The aim of this project is to organise training sessions in order to inform third countries, in
particular developing countries among them, about the implications of the EU food safety
standards in the following sectors: fruit and vegetables, fishery & aquaculture products, plant
protection products, food labelling and traceability, residues monitoring plan, animal welfare etc.
A better understanding of the EU policy in these matters and areas of imports will allow the
competent authorities in third countries to better understand the requirements of EU
legislation and ensure improved official controls of products intended for export, thus
avoiding unnecessary burdens and facilitating trade.
