MCA urges authorities in China reconsider their RFID conditions for Malaysian bird’s nest exports

MCA HQ, 31 July – The MCA Presidential Council urges Chinese authorities to re-examine export guidelines on birds nests from Malaysia. This was delivered by party President Datuk Seri Dr Chua Loi Sek who during a press conference held after the MCA Presidential Council had stressed that the health certificate and the veterinary health certificate qualifications for exports are "more than sufficient".

Recently, Beijing introduced new medical and health requirements that limit nitrate content in bird's nests to no more than 30ppm, which has created financial difficulties for many birds nest farmers and exporters highly dependent on the sale of the good.

Government officials are currently negotiating the ban and have voiced plans about going to China to talk to Chinese officials about the current restrictions. According to MCA Deputy President cum Minister of Health Dato' Seri Liow Tiong Lai, the Ministry of Health felt that what is most important is for the authorities in China is to look into the traceability and origin of the bird's nest so that its contents can be properly determined.

Soi Lek also said that "the MCA Presidential Council is in agreement with Tiong Lai that health certificate and veterinary health certificate should be more than sufficient."

The MCA Presidential Council also advises Beijing to reconsider the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) certificate as a condition to resume export of bird nests. Correcting a public misconception about the new guidelines on bird's nests exports, Soi Lek asserted, "Initially, there was some confusion that it [the guidelines] came from Malaysia. But the protocol is from China. So we urge authority in China to relook at this."
