In 2000, the EU Commission's White Paper provided the impetus for a new food safety structure in Europe. A new concept for effective and comprehensive consumer health protection was introduced, whereby food safety is to be guaranteed in all stages of production and processing along the entire food chain (“from the farm to the fork”). In 2002, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) was established as an independent scientific body for risk assessment at the EU level. Following that, a network of competent institutions which operate as a link between the national and European levels, as well as between bodies in the various Member States, was created. | In 2000, the EU Commission's White Paper provided the impetus for a new food safety structure in Europe.

European Union Reference Laboratories (EU RLs) are analytical laboratories designated by EU directives and regulations. Several EU RLs are part of the Joint Research Centre (JRC), which is a Directorate General of the EC. EU RLs provide the EC with technical and scientific support in the area of diagnostic and analytical tests. The remit of EU RLs includes the set up of EU wide test standards, routine procedures and reliable methods, the organisation of comparative tests, training of analysts from national laboratories and networking with National Reference Laboratories. EU RLs have an overview of international standards and practices, reference substances, reagents and their suppliers. | European Union Reference Laboratories (EU-RLs) are analytical laboratories designated by EU directives and regulations.
