Frequently Asked Questions on Animal Health, Welfare & Phytosanitary Controls Regulations

What does the Official Controls Regulation (EU) 2017/625 govern?

Regulation (EU) 2017/625 harmonises official checks across the agri-food chain, covering food and feed safety, animal welfare, plant health, and Border Control Posts (BCPs) using the integrated TRACES system.

What animal welfare reforms is the EU considering?

Following the 'End the Cage Age' European Citizens' Initiative (1.4 million signatures), the Commission committed to proposals phasing out caged farming (battery cages, farrowing crates, individual calf pens) by 2027. The animal welfare legislative revision also targets transport duration and condition limits, method-of-slaughter improvements, and a mandatory EU-level animal welfare labelling scheme.

What is the plant passport system under the EU Plant Health Regulation?

Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 requires plant passports — standardised labels attesting phytosanitary compliance — for the movement of regulated plants, plant products, and other objects within the EU. Professional operators must be registered, implement traceability systems, conduct regular surveys for quarantine pests (such as Xylella fastidiosa, Agrilus planipennis), and notify authorities of any pest interceptions.
