Recital 1

(1)In its communication of 20 May 2020 entitled ‘A Farm to Fork Strategy for a fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly food system’ ² , the Commission announced the revision of marketing standards to provide for the uptake and supply of sustainable agricultural products and to reinforce the role of sustainability criteria taking into account the possible impact of these standards on food loss and waste. Within this context the existing poultrymeat marketing standards should also be modified taking into account technical developments and consumer demand and the evolution of avian influenza as a risk factor for producers of free range poultrymeat.
