Carcase classification and price reporting in respect of beef and pigs

 EU rules require abattoirs to dress, identify, categorise, classify and weigh carcases according to common standards where regulated animals are presented for slaughter. Following a review, the European Commission decided to make these requirements more transparent and reduce administrative and regulatory burdens. As a result, new rules have been set in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 2017/1182 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 2017/1184. It is now necessary to reflect these new rules in domestic legislation.
