PURPOSE: codification of Directive 91/629/EEC laying down minimum standards for the protection of calves.
LEGISLATIVE: Council Directive 2008/119/EC laying down minimum standards for the protection of calves (codified version).
CONTENT: the purpose of this Directive is to undertake a codification of Council Directive 91/629/EEC of 19 November 1991 laying down minimum standards for the protection of calves. The new Directive will supersede the various acts incorporated in it. It fully preserves the content of the acts being codified and hence does no more than bringing them together with only such formal amendments as are required by the codification exercise itself.
ENTRY INTO FORCE: 04/02/2009.
