What they argued
UECBV sees the upcoming legislative proposal on substantiating green claims as the basement for allowing businesses to go to carbon neutrality. It is of the utmost importance to go towards scientifically based, fair and “harmonised claims” so that efforts are comparable, looking for the same goals and no one is left behind but creating incentive to move forward.
The Commission proposals aim to strengthen the position of farmers in the EU and restore trust between actors in the agri-food supply chain. These are relevant to the whole supply chain, and the European livestock and meat traders (UECBV) are the first partner to farmers and represent the whole middle of the chain.
UECBV welcomes the European Commissions initiative on animal by-products. The European Livestock and Meat Trades Union (UECBV) welcomes the European Commissions initiative to include certain Animal By-Products (ABPs) as component materials in EU fertilising products, through the amendment of Annex II and Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2019/1009, CMC 10, and thanks the Commission for the opportunity to be consulted and…
UECBV welcomes and supports the Commissions efforts to adapt the ante- and post-mortem inspections to the logistical challenges faced by slaughterhouses. At the same time, UECBV calls for a further extension of these measures while ensuring the economic and operational sustainability of the meat industry sector through transparency, coordination and proportionate costs for operators.
UECBV supports the Commissions efforts to facilitate inspections through the integration of data generated by computer-based technologies. UECBV also encourages further progress in this area, for example by extending the use of computer-based technologies to a broader range of applications, such as animal welfare controls, while ensuring the economic and practical sustainability of the meat industry.
