The future Royal Decree seeks to regulate all video surveillance services in slaughterhouses and includes regulations on the places where cameras must be installed, guaranteeing the privacy of workers. The objective, AESAN insists, is that the operators incorporate the viewing of the recordings into the animal welfare controls that they already carry out, as one more tool in order to guarantee the protection of the animals at the time of slaughter and the related operations.
