Eradication of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (extension)

This procedure proposes to extend the deadline for member states to eliminate specific transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in animals. These are fatal neurodegenerative diseases, such as scrapie, that can affect livestock and pose risks to food safety.

This change primarily affects farmers, veterinary authorities, and food safety regulators by providing more time to implement eradication measures and ensure livestock health.
