Revised UK National Control Plan published

Tuesday 12 February 2008

The Agency and the four Agriculture/Rural Affairs Departments in the UK have recently reviewed the UK's National Control Plan, and a revised version has been published. The purpose of the plan 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.

The plan, which is a requirement of EU Regulation 882/2004 on official controls, covers the period January 2007 to March 2011

Regulation 882/2004 requires that plans be kept under review and revised regularly and it has been agreed to do this every six months. The second review of the UK Plan has recently been completed. No substantive amendments have been made as a result but the Plan has been updated to reflect organisational and legislative changes etc.
