Bulgaria: Turkey ships tomatoes exceeding European formetanate MRLs
This is three times the amount allowed for this active ingredient in tomatoes within the European Union; as such, its destruction, in a place approved for this purpose, was commissioned.
The last alert on Turkish tomatoes occurred in March 2011, when several batches of Turkish tomato destined to Greece to be re-exported to the European Union. The active substance detected then was procymidone.
To date, borders have not been closed to Turkish suppliers, whose main export destination is Russia.
