European training strategy: Better training for safer food
The European Commission established its 'Better training for safer food' strategy following the adoption in April 2004 of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 on official controls. The Regulation empowers the Commission to develop training programmes for staff of the competent authorities of the Member States and also from non-European Union countries.
The aims of the strategy are consistent with those of Regulation 882/2004 itself, and its scope extends to all aspects of feed and food legislation, to animal health and welfare rules, and also to plant health law.
