASFF and RAPEX alerts on a weekly basis.
