The European Union Delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS has refuted reports that the EU has banned the import of agricultural products from Nigeria.
It however noted that the import suspension measure, which has been misconstrued, affected only dried beans. The Head of Trade and Economic Section of the EU delegation to Nigeria, Mr. Filipino Amato, made this clarification in an email to THISDAY on Tuesday, wherein he added that some agricultural products had been rejected at the EU borders due to high level of pesticides which is dangerous for human health.
