Aid for destruction of animal corpses

It is proposed to grant a temporary aid for part of the extra
costs for the disposal of animal corpses following the intro-
duction of the new rules on SRM and MBM. Mecklenburg-
Vorpommern will take over one-third of the extra costs. This
is considered necessary in order not
to jeopardise a safe
disposal. The aid is only given to farmers as slaughterhouses
have the possibility to charge the extra costs through to
farmers and consumers. In practice, farmers must pay only
two-thirds of
costs. SARIA Bio Industries
GmbH, the rendering company, will receive the remaining
one-third directly from the Land
