The EEC approved the permissible amount of residual veterinary drugs in products of animal origin

According to the Eurasian Economic Commission, the new regulation establishes acceptable standards for the content of traces of 75 veterinary drugs in products of animal origin. This applies to both processed and non-processed products, and such a regulation is a unique initiative for international practice, the EEC said in a statement.

In addition to these drugs, the document also specifies the requirements for the control of residues of medicines that are not included in the list or are not registered at all in the territories of the EAEU countries . This is important, among other things, to control the safety of imported products, the report says. 

Work on the document was carried out for four years, the commission noted. After its adoption, the problem with the supply of animal products between the member countries of the EAEU will be resolved, since previously there were often difficulties due to different interpretation of test results, up to bans on supplies.
