Summary

The bill is due to the need to reduce the administrative burden on food handlers, to use the opportunity to establish more flexible requirements for company buildings and premises, and to enable the marketing of animal food on the basis of the reporting obligation. The purpose of the changes related to the activity permit obligation is to reduce the administrative burden on handlers by waiving the domestic permit obligation in areas where it is sufficient according to the directly applicable hygiene regulations of the European Union from submitting an economic activity report. Getting started with food handling becomes easier, but all food safety requirements remain in effect. Food placed on the market must be safe for human health. The handler is responsible for the food handled and the correctness of the handling and is obliged to use all means to ensure this. The requirements for premises, employees and also about documents, including there must be a self-check plan, etc.
