Food safety in the European Union is an important goal and pre-requisite in the face of the increasingly rapid globalisation of the economy. The range of foods on offer in Europe is steadily growing. This, in turn, leads to an increase in the requirements that have to be met by European countries and the European Union when it comes to the scientific assessment, reduction and effective communication of food risks.The EU Food Safety Almanac gives an overview of the competent public authorities and the structures of food and feed safety within the European Union. The emphasis is on risk assessment. This overview of the organisational links and cooperation within the European Union not only facilitates the search for European partners but also avoids duplication of work. Likewise, it promotes the clear setting out of responsibilities. This brochure is intended for everyone interested in food safety structures and institutions in particular for experts from everyday practice like parliamentarians, the staff of food safety agencies, the specialist and general interest press, consumer associations, the food industry and science. The EU Food Safety Almanac provides information on the 27 Member States of the European Union as well as Croatia, The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey.
