MeetingMeeting documentCountry Paper proposed by Italy 2002
Also available in:
No results found.The contamination of food of animal origin (dioxin crisis) occurred in Europe in 1999 is an opportunity to evaluate the food control system in Italy. The traumatic experience of the crisis has highlighted not only some deficiencies of the control system, but also the existence of a good traceability system of animal and product consignments coming from other EU Member States, which enabled our authorities to trace most of animal and product consignments coming form Belgium in the period in question. The dioxin crisis strongly fostered the European Union to improve the feed control system, by setting up a more effective traceability system and to strengthen the rapid alert system of the EU Member States in each case food health emergency. The experience of the European Union fosters the creation of a permanent international observatory in charge of alerting all the countries worldwide of any food emergency, which may occur.
