Autoritatea Nationala Sanitara Veterinara si pentru Siguranta Alimentelor

a solicitat Comisiei Europene

astazi, 31 mai 2010, ca Romania fie sa recunoscuta ca tara libera de bruceloza bovina.

The European Parliament

has blocked the authorisation of bovine and porcine

thrombin as an additive to bind together meat morsels into one piece.
In a vote yesterday, MEPs stated that use of the ‘meat glue’ creates reconstituted meat products that “carry an unacceptably high risk of misleading consumers”.

The Directorate General for Health and Consumers held a Roundtable on the Revision of Meat Inspection. The meeting is a first exchange of views with all relevant parties (Member States, private stakeholders, third countries, CODEX Alimentarius) on the future of meat inspection and will be followed by additional working group meetings.

An FVE delegation, headed by President W.Winding, spoke with the recently appointed EU Commissioner for “Health and Consumer Policy” Mr J. Dalli. Mr J. Dalli really welcomed FVE delegation pointing out how important is a good communication with the veterinary profession. The Commissioner considers Animal Health and Welfare to be part of the European values. He underlined the role of the veterinary profession in Public Health.

Europarlamentarul roman Viorica Dancila a primit raspunsul Comisiei Europene la intrebarea scrisa privind protectia agricultorilor din exploatatii de subzistenta si semi-subzistenta. Potrivit raspunsului oferit de comisarul european pentru agricultura si dezvoltare rurala, Dacian Ciolos, politica de dezvoltare rurala ofera o masura specifica de sustinere pentru exploatatiile agricole de semisubzistenta in curs de restructurare. "In actiunile Comisiei se regaseste preocuparea pentru acest aspect (situatia fermierilor de subzistenta si semi-subzistenta n.red.). Planul european de redresare economica (PERE) si Strategia UE 2020 vizeaza redresarea economica globala, acordand o atentie deosebita abordarii dimensiunii sociale a crizei spre binele tuturor cetatenilor Uniunii Europene. Mai precis, actiunile in domeniul agriculturii s-au axat pe sprijinul acordat zonelor rurale in general.
