1 Bulgaria s next steps to accession concerning food safety -The stable to table concept regarding food safety- Dr. Hinrich Meyer-Gerbaulet European Commission DG Enlargement Bulgaria Team Sofia, 4/

2 Public health aspects EU Harmonize systems for the collection, production & control of feed and food of animal and non animal origin Introduce the EU farm/stable to table concept (White book 2000) OIE Food safety new area of work since 2002 Goal to reduce food borne risks to humans Issues: safety on food of animal origin covering pre-slaughter & prior first transformation of products Focus on measures applicable at farm level 2

3 Main EU principles for the production of food Based on a common legislative framework Safe for the consumer & welfare of food producing animals Environmentally friendly and sustainable Traceable throughout the whole feed & food chain Self - supervised and self - control by the feed & food producers Inspected, monitored and controlled by the State Authorities Assessed, managed and communicated risks for feed & food safety 3

4 EU risk analysis covers all aspects of: Environment & chemistry Animal health & hygiene Animal welfare Animal nutrition, husbandry & zootechnics Collection, proccessing & marketing of feed & food 4

5 EU risk analysis is supported by: Annual sampling and monitoring plan for the food chain Network of monitoring institutions & testing laboratories Modern electronic monitoring & communication network 5

6 The EU-Veterinary System on the Protection of Consumers, Animals and Environment A. Placing on the market / Intracommunity trade = Stable to table concept Standards on Feeding Stuff / Water Pharmazeutical / Biological Standards Zootechnics / Breeding Standards EU Animals Animal Health Standards Animal Welfare Standards Chain of Production and Processing Veterinary Public Health Standards Food ready for use EU Consumer Environmental Standards 6

7 The EU-Veterinary System on the Protection of Consumers, Animals and Environment C. Export to Non Member States = EU Principle and Bilateral Agreements EU Animals & Animal Products Veterinary Export checks Non EU Consumer 7

8 The EU-Veterinary System on the Protection of Consumers, Animals and Environment B. Import / Transit from Nom Member States = EU-Veterinary Import / Transit Policy EU Hygiene & Technical Standards Non-EU Animals & Animal Products Veterinary Import / Transit checks at BIP s on Outer Border Internal Veterinary checks EU Consumer 8

10 Results of BG s negotiations on EU membership concerning food safety EU acquis transposed, implemented & enforced at accession No transitional measures except for processing of raw milk 10

11 Enforcing the EU food safety acquis Institutions involved: 1. Universities/schools 2. State & private veterinary sector 3. Feed & food collection & processing industry 4. Farmers & lifestock industry 11

12 Universities/schools Teaching & training of Undergraduates (Dir. 78/1027/EEC, 05/36/EC) Official Veterinarian (Reg. (EC) 854/2004) Control staff of feed & feed chain (Reg. (EC) 882/2004) on the farm/stable to table concept regrding food safety 12

13 State & private veterinary sector 1. Establish the administrative structures and capacity within HQ, regional & local services, laboratories & BIPs 2. Enforce the tasks regarding approval, registration of establishments, monitoring, surveillance, inspection & control, sampling & testing, health marking & certification, collection of fees 13

14 Feed & food collection & processing industry Structures for collection, processing of feed & food including disposal Operation of structures according to technical norms & standards, hygiene & quality requirements Own checks, self supervision & HACCP Labelling Traceability 14

15 Farmers & lifestock industry 1. Animal identification & traceability 2. Application of technical, hygienic standards & norms 3. Registration of establishments 4. Animal health trust fund 15

16 Common*) Aspects of agri-environmental standards: Pharmaceuticals from herd treatment Chemicals from industrial pollution, fertilizers,, herbicides, pesticides Environmental microbiology & parasitology Pollutions from animal holdings in soil, water & air *) OIE working group on Animal Production Food Safety 2004 *) EU New legislation package on Food Safety

17 Aspects of pharmaceutical & biological standards: Microbiological resistance Residues Development of new efficient pharmaceuticals Use of GMOs Identification & traceability systems 17

18 Aspects of feeding stuffs and water standards: Additives GM feeds Contamination (physical( physical, chemicals, microbiology, parasitology) Traceability regarding animals receiving on GM feed 18

19 Aspects of zootechnical & husbandry standards: Disease resistance & genetic resources GM animals Keeping, housing & production systems, equipment Managment of farming 19

20 Aspects of animal health & hygiene standards: Disease prevention & control programmes EU non vaccination policy GMO vaccines Identification & traceability systems 20

21 Aspects of animal welfare standards: Keeping, housing & production systems, equipment Stunning of animals Transport of animals Breeding of certain animals 21

22 Approach of EU & OIE Challenges: Conclusions (1): Food collection & processing technology & HACCP Examination & sampling of food Additives & other substances Residues & contamination Production technology norms & hygiene standards Zoo anthroponosis / biological hazards Traceability of the food chain 22

23 Conclusions (2): Healthy animals and products of animal origin, properly handled, monitored, checked & tested a) Keep the food industry running safely, efficiently & profitably b) Guaranty the highest level of protection of the consumers and their trust in the system 23

24 Conclusions (final) Next steps of Bulgaria to EUmembership regarding the farm/stable to table concept Institutions involved Tasks ahead indentified 24
