". – Slaughterhouses in Greece are approved by the competent authorities under Council Directive 64/433 on health conditions for the production and marketing of fresh meat as amended by Directive 95/23. 47 slaughterhouses are recorded as being approved for placing meat on the Community market. The meat from the remaining operational slaughterhouses that is judged fit for human consumption can be marketed on the national territory.
The last inspection mission on fresh meat carried out in Greece by the Commission's Food and Veterinary Office was in September 2000 in relation to porcine meat. This mission identified serious wide-ranging deficiencies in the operation of official controls and production standards in this sector. As the honourable Member is aware from the reply to his earlier question at the November session, there have been follow-up contacts with the Greek authorities during 2001 in an attempt to resolve the problems found. To date the action taken has not been satisfactory and the Commission remains very concerned about the situation. Further high level meetings with the Greek authorities are planned for early 2002 in an attempt to resolve the remaining shortcomings in food safety and veterinary control standards.
With regard to waste water treatment, Council Directive 91/271 concerning urban waste water treatment foresees rules for slaughterhouses. Waste water above a particular volume must meet conditions established in prior regulations and or specific authorisations by the competent authority since 31 December 2000. Where slaughterhouses discharge directly into the public sewer, the general rules of the directive are valid. Detailed information on the situation of industrial discharges in Greece is under assessment."@en1
