Building from existing information
Priority areas identified:
Statistics on Products “with distinctive marks”
Controls and monitoring activities
Food consumption
Traceability and labelling
Creation of a database with all relevant data

II. Approach building from existing
information
Make an inventory of data already available
Analysis of available data before launching
new surveys
Do not ask Member States to provide twice
the same information
Avoid double work

III. Control and monitoring activities
Task Force set up in 2004 Objective: Analyse if data already available from
feed and food control and monitoring activities could be used for statistical purposes
Data available at DG SANCO and/or European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):
Administrative sources
Results based on chemical and microbiological analysis
Sampling methodology defined in EU legislation

III. Control and monitoring activities Proposed indicators
Monitoring intensity Number of samples analysed, by food product Number of establishments visited Number of inspection visits
On which domains countries concentrate their efforts?
On which steps of the food chain: slaughterhouses, retailers, etc. ?
On which food products?

Slide 16 of 28 III. Control and monitoring
activities
Very complex area: many organisations involved with different responsibilities
Knowledge: scattered
Results obtained from representative sampling should not be combined with those from “targeted sampling”
Data on monitoring intensity should be put in relation with reference figures: livestock numbers, production, etc.

IV. FOOD Data base - Approach
Single and unique access to data already available in
Eurostat and other DGs of the European Commission
Give visibility
Facilitate the access:
Statistics available in more than 75 tables, from 18
different statistical domains, from 9 production units
Food and feed controls scattered from different
Commission reports

V. Food consumption statistics
Task Force 2005 To develop a mixed data collection strategy :
Supply Balance Sheets: to keep annual data
availability
Household Surveys: to collect data on food
purchases in a systematic and harmonised way.
Dietary surveys. There are several initiatives to
harmonise the data collection techniques and
food items classifications. It is crucial to follow
with work already done.
