Food safety in Europe - who is responsible for what?
BfR publishes 2. completely revised edition of the EU Food Safety Almanac
Each of the 33 country profiles contains a diagram that depicts the structure of governmental authorities and a detailed description of tasks and responsibilities of each institution. 10 icons depict the areas of responsibility graphically. BfR’s EU Food Safety Almanac thus explains which authorities in the 33 states are responsible for the assessment of plant protection products, health claims or zoonoses, which ministries in the Member States are responsible for the management in which areas, how risks are communicated and to what extent risk assessment and risk management are institutionally separated.
The booklet is addressed to all those interested in the legal structures and institutions of food safety in Europe, especially experts in the field such as the staff of food safety authorities, news media, members of parliament, consumer associations, the food industry as well as science.
