Other pressing issues are the lack of modern slaughter points, with animals slaughtered in obsolete facilities or even outside the slaughter sites (according to the Ministry of Agriculture, existing official facilities are sufficient to slaughter only 30% of animals destined for slaughter). Another problem is inadequate equipment and staffing of veterinary and quarantine laboratories, which do not comply with international standards. The phytosanitary system faces similar problems of under-equipment, particularly at border control points, lack of staff and qualified quarantine specialists. There is also an issue of the absence of quarantine laboratories at the border.
