“The purpose of the proposed adjustment is the need to authorize new regions of the Russian Federation (RF) to carry out veterinary marking of meat and other products resulting from slaughtering, and authorizing the new regions to carry out marking on an equal basis with other RF regions, aiming at integration of the new constituent entities into the legal system of the Russian Federation”, a summary report for the document says.

The new regions are to be assigned the following codes:

  • DPR – 82;
  • LPR – 83;
  • Zaporozhye region – 84;
