Better Training for Safer Food is a Commission training initiative covering food and feed law, animal health and welfare and plant health rules.
It trains Member State and candidate country national authority staff involved in official controls in these areas.
This aims to keep participants up-to-date with Community law in these areas and should help to ensure more harmonised and efficient controls.
Efficient controls are an essential factor in maintaining high levels of consumer protection, animal health and plant health. Harmonisation of controls
should help to create a level playing field for food businesses.
Training is also organised specifically for third, particularly developing country participants so as to familiarise them with EU requirements.
This should help to ease access to the EU market for products from developing countries.
