The Commission adopted at the meeting of the EU Standing Committee on Food Chain and Animal Health (SCOFCAH) on 17-18 July, five Commission regulations that amend certain aspects of the EU food hygiene regulations and their implementing and transitional measures. A report of the meeting can be accessed from the link below.
The new Commission regulations are now subject to consultation with the European Parliament. This process is likely to be completed and the measures published in the Official Journal in November 2006. They will enter into force on the seventh day following publication and apply from that same date. A brief description of the measures is included below.
The Commission regulations will apply directly and, as such, need no further transcription into national legislation. It will, however, be necessary to provide for them being enforced as part of the other EU food hygiene regulations. This will be achieved by amending within the national legislation the definitions of various community regulations to include appropriate references to these latest measures. A draft of amending regulations is attached below.
In order to provide for a full period of public consultation, we are consulting now on the basis of the latest drafts of the Commission regulations. The final titles and references will be adjusted once the texts have been published in the Official Journal.
