Food Security: The White Paper 'EUROPEAN COMMISSION'

Technorati Tags: food safety , White Paper, the European Commission

A series of crises concerning food and feed (BSE, dioxin) has identified the shortcomings in the design and implementation of food regulation in the European Union. This situation has prompted the Commission to include the promotion of a high level of food safety among its political priorities for the coming years.

The White Paper on Food Safety is a key element in this strategy . The Commission propone un insieme di misure che consentono di organizzare la sicurezza alimentare in modo più coordinato e integrato, comprendente soprattutto:

• La creazione di un'Autorità alimentare europea autonoma, incaricata di elaborare pareri scientifici indipendenti su tutti gli aspetti inerenti alla sicurezza alimentare, alla gestione di sistemi di allarme rapido e alla comunicazione dei rischi; un quadro giuridico migliorato che copra tutti gli aspetti connessi con i prodotti alimentari, "dalla fattoria alla tavola"; sistemi di controllo più armonizzati a livello nazionale; un dialogo con i consumatori e le altre parti coinvolte.

La Commissione ha formulato inoltre i principi which should focus on the general European policy on food safety:

• a global, integrated, which applies to the entire food chain;
• a clear definition of roles of all parties involved in the food chain (producers of animal feed, farmers and food operators, Member States, the Commission, consumers);
• the traceability of food for humans and animals and their ingredients;
• coherence, effectiveness and the dynamism of the food policy;
• risk analysis (including assessment, management and communication risks);
• independence, excellence and transparency of scientific advice;
• the application of the precautionary principle in risk management.
