European training strategy: Better training for safer food

The European Commission established its 'Better training for safer food' strategy following the adoption in April 2004 of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 on official controls. The Regulation empowers the Commission to develop training programmes for staff of the competent authorities of the Member States and also from non-European Union countries.

The aims of the strategy are consistent with those of Regulation 882/2004 itself, and its scope extends to all aspects of feed and food legislation, to animal health and welfare rules, and also to plant health law.

See detailed information on the strategy on the Commission website via the link below.
