Ukraine DUDC Newsletter November/December 2018
In the newsletter: L. hardjo sample analyses; Coming activities; Industry news; Useful links from Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine
Christmas and New Year greetings
The year 2018 went quickly. We have done a lot of activities and in general we are satisfied. We have had audit on the project and the result was positive. Based on output the Dutch ministry together with Dutch Embassy in Kiev have asked DUDC to give some more information about to be done activities before the project will be finalised. Official date of ending is 1 April.
As we have discussed several times, now it has to become clear, can an independent coordination centre stay active. On 11 January we will have meeting with Dutch companies and during Agro Animal Show in February nest, we will discuss this with Ukrainian partners and Dutch companies present.
Internationally it is rather unstable. As example the Brexit. What should England vote again? Important will be to stay quiet but take all opportunities to have open discussion what will be the best for our future.
So, lets enjoy the coming days of celebration and reflection. I wish you all a prospective 2019, with good health for you and your relatives.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
