To whom and on what terms
A plant can be registered when it complies with the requirements of the Animal By-Products Regulation.
An operator must notify the municipal veterinarian about changes to their operations or termination of their operations. In the event of a significant operational change, the operator must apply for an approval of the change before the changed operations begin. If the registered plant no longer meets the conditions for registration, the registration can be revoked either temporarily or permanently.
If the operator has established itself in another country in the European Economic Area and temporarily offers services in Finland, the same registrations are required as from operators established in Finland.
Deadline
The plant must apply for registration before the launch of operations.
Period of validity
The registration is valid until further notice.
