Vietnam Sanitary and Phytosanitary Notification Authority and Enquiry Point

The two draft Regulations lay down official controls in products of  animal  origin  intended  for  human  consumption.  They  replace  the  current  rules  of Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 which will be repealed. The controls mainly concern fresh meat (meat inspection), bivalve molluscs, fishery products, milk and dairy products.
Draft  Delegated  Regulation  focuses  on  who  should  carry  out  the  meat  inspection  and provides  derogations  to  the  basic  requirements  laid  down  in  Article  18  of  Regulation (EU) 2017/625 on official controls.
Draft Implementing Regulation lays down practical arrangements (what and how) for the official controls in the products of animal origin.
These  draft  Regulations  intend  to  provide  continuity  of  the  current  rules  of  Regulation (EC)  No  854/2004  introducing  adaptation  to  better  define  to  adapt  to  currently  most relevant  hazards,  using  a  risk-based  approach  based  on  scientific  opinions  of  the European Food Safety Authority. 

The two texts are notified together because they are linked to each other. One focuses on  who  is  responsible  for  the  official  controls  and  the  other  on  the  specific  tasks  to  be carried out.
