Brussels unveils food safety comments

by FWi staff

THE European Commission has published a series of comments from interested parties regarding its Food Safety White Paper.

The White Paper, adopted in January, sets out a major programme of legislative reform to complete its “farm to table” approach to food safety.

It also proposed the establishment of a new European Food Authority.

Nearly 110 contributions were received after Brussels invited interested parties to comment in a bid to increase transparency at all levels of food safety.

In so far as their authors have agreed to publication, these comments are available on the Commissions Europa website
