STATE OF IMPLEMENTATION

Completed. (All the elements of the measure have been completed both in terms of time and at all planned locations. If a measure consists of an unlimited continuum of measures, a measure can be regarded as having been completed once the first sub-measure has been completed.)

The Finnish Fur Breeders’ Association (FIFUR) participated in the preparation of the revised guidelines and has provided fur farmers with training on the application of the guidelines.
