<p class="ecl-page-header-standardised__description">Following months of collaboration and preparation, the European Commission, working together with European industry, launched the ‘EU Code of Conduct on responsible food business and marketing practices’ on 5 July 2021. This Code marks the first concrete measure to be delivered under the Farm to Fork Strategy.

EFSA welcomes input from all those interested in having a say on the strategic direction the Authority will take in the years ahead. The public consultation is open until 2 May.</p>
<p>Bernhard Url, EFSA’s Executive Director, said: “EFSA’s Strategy 2027 comes at an important moment for the Authority. With the recent application of the Transparency Regulation, and against the wider backdrop of the European Commission’s Green Deal and Farm to Fork Strategy, we must adapt and evolve as an organisation if we are to continue to serve as the cornerstone of food safety in the EU.</p>
