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.
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.
