Consultation on responsibility and cost sharing for animal health and welfare: next steps - your views matter
This consultation aimed to engage with all those with an interest in developing policy on Responsibility and Cost Sharing (RCS) for animal health. It built on our December 2006 consultation on the principles of RCS. Part 1 of the consultation set out a range of options for establishing a new framework. Part 2 contained specific proposals on sharing responsibilities and costs for seven Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) measures of direct relevance to the cattle and sheep industries, the animal by-products industry, abattoirs, and laboratories interested in TSE and genotype testing.
The consultation closed on 15th April 2008.
