EFFICIENCY OF STATE CONTROL OVER THE SAFETY AND QUALITY OF LIVESTOCK PRODUCTS UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF UKRAINE'S INTEGRATION INTO THE EU
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction. During the last decades, the problem of the safety of animal husbandry products has worsened in Ukraine. To solve it, the European model of control (supervision) of the safety of livestock products is being implemented, which is considered one of the most effective in the world. However, the results of such implementation are still far from desired. In addition to solving the problem of the safety of livestock products, there is an urgent need to strengthen state supervision of quality assurance processes and detailed legislative regulation of these processes. Improvement of the quality management system in animal husbandry is needed.
The purpose of the article is to analyse the effectiveness of state control over the safety and quality of animal husbandry products in Ukraine and to substantiate ways of improving such control.
Results. The article reveals the results of evaluating the effectiveness of state control (supervision) over the safety and individual quality indicators of livestock products in Ukraine. The necessity of applying the following efficiency components is substantiated: legislation, management and its organizational structure, inspection and laboratory service, information, training and communications. It was determined that for a long period of time (until 2015), the system of state control (supervision) was archaic and actually oriented on the principles of command-administrative economy. The modern trends and specifics of improving the Ukrainian control system in the direction of its harmonization with the European one have been revealed. Attention was focused on the significant amount of work that had to be done in a very short time frame, as well as on the lack of adequate funding and qualified specialists. It was revealed that the current legislation in the field of guaranteeing the quality and safety of livestock products in Ukraine remains imperfect and not fully developed. The presence of an insufficient number of professional inspection and laboratory services is emphasized. A conclusion was made about the chaotic nature of the measures for the formation of a system of state control close to the European one.
Originality. Theoretical approaches to assessing the effectiveness of state control (supervision) over the safety of animal husbandry products have been improved. The need to develop a number of by-laws is substantiated and other solutions aimed at improving the effectiveness of control over the safety and individual quality indicators of livestock products in Ukraine are proposed.
Conclusions. A comprehensive assessment of the five main components of state control in the field of livestock product safety in Ukraine (legislation, state management and its organizational structure, inspection and laboratory services, information, training and communications) gives grounds for the conclusion that the effectiveness of the specified system remains extremely low . The state control system does not yet guarantee the proper quality and safety of animal husbandry products. Competent authorities are not yet able to stop both the production of low-quality domestic livestock products and the importation of foreign products of dubious quality into the territory of Ukraine. In Ukraine, according to the Committee for the Protection of Consumer Rights, about 80% of food products of animal origin are falsified according to one or more indicators.
