Spain: Official Border Controls Reorganization Enters into Force
Effective October 1, 2024, authority for Spanish import controls of agricultural products for human consumption has been transferred from the Ministry of Health to the authority of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPA). Official border controls are now reorganized into a common integrated system for the import of food and related products. The new streamlined system intends to guarantee unity of action and simplify administrative procedures for imports by merging all plant and animal health inspectors under one authority.
