Book Description
This report describes the main conclusions in relation to a series of 10 audits carried out in Member States during 2016, with the objective of evaluating the systems put in place to implement Article 4(6), on audits of competent authorities, of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council. It was found that those competent authorities that had effectively implemented audits of official controls could demonstrate that their audit process contributed to ensuring the quality, and improving the consistency and effectiveness of official controls, provided that there was strong management commitment to the follow-up of audit recommendations. Some challenges remain in ensuring that audit arrangements are optimised to provide credible, reliable results that have a positive impact on the effectiveness and consistency of official controls. In particular some competent authorities had not yet fully addressed the requirements for independent scrutiny of the audit process and effective follow-up of audit results.

Book Description
This report provides an overview of the outcome of a series of audits carried out by the Food and Veterinary Office (FVO) in 19 Member States (MSs) of the European Union (EU) between January 2012 and June 2014. This was the fourth series of FVO audits in this area. The objective of the audits was to evaluate the control systems in place for pesticides, in particular, the implementation of requirements for the authorisation of plant protection products (PPPs) and official controls on the marketing and use of PPPs under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and Directive 2009/128/EC, and the implementation of the requirements for official controls of PPPs at growers, as specified in Regulation (EC) No 882/2004.^While there were systems and procedures for the authorisation of PPPs in place in all Member States, related shortcomings were identified in two areas: (a) Delays with re-authorisations of PPPs under Directive 91/414/EEC, and with mutual recognitions under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009: Many authorised PPP had not been evaluated to EU standards, more than 15 years after the principles for evaluation had been established. Similarly, delays and problems with cooperation between Member States were identified for the zonal authorisation system under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. This highlights the difficulty of MSs to implement authorisation systems based on EU legislation; (b) Emergency authorisations of PPPs under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009: The report identifies problems with misuse of emergency authorisations for minor uses of PPPs, but also for other use extensions of approved PPPs.^In addition, emergency authorisations for the same products have been granted for consecutive years, thus undermining the effectiveness of the strict criteria for regular authorisations established by EU legislation. Systems were in place for official controls on the marketing and use of PPPs. One common weakness in controls at both market and user level, was the coverage of operators. With regard to official controls on the marketing of PPPs, there were further weaknesses related to unsatisfactory labelling checks and unsatisfactory quality controls of pesticides. As a consequence, there was insufficient assurance that counterfeit and illegal pesticides would be detected. In general, official controls on the use of PPPs were more effective than controls on the marketing of PPPs.^In most of the MSs visited, all relevant aspects were covered during inspections and comprehensive checks of records kept by professional users were taking place, which provided guarantees that PPPs are applied in accordance with the conditions specified on the labels. Weaknesses were identified with regard to prioritisation of official controls. Co-ordination and co-operation between and, in some cases, within CAs was considered to be weak. Initial measures were adequately put into place for the implementation of Directive 2009/128/EC, in particular, training and certification of professional users, safe handling and storage of PPPs, their containers and remnants, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and application equipment. This is a step forward to ensure the sustainable use of pesticides. Good practices were found with regard to systems for official controls as a whole, or certain aspects. These are described in the relevant chapters of the report.

Book Description
Over a third of global agrifood exports cross borders at least twice before reaching the final consumer. The complexity of food supply chains and the growing importance of the global agrifood trade thus creates new and ever greater challenges for the management of food safety. Geographically dispersed foods that have been produced, processed and distributed by multiple actors can pose heightened food safety risks. Tracing the origins of unsafe food is also more complex and time-consuming. For this reason, many nations have implemented more rigorous systems of food control for agrifood imports, while many others need assistance to develop them. To this end, FAO developed this guidance as part of a project entitled 'Digital solutions in support of improved official food control services'. The aim is to provide guidance for the design and implementation of a food control e-notification system, one tailored to national needs and resources. This guidance includes the system’s legal basis, its structure and operational parameters, as well as its infrastructure and human resource requirements.

Book Description
The economic importance of dairy powders and concentrated products to dairy-producing countries is very significant, and there is a large demand for them in countries where milk production is low or non-existent. In these markets, dairy products are made locally to meet the demand of consumers from recombined powders, anhydrous milk fat and concentrated dairy ingredients (evaporated and sweetened condensed milk). This volume is the latest book in the Technical Series of The Society of Dairy Technology (SDT). Numerous scientific data have been available in journals and books in recent years, and the primary aim of this text is to detail in one publication the manufacturing methods, scientific aspects, and properties of milk powders (full-fat, skimmed and high protein powders made from milk retentates), whey powders (WP) including WP concentrates, lactose, caseinates, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and infant baby feed. The book also covers the international standards relating to these products for trading purposes, as well as the hazards, such as explosion and fire, that may occur during the manufacture of dairy powders. The authors, who are all specialists in these products, have been chosen from around the world. The book will be of interest to dairy scientists, students, researchers and dairy operatives around the world.

Book Description
This unique textbook takes a holistic approach to food poisoning and food hygiene, explaining in clear and non-technical language the causes of food poisoning with practical examples from 'real-life' outbreaks. Now in its seventh edition, the book retains its longstanding clarity, while being completely revised and updated by a new team of editors and contributing authors. Hobbs' Food Poisoning and Food Hygiene gives the reader a practical and general introduction to the relevant micro-organisms that affect food in relation to food safety and foodborne illness. Emphasis is given to the main aspects of hygiene necessary for the production, preparation, sale and service of safe food. Information about the behaviour of microbiological agents in various foods, their ability to produce toxins and the means by which harmful organisms reach food is applied to manufacture and retail procedures, and to equipment and kitchen design. For the first time the book includes coverage of waterborne infections and sewage and, through judicious selection of case examples, indicates the global nature of food and water hygiene today. The contribution of different professional groups to the control of food- and waterborne organisms is also recognized. This book remains an essential course text for students and lecturers dealing with food science, public health, microbiology, environmental health and the food service industry. It also serves as an invaluable handbook for professionals within the food industry, investigators, researchers in higher education and those in the retail trade.

Book Description
This book addresses, reviews and evaluates key themes in organic aquaculture and is set out to show how these relate to the challenges and bottlenecks for a responsible organic aquaculture production in Europe. The key themes reflect the main challenges facing the organic aquaculture industry: guarantee and certification system, nutrition, reproduction, production system design and animal welfare. In addition, it assesses the impact of new and future potential development of new knowledge to update and modify the criteria and standards for organic aquaculture. Organic aquaculture is an alternative production approach driven by the growing interest in sustainable utilization of resources. It is rightly viewed as an important contributor to the economy and to the well-being and health of communities. This work will contribute to the scientific knowledge that needs to strengthen effective organic aquaculture. The collation of information on research and data will be of applied value to researchers, university students, end users and policy authorities in the EU and worldwide.
