Rinderkennzeichnungs- und Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz
The Rinderkennzeichnungs- und Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz (RkReÜAÜAG) (Law on delegation of supervision duties for marking of cattle and labeling of beef) was a law of the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern of 2000, dealing with the supervision of the labeling of beef. The name is an example of the virtually unlimited compounding of nouns that is possible in the Germanic languages; with 63 letters, Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz is officially the longest word in the German language.
