Brussels Report
Our Brussels-based editorial team monitors the progress of legislation at
every stage - from initiation, to adoption by the Commission, through the
Standing Committees, the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament. We
follow developments at the main Council meetings and analyse the positions of
Member States on important issues. EU Food Law closely follows
scientific advice from EFSA as well as national agencies such as the UK Food
Standards Agency, BfR (German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment) and the
French food safety agency Afssa.
Food Law in the Member States
Throughout Europe we have a network of contributors monitoring new
legislation, policy proposals and the latest developments on food law in the
Member States. EU Food Law reports on new policy initiatives affecting
the food industry and the implementation of EU legislation, and also monitors
the regulation of the food industry outside the European Union.
Upstream and Downstream
EU Food Law also monitors new legislation in other sectors that affect
the food industry, including packaging and waste law, employment law, consumer
policy, competition law and environment law.
