Consultation response archiveShowing 21 Government Consultation Responses by Date. Show by Category.  Introducing electronic reporting for pig movements in England and WalesThe CLA welcomes the option of electronic reporting for an industry which is often efficient and vertically integrated, and welcomes the retention of a paper system for those prevented from using this system by the inadequacy of internet access in many... [Policy Work/Consultation response archive] - [10 June 2011] The Official Feed and Food Controls (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2011The CLA opposes the FSA's proposal, it is felt that by allowing the consultation document itself shows that the FSA has prejudged the situation, assuming that anyone who disagrees with their interpretation is non-compliant with food law. Thus they... [Policy Work/Consultation response archive] - [10 November 2010] Changes to the Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2009Whilst there is some genuine attempts to reduce regulation, the CLA finds the attempt to ban advertising to farmers frankly ridiculous, denying information to an industry in the internet age must surely be the last gasp of an out of touch bureaucracy... [Policy Work/Consultation response archive] - [6 September 2010] Draft Animal Health BillRead the CLA's views on the Draft Animal Health Bill here.

[Policy Work/Consultation response archive] - [28 August 2009] A New Independent Body for Animal HealthGovernment has proposed setting up a new English body to make all decisions relating to farm animal health, their proposals also contain the suggestion that a levy should be raised from farmers to pay for surveillance of exotic diseases. The CLA is in... [Policy Work/Consultation response archive] - [15 July 2009] Review of the Farm Animal Welfare CouncilThe CLA considers that the FAWC could well be included within any future cost and responsibility sharing body rather than separating welfare and health. [Policy Work/Consultation response archive] - [27 May 2009] Defra's Contingency Plan for Exotic Animal DiseasesThe CLA queries whether blutongue is still an exotic disease, and points out that in the comparatively short term the creation of contingency plans will have to be done jointly by industry and government [Policy Work/Consultation response archive] - [19 August 2008] Responsibility and Cost Sharing for Animal Health and Welfare in WalesCLA Wales has responded to the Assembly's consultation "Responsibility and Cost Sharing for Animal Health & Welfare in Wales".

Many of the changes are because the original regulations were disproportionate. It could... [Policy Work/Consultation response archive] - [28 May 2008] Sharing Costs and Responsibilities for Animal DiseaseThe CLA has participated fully in debates on this issue and has submitted a comprehensive response to the Government's consultation. In essence we consider that real, 50:50 shared decision-making between Industry and Government on animal disease control...
