Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) extending the special guarantees concerning Salmonella spp. laid down in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council to meat derived from broilers (Gallus gallus) intended for Denmark

The draft Regulation grants special guarantees to Denmark as regards Salmonella at import of broiler meat similar to the existing ones at import to Sweden and Finland. The prevalence of Salmonella in domestically produced broiler meat is very low in these countries and strict control measures apply. Therefore special guarantees are requested at import, which consist of testing for Salmonella spp. (with favourable result) of all consignments.
