Abstract

The survey found that there are differences in the case studies with respect to the extent that different products are affected by the EU's SPS measures. There are products (such as mangoes, grapes and eggplants) in which Indian exporters have faced rejections or bans in the EU and other markets in the past for SPS issues such as fruit flies or thrips infestation. These issues have now been resolved by implementing measures (such as hot water treatment for the mangoes being exported to the EU or gamma irradiation treatment for the mangoes being exported to the US) that are acceptable to the importing countries. For some products, there are issues with the maximum residue limits (MRLs) permissible for certain chemicals and pesticides as is required by the EU, which can act as SPS barriers for Indian exporters and farmers. For some products such as green peas, green beans and mushrooms, there are hardly any SPS related alerts raised by the EU, but export potential is low.
