Article 2 Derogations from the compulsory classification of carcasses
United Kingdom
F1Nothing in this Regulation prevents the appropriate authorities from deciding that the requirements on classification of carcasses of bovine animals and of pigs, laid down in points A.V and B.II of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, respectively, shall not be compulsory for slaughterhouses which slaughter:
less than 150 bovine animals aged eight months or more per week as an annual average;
less than 500 pigs per week as an annual average.
F2Nothing in this Regulation prevents the appropriate authorities from determining a lower limit, in particular to ensure the representativeness of price recording as referred to in Article 8(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1184.
F3Nothing in this Regulation prevents the appropriate authorities from deciding that the requirements on classification of carcasses of bovine animals and pigs shall not be compulsory:
for carcasses of bovines and pigs owned by the slaughterhouse if no commercial transaction in purchasing these animals takes place;
for carcasses of pigs of clearly defined local breeds or with particular modes of marketing if their anatomical body composition makes the homogeneous and standardised classification of carcasses impossible.
F4Nothing in this Regulation prevents the appropriate authorities that apply classification of sheep carcasses pursuant to the second paragraph of Article 10 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 F5from deciding, based on objective and non-discriminatory criteria, that the requirements on classification of sheep carcasses shall not be compulsory for certain slaughterhouses.
