Question 37407 — breeding

Summary

Mrs. Frédérique Tuffnell draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the operation of slaughterhouses of animals for slaughter. In September 2020, the “Agricultural transition, food and forestry” component of the France recovery plan was presented, endowed with 1.2 billion euros, to meet the achievement of four priority objectives including the modernization of slaughterhouses and livestock farms, for which 250 million euros are dedicated. Also, the “EGalim” law made it possible to ratify a certain number of advances such as the extension of the offense of animal abuse to slaughterhouses and transporters, the doubling of the penalties incurred, the experimentation with video surveillance, or even the establishment of “animal protection” referents within slaughterhouses. On the other hand, the synthetic evaluation provided by “Alim’confiance”, which allows you to consult the results official controls carried out in terms of food safety, would be insufficient to meet this request, because it does not make it possible to know the real situation of slaughterhouses in terms of health and animal protection. Breeders and consumers regularly demand more transparency on the operation of slaughterhouses. It therefore appears useful to publish veterinary inspection reports annual reports from all meat slaughterhouses to provide breeders and consumers with the information they require. She also thanks him for kindly informing her whether the Government intends to make these veterinary inspection reports public and, if so, whether these reports will be available for consultation before the end of the first half of 2021. She also asks him whether there are plans to integrate the deployment of mobile slaughterhouses into the modernization plan, a measure which could make it possible to limit the distance of transport of livestock to the slaughterhouse and, more generally, to know the modalities of articulation of the slaughterhouse modernization plan with the measures of the so-called “EGalim” law.
