Animal health is a concern for all European citizens. This concern stems from the public health, food safety and food security aspects, which are related to animal health but also from the economic costs that animal disease outbreaks can trigger and the animal welfare considerations, including the implications of disease control measures on animal welfare. At the same time, this proposal reflects the priorities of Smart Regulation by aiming to simplify the existing legal framework while reflecting stakeholders' expectations in reducing administrative burdens. And finally, it reflects Commission priorities such as the smart growth objective of the Europe 2020 strategy by helping the sector to become more resilient due to active prevention measures and more flexible risk management. The proposal is part of a package of four reviews relating to animal health, health of plants, quality of plant reproductive material and official controls of plants, animals, food and feed. |
