While the Codex Alimentarius provides the Principles and guidelines for National Food Control Systems (CAC/GL 82-2003), countries are free to determine how to best design their food control system and implement specific control measures. These systems must fit the specific national situations (e.g. appropriate level of public health protection; legal and institutional set up; availability of support services, such as analytical resources, etc) therefore no two systems are alike. However, whatever the architecture of the national food control system, measuring its effectiveness is universally important to verify that resources are being well-used and to inform plans for further strengthening of the system. Being able to demonstrate performance can also be very important, while discussing with potential trading partners, to open new markets or improve trading rela tionships and in building stakeholder confidence domestically.
