Update on Official Services of the European Commission Involved in Food Safety Legislation and Food Safety Control

摘要

The FAO/WHO Regional Coordinating Committee for Europe of the Codex Alimentarius Commission met recently in Bratislava, Slovak Republic, to discuss the food legislation and control activities in the region. The Codex paper included in the agenda on the EU involvement, provides a useful up-date, in the light of recent changes and new memberships of the EU. The EU Commission's guiding principle, set out in its White Paper on Food Safety published in January 2000, is to apply an integrated approach from farm to table, covering all sectors of the food chain, including feed production, primary production, food processing, storage, transport and retail sale.
