Title Support for the Modernisation of the Mongolian Standardisation systemEuropeAid/134305/C/SER/MN SCVL and National Reference Laboratory of GASI are state laboratories involved in food, animal feed and veterinary drug residues testing. It seems that in some of the fields (e.g. testing for veterinary drug residues, chemical contaminants) are carried out by both laboratories. The analytical work of the SCVL until recently was more or less exclusively for the meat industry (export). Peter Steinbüchel – Traceab._1 Important actors

Title Support for the Modernisation of the Mongolian Standardisation systemEuropeAid/134305/C/SER/MN Traceability The Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) defines Traceability as “the ability to follow the movement of a food through specified stage(s) of production, processing and distribution”. Peter Steinbüchel – Traceab._1 Traceability

Title Support for the Modernisation of the Mongolian Standardisation systemEuropeAid/134305/C/SER/MN Livestock identification and meat traceability systems were introduced in countries as a reaction to the BSE problem. Peter Steinbüchel – Traceab._1 Traceability

Title Support for the Modernisation of the Mongolian Standardisation systemEuropeAid/134305/C/SER/MN A good traceability system provides accurate information on the origin, sex, age, breed, movements and records veterinarian treatments an animal received. (FAO) Peter Steinbüchel – Traceab._1 Traceability

Title Support for the Modernisation of the Mongolian Standardisation systemEuropeAid/134305/C/SER/MN traceability Under EU law, “traceability” means the ability to track any food, feed, food- producing animal or substance that will be used for consumption, through all stages of production, processing and distribution.

Title Support for the Modernisation of the Mongolian Standardisation systemEuropeAid/134305/C/SER/MN feed The EU‘s General Food Law makes traceability compulsory to all food and feed businesses.

Title Support for the Modernisation of the Mongolian Standardisation systemEuropeAid/134305/C/SER/MN export markets traceability a marketing tool Reliable traceability schemes are often a precondition for meat producing countries to enter export markets.
