Foundations of EU Food Law and Policy
This volume presents the viewpoints of academics, food lawyers, industry and consumer representatives as well as those of EU policymakers on the first ten years of activity of one of the most prominent European agencies. Its broader purpose, however, is to discuss the future role played by EFSA within the rapidly-evolving area of EU food law and policy. By revisiting and discussing the milestones in the history of EFSA, the collection provides forward-looking views of food leaders and practitioners on the future scientific and regulatory challenges facing the European Union. In particular, by presenting a critical assessment of the agency’s activities within its different areas of work, th...
Improving Efficiency and Transparency in Food Safety Systems - Sharing Experiences
This publication reports on the first Global Forum on food safety regulation which was held in Morocco in January 2002 and included delegates from 110 countries and 17 international organisations. Its purpose was to exchange information and experiences regarding food safety issues of international importance. Aspects considered include: inspection techniques; risk management; capacity building; consumer involvement in food safety; and communication issues.

Interdire le tabac
Alors qu’il tue chaque année 60 000 personnes en France et 5 millions dans le monde, pourquoi le risque sanitaire « tabac » est-il laissé de côté ? Pourquoi n’assiégeons-nous pas les usines de fabrication de cigarettes pour sensibiliser à leurs effets mortifères, comme le font les militants antinucléaire avec les centrales ? Pourquoi les élus locaux ne sont-ils pas menacés de non-réélection s’ils ne plaident pas en faveur de l’interdiction du tabac, comme ils le sont pour lutter contre l’implantation d’antennes-relais ou la culture des OGM ? Il est temps de comparer les dangers du tabac à ceux des risques sanitaires dénoncés chaque jour, et dont les ravages sont ...
EU Food Law and Policy
To all appearances, Europe is at present undergoing a crisis of consumer confidence with respect to the food industry. Recent food scares, the genetically-modified food controversy, a growing public awareness of the environmental footprint of intensive farming methods, and a perceived threat to the deeply-held European cultural values surrounding diet and cuisine all have combined to expose the vulnerability of consumers in the very ordinary activity of purchasing food. Although the creation of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in February 2002 can be viewed as an EU response to this crisis, it in fact represents an inevitable milestone in a body of food-specific European legislation...
Trade in Food

Its main purpose is to provide readers keen to deepen their knowledge of the field with easy access to the EC and WTO food laws accompanied by a critical explanation and commentary. The book is suitable for legal practitioners, judges, policy-makers, officials of international organizations as well as post graduate students of international trade law and policy, international and European economic law, global administrative law and risk regulation.
The Political Accountability of EU and US Independent Regulatory Agencies
The Political Accountability of EU and US Independent Regulatory Agencies is an in-depth investigation on the law and practices of the political accountability arrangements of the 35 EU and 16 US independent agencies. The comparative analysis demonstrates similarities between the political accountability arsenals and challenges to political oversight in the EU and the US. The greatest differences are revealed in the organization of the political accountability of independent agencies, i.e., ‘excessive diversity in the EU vs. uniformity in the US’, and the design of accountability obligations. Based on comparative insights, the book concludes with three recommendations on how the EU agencies’ political accountability could be adjusted in the ongoing reform on agencies’ creation and operation.
