For this, the vice president of the Organization, Rodolfo Acerbi , and the general coordinator of International Relations, Miguel Donatelli, visited May 5 the official residence of the Mexican ambassador in Argentina, Lilia Eugenia Rossbach Suárez, who was accompanied by the person in charge of Affairs Economics, Gonzalo Cervera MartÃnez and with whom, in a cordial framework, they discussed these and other issues on the agenda of mutual interest.
Acerbi told the Mexican ambassador details of his visit to the North American country, as part of an Argentine delegation that participated in a plenary meeting where he delivered the certificates for the reestablishment of exports of poultry products and by-products to that destination and the export of Argentine bovine genetics (semen and embryos), horse meat and sweet citrus (such as tangerines) was discussed .
“We had an excellent meeting with the Mexican ambassador to whom we informed about our participation in a visit to her country. In addition, we harmonize priority issues on the bilateral agenda. We told him of our interest in achieving the opening of Mexico for bovine genetics and sweet citrus from Argentina, and we leave with his commitment to support the efforts," explained the vice president of Senasa.
Likewise, there was talk about an upcoming visit by Mexican supermarkets and authorities from that country with a view to visiting refrigerating establishments and taking an interest in the production of bovine meat, after the recent start of exports from Argentina to Mexico.
It should be remembered that the Mexican Senasica authorized 22 processing plants to export bovine meat products from Argentina.
On the other hand, and within the framework of the bilateral commercial health agenda, starting Monday, May 8, a delegation from the Mexican health service will visit dairy establishments in the provinces of Córdoba and Santa Fe with a view to revalidating authorizations and adding new ones to the list of those who export these products from Argentina. ■
