The certificates cover several categories, including live sheep, goats, and cattle, as well as meat and organs from sheep and goats, poultry meat, and fish and fish products. During the mission, the Libyan delegation conducted inspections in Constanța, Vâlcea, and Olt counties, including a visit to the Avicarvil – La Provincia poultry slaughterhouse in Vâlcea to assess biosecurity and food safety standards.
