The Commission has submitted two proposals to us on beef labelling, one which makes beef labelling compulsory in Member States as of 1 January 2001 and one which is drafted as a transitional regulation up to 31 December 2000, i.e. voluntary labelling.
Kommissionen har forelagt os to forslag om mærkningen af oksekød. Dels, at mærkning af oksekød i medlemsstaterne bliver pligt fra 1.1.2001, og det andet forslag lyder, at vi har at gøre med en overgangsordning frem til 31.12.2000, altså den frivillige mærkning.
