Revised UK National Control Plan published

Wednesday 15 August 2007

The Agency and the four UK Agriculture/Rural Affairs Departments have recently reviewed the UK's National Control Plan for the period January 2007 to March 2011. A revised version is published today.

The Plan's purpose, a requirement of European Union Regulation 882/2004 on official controls, is to ensure that effective control systems are in place for monitoring and enforcing feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules, and plant health law.

Regulation 882/2004 requires that plans be kept under review and revised regularly. The first review of the UK Plan has thus been completed. No significant changes have been made as a result. However, revisions reflect organisational and legislative changes.
