The institutions involved in the EFSA Network pursuant to Article 36 Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002 are
listed at the end of each country profile and are subject to changes. An up-to-date list of these institutions

<b>Food Safety in the EU: an Almanac</b>


<!--T:11-->
<!--T:7-->
Dear Readers,
<b>Institutions involved in the European Food Safety Association (EFSA) Network:</b>


<!--T:12-->
Article 36 Institutions are competent organisations designated by the EU Member States which may assist EFSA within its mission. For countries that belong to the EFSA network, all institutions that fall under this category are listed here.
The globalisation of food production and food
trading poses new challenges for consumer
health protection. The safety of foods and feeds
has to be guaranteed along global and increasingly
complex supply chains. In Europe, the
supply of food from all over the world is steadily
growing. Consequently, this is leading to an increase
in requirements that have to be met for
scientific assessments, reduction of food risks
and effective risk communication.


<!--T:13-->
{| class="wikitable"
The EU Food Safety Almanac gives an overview
!Institutions involved in the EFSA network pursuant to Article 36 Reg. (EC) No. 178/2002
of the competent public institutions and the structures
|-
of food and feed safety within Europe. The
|
emphasis here is on risk assessment. This overview

#Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL) (Bundesamt für Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit)

#...
it also helps to avoid the duplication of work and
|}
to clarify responsibilities.
 
<!--T:14-->
This brochure is intended for everyone who wishes
to find out more about food safety structures
and institutions. Further, it is addressed at those
who work in the following institutions and fields:
food safety agency staff, trade and general interest
press, consumer associations, the food industry,
science and politics.
 
<!--T:15-->
The Food Safety Almanac covers all Member
States of the European Union, along with Iceland,
Norway and Switzerland and the neighbouring
European countries of Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina,
the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia,
Kosovo, Montenegro, Serbia and Turkey.
 
<!--T:16-->
This brochure does not claim to give a full description
of each national structure, it is limited to the
essential aspects in the interest of clarity and is
intentionally restricted to the subject of consumer
protection as a legally protected area. This does
not mean, however, that other legally protected
areas, such as environmental protection, animal
welfare, and health and safety at work, are any
less important.
 
<!--T:17-->
During the preparation of this EU Almanac, the
German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment
received great and committed support from the
EFSA Focal Points in the Member States and from
EFSA itself. I would like to sincerely thank everyone
involved for their contributions.
 
<!--T:18-->
The EU Almanac (3rd edition) was evaluated in
2015 by members of the EFSA Advisory Forum,
the Communication working group of EFSA's Advisory
Forum, the European EFSA Focal Points
and the German institutions involved in the EFSA
network. The respondents declared themselves
“satisfied” to “very satisfied” with regard to the information
content, extent of the country profiles,
update rhythm, layout, clarity of the icons, structure
and quality of the EU Almanac. The valuable
feedback on the evaluation was integrated into
this new edition of the EU Almanac, which is available
in six languages German, English, French,
Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese.
 
<!--T:19-->
With this 4th edition of the EU Food Safety Almanac,
you are given an updated and comprehensive
overview of food and feed safety in the European
Union and other countries. In doing so, we
hope to be able to make a valuable contribution
towards strengthening risk assessment capacities
and expanding international cooperation.
