03/06/24 (Agence Europe) – “There is no need to extend the Union scale for carcass classification to goats, due to the very limited nature of this meat production in many Member States, and the specific characteristics of carcasses and meat cuts”, according to a European Commission report on the sales designations and carcass classification in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector, published on Monday 3 June. Concerning sales designation, no systematic difficulties, or problems in implementing current legislation on sheepmeat and goatmeat marketing were reported, according to the institution. The overall conclusion, according to the Commission, is that no new legislative proposals are needed on sales designations or carcass classification in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector.
