MEPs have amended liberalising proposals from the European Commission that all micro-businesses in the food sector should be exempted from EU legislation insisting on such checks.
While accepting that for many small businesses, such a requirement was unnecessary and burdensome red tape, some small food businesses pose real health risks, the European Parliament found.
As a result, MEPs want national authorities to “have more room to decide whether micro – or even medium sized companies should stick to the HACCP procedures…on the basis of regular hazard analysis”.
