INDUSTRY NEWS
-
We regret to advise readers that
the twin daughters of Boston Hide executive Anthony Andreottola accidently

Veronica and Angelina Andreottola were granddaughters of Boston Hide & Fun
founder Gerry Andreottola. Services are pending.
- The USHSLA told members today that they have
receivednotice from USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) regardingchangesbeing implemented to certificates used to
export to the European Union.As you may know, APHIS has had a long-time
policy of, prior to endorsement, transferring all certificates, other than the
VS Form 16-4, to the letterhead of the APHIS office that actually endorses the
certificate. This has created some complications for the EU certificates,
which are generally formatted in such a way that it isvery difficult
tomake them "fit" to the endorsingoffice letterhead
There is no EU requirement for certificates to be placed on endorsing office
letterhead. As these certificates all contain a specific spot for the
identity of the endorsing office to be noted, and as APHIS has now launched the
special VS Paper for the certificates, APHIS has issued guidance to their
endorsing offices to discontinue placing these EU certificates onto their
office letterhead prior to endorsement.
Rather, the certificates will be printed by the endorsing office onto the
special VS Paper prior to endorsement.
APHIS is confident that this change will result in facilitation of production
and endorsement of crisper, more professional appearing certificates and
facilitate the efforts which are likely to be necessary as the EU transitions
to new certificates for a variety of commodities over the coming year.

questions or concerns.
MARKET OBSERVATIONS
Today’s trend: Struggling
for steady
-
Offer lists seemed more extensive
than even last week, and certainly more in late June. Producers were not
bashful at their asking levels however.
-
Any bulls are conspicuous by their
absence!
