Govt objects to Singapore's restrictions on meat, eggs import

Singapore claimed that meat, eggs, and their products must be imported from approved sources in accredited countries or regions that meet the Singapore Food Agency's (SFA) standards

India at the World Trade Organization (WTO) has questioned the restrictions that Singapore has imposed on the import of certain food items, such as meat and eggs, from the country for lack of mutual recognition agreements (MRAs) between the two.
 

“India requests Singapore to explain the reasons for the non-existence of MRA with India’s regulatory authorities despite a comprehensive free-trade agreement (FTA), which is nearly two decades old,” it asked Singapore during a trade policy review over the city-state not allowing import of certain food items.
