Korea re-opens beef market to Ireland & France – EC

Irish beef producers will once again be able to export beef to the Republic of Korea following the removal of local restrictions on EU beef. In 2001, the Korean market was closed to beef imports from 15 EU Member States due to outbreaks of BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy).

Korea re-opened its market to EU beef from Denmark and the Netherlands in 2019. And now that’s being extended to France and Ireland. The Republic of Korea is one of the biggest import markets for beef in the world.  Speaking today through an interpreter, European Commission spokesman Olof Gill announced news of the trade barriers being lifted.
