Response from the competent authority: "Reply from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry\
  \ and Food:The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food and the Food Safety, Veterinary\
  \ and Plant Protection Authority have examined the petition and provide the following\
  \ clarification:\r\nThe microbiological Salmonella criterion for fresh poultry meat\
  \ has been adopted at European Union level and cannot be amended or supplemented\
  \ at national level to apply only to a particular Member State or Member States.\
  \ To equalise the requirements for fresh poultrymeat and poultrymeat preparations\
  \ would require consensus or at least a qualified majority among all Member States.\
  \ Although the European Commission's aim was to make the two criteria equivalent,\
  \ the adoption of the current criteria was dominated by the interest of certain\
  \ Member States, which are also large poultry meat producers, to maintain the two\
  \ serovars criterion (Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella typhimurium) (mainly)\
  \ because of the economic consequences - in case of the introduction of the Salmonella\
  \ spp criterion for fresh meat."
