Rulebooks on Control of Residues of Pharmacologically Active Substances Presented
In cooperation with the Veterinary Directorate, the PLAC IV project presented a series of rulebooks concerning the control of residues of pharmacologically active substances authorized in veterinary medicinal products or used as feed additives or residues of prohibited or unauthorized pharmacologically active substances.
Project expert Zanda Matuzale introduced Veterinary Directorate staff to the new Draft Rulebook on Monitoring the Use of Pharmacologically Active Substances Authorised as Veterinary Medicinal Products or Feed Additives for Animals and of Prohibited or Unauthorised Pharmacologically Active Substances and Their Residues. In the workshop segment devoted to sampling instructions for the national risk-based residue-monitoring programme and to the conduct of official controls on the use of pharmacologically active substances, expert Jelena Vračar-Filipović addressed the participants.
The EU acquis in the field of food safety, veterinary and phytosanitary policy reflects an integrated “farm-to-fork” approach aimed at ensuring a high level of food safety, animal health and welfare, and plant health within the European Union. This approach also requires appropriate monitoring while simultaneously safeguarding the efficient functioning of the internal market.
The acquis under this chapter comprises a very large number of regulations, directives and decisions that cover: food safety; veterinary policy; placing food, feed and animal by-products on the market; feed safety; phytosanitary policy; and genetically modified organisms. Part of the legal support for this chapter was provided through the workshop held in cooperation with the Veterinary Directorate, because, to align fully with EU standards in this area, Serbia must transpose the relevant EU legislation and ensure its complete implementation.
