Message definition (Germany:Germany)
The work of the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut (FLI) focusses on farm animal health and welfare and on the protection of humans from zoonoses, i.e. infections which can be transmitted from animals to humans. These tasks are defined in Section 27 of the Animal Health Act. FLI conducts basic and applied research in different scientific fields.

The main focus of the Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL) is on risk management. In the field of food safety the BVL supports the cooperation between the BMEL, BMUB and the federal states. Together with the federal states, the BVL coordinates programmes for inspection and control of food to ensure comparable results and procedures in all 16 federal states of Germany. The BVL is the national contact point for the Rapid Alert System (RASFF) of the European Union. In times of crisis, it serves as a situation centre for the crisis management group of the BMEL.
