5. Are the new hygiene regulations equally valid for all products made by small producers?

No.Accordingtothesanitaryveterinarymethodologies,verification of respecting specific hygiene requirements does not apply to:

• smallquantitiesofprimaryproductssolddirectlytothefinalconsumer,includingsoldatthefarmgateoratlocalmarkets,ortolocalretailshops,localrestaurantsandguesthouses

• primaryproductssolddirectlyateventssuchasoccasionalmarkets,fairs,religiousfestivalsetc.

Whereregulationsdoapply–forexample,forsaleofsecondaryorprocessedproductssuchascheese,meatproducts,jam–theregulationsstatethatrequire-mentsshouldbeadaptedto accommodate traditional methods of production, and the needs of producers in geographically disadvantaged regions.
