• Regulation (EC) No. 1308/2013

An identification number is assigned to the farm upon registration. This identification number depends, among other things, on the type of business in question, i.e. a pure hatchery receives a different identification number than, for example, a multiplication business with an attached hatchery. This means that a separate registration application is required for each farm involved in one or more of these areas.
