Consultation on administrative burden, administrative costs and compliance costs related to current Animal Health legislation and the new possible elements of the Animal Health Law
In the framework of the consultation process for the creation of the new Animal Health Law two questionnaires have been developed:
- one addressed to the competent authorities in the Member States in charge of implementing animal health rules and
- a second one addressed to business operators active in the animal production/trade field.
The purpose of these two questionnaires is to collect readily available data on administrative costs (cost linked to information obligations) for the competent authorities and the operators and compliance costs incurred by operators when implementing EU animal health legislation.
In order to be able to contribute to this process you can download the questionnaires here:
