Spanish term

AC

Spanish to English Law/Patents Livestock / Animal Husbandry residue control
Does anyone know what AC stands for?
The text is about residue control programs in food products of animal origin exported from Mexico. I assume it's an agency of some kind.
La adición de estos métodos mejoraría fuertemente el alcance del programa de control de residuos y de ahí la base para las garantías proporcionadas por la AC con respecto al estado de residuos en los productos exportados.
Acumulativamente, estos factores pueden resultar en la presencia de residuos indeseables en los productos indiferenciados exportados y debilitan las garantías de la AC sobre el estado de los residuos en los envíos exportados.

A competent authority is any person or organization that has the legally delegated or invested authority, capacity, or power to perform a designated function.

Based on the Basel Convention, it is any national agency responsible under its national law for the control or regulation of a particular aspect of the transportation of hazardous materials (dangerous goods). The term Appropriate Authority, as used in the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Technical Instructions, has the same meaning as Competent Authority
