EUROPEAN REGULATION IN THE VETERINARY SANITARY AND FOOD SAFETY AREA, COMPONENT OF EUROPEAN POLICIES ON THE SAFETY OF FOOD PRODUCTS AND THE PROTECTION OF CONSUMER INTERESTS: A 2007 RETROSPECTIVE. PART THREE: DIRECTIVES

Summary/Abstract: The European regulation of the veterinary sanitary and food safety area is carried out differently, depending on various factors. The main European regulatory acts regulating the veterinary sanitary and food safety area are Regulations, Directives and Decisions. During the year 2007, the year of accession to the UE for Romania, 25 directives were passed, with the European Commission as the main issuing institution. For Romania as a member state of the European Union, the most prominent role in transposing the 25 directives was played by the competent national authority: the National Veterinary Sanitary and Food Safety Authority. The subdomains regulated by directives were different, consisting of those considered to be classical, as well as contemporary ones: pesticide residues; food ingredients; highly contagious infectious diseases; food production and marketing; materials coming into contact with food products of animal origin etc. All regulations of the directive type are centered around the protection of the agro-alimentary line, food safety and the protection of consumer interests.
