Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1375note lays down specific rules on official controls for Trichinella in meat, including rules laid down in Article 2(1) thereof for the sampling of carcasses of domestic swine in slaughterhouses as part of the post-mortem inspection, for the purpose of an examination for the presence of that disease.
