Invitation to exporters

- Published: 24 March, 2006

EXPORTERS keen to get beef back into the French market are being invited to a business convention in Paris arranged by the English Beef and Lamb Executive (EBLEX).

With the lifting of the 10-year-old restrictions on British beef exports, EBLEX is standing by to help boost trade by getting exporters and importers together at a proposed convention in June. The aim of the event is to ensure exporters know exactly what their potential customers need and set up new contacts between buyers and sellers. There will also be a series of presentations which will provide insights into French market conditions and cutting specifications for the French market. There will also be time for questions and answers from delegates.

Remi Fourrier, EBLEX Manager for France, said: "There is firm evidence that there will be a market for British beef in France and we want to ensure our exporters get the best possible information to allow them to restart trading as soon as possible."

English exporters wanting further information should contact Karen Gooch at kareng@eblex.org.uk or call 01480 482983.
