Report from the Commission to the European Parliament and to the Council on the overall operation of official controls performed in Member States (2014-2016) to ensure the verification of compliance with food and feed law, animal health and welfare rules
Publication metadata
This report describes the overall outcome of control activities of national authorities and of the Commission which aim to ensure a high level of health protection and trust in the areas of food safety, animal and plant health, animal welfare, organic farming and quality schemes. These areas are of critical importance in the daily lives of European Union (EU) citizens and key to enabling the smooth operation of trade in food, animals and plants, both within the EU itself and with non-EU countries. The report covers the years 2014 to 2016 and concludes that Member States national authorities demonstrated in their annual reports on official controls that they continue to fulfil their important role under the food and feed law. Initiatives aimed at improving effectiveness of official controls and enforcement, ranging from service reorganisation to improved use of IT tools, are particularly encouraging and are proving essential in meeting the challenge of finding efficiencies in public spending.
