# Hygiene of foodstuffs

European Parliament procedure 2007/0037B(COD) (COD - Ordinary legislative procedure (ex-codecision procedure), 6th term, committee ENVI). Stage: Procedure lapsed or withdrawn. 17 committee amendments tabled by 8 Members between 2008-02-20 and 2008-02-20.

## What the amendments focus on

This proposal concerns the hygiene of foodstuffs. Amendments would exempt micro-enterprises and small businesses selling directly to the final consumer, such as bakeries, butchers and market stalls, from the requirement to apply HACCP-based procedures where a company-related hazard analysis shows hazards are absent or controlled, while keeping other hygiene requirements and allowing competent authorities to decide on exemptions.
