Overview
- The Secretariat of Agriculture formally revoked the Registry of Milk Operators through Resolution 81/2026 published on Friday, June 12, 2026, ending the registration system created in 2006.
- The resolution says the registry lost operability after key oversight functions were reassigned following the 2011 dissolution of the ONCCA and therefore cannot legally impose controls or sanctions.
- Officials described the register as reduced to a "merely declarative" list that could not guarantee the accuracy or updating of operator data and that kept tying up administrative resources without producing enforcement results.
- The decision is presented as part of the government’s deregulatory push started under DNU 70/2023 and does not set out an immediate replacement mechanism for the control, inspection, or sanction roles the registry once supported.
- The change could affect producers, processors and traders who previously relied on the registry for formal recognition and oversight and may prompt the government to clarify which agencies will now carry out market checks and sanctioning authority.
