Question 34128 — breeding

Summary

The European derogation allowing non-approved slaughter establishments (EANAs) to process their products without health approval will end on December 31, 2020. The Government is aware of the consequences that this development could have on the activity of EANAs, many of which process their products. The French authorities recently contacted the European Commission so that this subject could be quickly discussed with the other Member States, while proposing the perpetuation of the current derogation system. To support this proposal, the Minister of Agriculture and Food has mobilized professional representatives of these sectors and several projects are already underway with short deadlines. A map of the establishments concerned was carried out using a questionnaire sent to all EANA operators, and a guide to good hygiene practices from slaughter to processing was initiated by professionals in coordination with the poultry technical institute (ITAV). This important subject was also raised at its request during the Council of Agriculture Ministers of the European Union in October 2020 and several Member States provided their support for the French position. European parliamentarians must be made aware of This question, the mobilization of the European Parliament would be an asset to obtain this exemption. These establishments contribute to the gastronomic richness of the French regions and the territorial anchoring of food. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food will remain attentive to ensuring that their activities can continue.
