– Legislation– Figures– Risk analysis– Fees and fines

• Simplification• Future thoughts


3

Quality• „The totality of features and characteristics of

a product, process or service that bear on its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs as broadly defined in ISO 9000:2000

•No quality without safety •Quality is MORE than safety.•Commercial quality is a set of parameters describing internal and external characteristics of the produce, which are necessary to ensure transparency in trade and good eating quality.”

(Quoted from last year UN/ECE presentation)


4

Qualitythe great integrator

• Variety (law, description) • Plant protection (diagnosis, phytosanitary, residue issues)• Plant growing technology• Storage, packing, transport• Statistics, marketing• Some knowledge of food processing• Food safety• Inspection methodology• IT knowledge


5

Factors taken into consideration

•Eaten part - variability (root, leaf, fruit, blossom)•Unequal production of the regions•Very different volume of deliveries of operators•Huge possible difference between the subsequent years•Seasonality, •Possibility in EU enlargement, •Similar needs of the non-EU members, •Expanding list of products subject to standards (2200/96 EC annex I)• Financial possibilities, • And the influence of all these parameters on the feasibility


6

Step by step developmentI.
