The Ministry of Rural Development would introduce a product fee on meat products

The Ministry of Rural Development intends to introduce a product fee on animal products, intending to replace the meat inspection and other official fees.

The Ministry of Rural Development (VM) intends to replace the meat inspection and other official fees with product fee, in case of  animal products from January next year.

With this step, the ministry aims to improve the competitiveness of the sector, without reducing the ministry's revenue – the amount of the product fee would be the same of the payments of the current system – reports szabadfold.hu.
