Philippines Initiates New Environmental Compliance Assistance Center
 The Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) and Philippines's National
Meat Inspection Service (NMIS) organized an orientation for regulators
at the Compliance Assistance Center (CAC)Â for Slaughterhouses in the
Laguna de Bay Region in Calauan, Philippines on March 7, 2008. As one
of the CAC's first activities, the workshop involved briefing
regulators on the CAC's services and the relationship between the CAC
and the implementation of environmental laws. Â Over 90 participants
from local government agencies engaged CAC representatives in a
discussion to learn how the center can improve compliance among the
regulated community. The workshop also provided participants an
opportunity to discuss improving coordination and ensuring consistent
information exchange to strengthen enforcement at different levels and
to promote compliance in the slaughterhouse industry. As part of an
overarching compliance assistance program, AECEN supports members in
the Philippines and Thailand strengthen compliance promotion in the
slaughterhouse and hog-farm sectors. A formal launch of the
Philippines's slaughterhouse and hog-farm assistance centers is planned
for April 29, 2008.
