Preparation
for a Defra consultation on potential charges for services that AHVLA provide
Defra has
invited industry views on a possible charging scheme for all sites that require
inspection under the Animal By-Products regulations. There will be a formal
consultation on this later in the year, however the Organics Recycling Group is
keen to garner industryâÂÂs feedback prior to finalisation of the consultation
documents. Currently you will be aware that site inspections by Animal Health
vets and AHVLA approvals are free of charge. However, in line with other
government departments and the drive to reduce their costs, this proposal asks
industry three questions and provides some indicative costs which may be
applicable in the future.
More information can be found HERE, including Q&A and likely charges.
The ORG will
soon meet with Animal Health to discuss the issues and would value your views
on this matter so that we can pass on your comments. Please send your comments
to Jeremy@r-e-a.net.
You can also submit your comments directly to Animal Health at: abp.team@defra.gsi.gov.uk
Although there
is a date of 22nd May shown within the letter your comments will be
considered as this consultation is due to last over the summer and autumn of
2013.
Should you
have any comments, please email Jeremy at your earliest convenience.
