Significant other slaughtering in some MSs
Clarification
Need for monthly data on other slaughtering
Gentlemen’s agreement
For investigations
Agreement#
Not enough material for a complete assessment
Extension
Further work in Eurostat and some MSs
Report to CPSA
April 2014

Changes
ESS agreements
Regulation (EC) No 223/2009

Implementation
Dissemination
ESTAT did not use the additional measure
Some MSs disseminate the monthly results
Other slaughtering
Legal requirements weaker
Specificity by species
Specificity by MS
Diversity of phenomena

7. WP on Animal Production Statistics Monthly other slaughtering
Results (data)
Data collection
Compliance to commitment
With exceptions on punctuality
Data flows regularly implemented
Quality
Need for knowledge
Investigations in several Member States
Better understanding
Highlight economic weight
Distinction with hygiene policy
Impact on annual data
Data sources
Farm production survey
Involvement of veterinary services

8. WP on Animal Production Statistics Monthly other slaughtering
Results (types)
The initial assumptions
Consumption behaviour
Own-consumption
Ritual
Traditional and back to traditional
Adult bovine animals not concerned
Slightly decreasing
Rather independent from hygiene issues
Significant but predictable
May impact the market at the margin (picks or smooth)

9. WP on Animal Production Statistics Monthly other slaughtering
Results (types)
The initial assumptions
The under-efficient slaughter control
Under-efficient implementation
Tolerance in hygiene implementation
Improvement together with the whole sector
Refers to rural development issues
Under-efficient information system component
Intermediate with slaughtering in slaughterhouses
Medium-long term issues
Efficiency of information system improves fast (e.g. RO)
Development related to infrastructure is slower
Impact on the market is important

10. WP on Animal Production Statistics Monthly other slaughtering
Results (types)
The initial assumptions
The under-efficient slaughter control
The inefficient hygiene rules
Hygiene package to be implemented
Not implemented or not yet actually applied
Especially in non-Member States
Relevance of distinguishing other slaughtering?
Monthly statistics too detailed for the phenomena
A general statement
Clearly related to development
Hygiene should be a priority
Need for statistics in the accession discussion
Need for acquis communautaire covering better other slaughtering
WP on Animal Production Statistics Monthly other slaughtering

11. WP on Animal Production Statistics Monthly other slaughtering
Conclusion
Extension of the agreement?
No need for further investigations
Need for monthly data
Where significant
Contribution to production
Need to regularly investigate where predictable
Some MSs and CCs
Need in the longer term
Acquis communautaire, quarterly data
Legal text would be adapted
Need for additional measures
CPSA to decide whether and how

Questions
Approval of the report?
The statements
The needs
The constraints
The measures
The report
CPSA to decide
Whether the need and measures are relevant
How they should be eventually implemented
