Section III deals with special administrative organs and with their duties. These organs are: (i) the Ministry, (ii) the National Institute for Agricultural Quality Control, (iii) the territorially competent animal health station. Section IV regards offences and sanctions. Producers of feedstuffs that do not meet standards are liable to a penalty. The Decree provides detailed rules for the implementation of the Law.
