The latest update provides further information on the revisions being made to the national legislation applying the feed and food elements of EU Regulation 882/2004. It also provides more details of work being taken forward to develop the UK multi-annual national control plan. In addition, it provides an update on developments at EU level on establishing detailed implementing measures for imported feed and food of non-animal origin (non-POAO).
