MeetingThe General Principles of Food Law in the European Union and The European Food Safety Authority
Conference Room Document proposed by the European Community
2002Also available in:
No results found.European food legislation has evolved over the last forty years reflecting a blend of scientific, societal, political and economic forces. Over this period, food legislation has had different policy objectives linked to the Common Agricultural Policy or the development of the Internal Market. Although inextricably linked with the establishment and maintenance of a high level of protection of human health, safety and of consumer protection, food law at the European level was characterised with so me divergence in approach, some inconsistencies and even some lacunae. One of the key objectives therefore of the new Regulation is to establish common definitions, including a definition of food, and to lay down the overarching guiding principles and legitimate objectives for food law in order to ensure a high level of health protection. In contrast to the relatively recent development of food law at Community level, national "food acts" have a longer history. The Regulation harmonises at Community level existing national requirements, placing them in the European context. -
