Harmonization of veterinary and sanitary control of ukrainian agricultural enterprises according to the requirements of the European Union: technological aspect

Abstract

In the context of Ukraine's European integration, the issue of ensuring the safety and quality of food products is gaining particular importance (Vakulenko, 2023). The country's agricultural enterprises are faced with the need to adapt their production and control processes to the requirements of the European Union (EU), which involves the harmonization of veterinary and sanitary control (Prylipko et al., 2025). Compliance with EU technological standards not only increases the competitiveness of products, but also reduces the risks of food hazards and ensures consumer confidence (Kyryliuk & Hubka, 2023). An important aspect is the implementation of modern production technologies and control systems at all stages – from raising farm animals to processing and storage of animal products. Harmonization involves the adaptation of Ukrainian norms and procedures to EU Directives and Regulations, in particular Regulation (EU) 2017/625 and requirements for HACCP systems and comprehensive veterinary control. The practical application of harmonized technological solutions contributes to the competitiveness of Ukrainian products on the international market and strengthens consumer confidence (Tankosić et al., 2022).
