MOSCOW. June 11 (Interfax) - Authorities of Ukraine and Canada have agreed on veterinary certificates, which will allow Ukrainian producers of egg products to begin exporting their products to the Canadian market, Ukrainian media reported, citing the Ukrainian State Service for Food Safety and Consumer Protection's press service.

"The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry is working jointly with the Ukrainian State Service for Food Safety and Consumer Protection to further open up new opportunities for Ukrainian products globally. We [...] are constantly negotiating with foreign partners in this regard," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba was quoted as saying in the statement.
