Objective
Food Safety has grown ¡n recent years from a European matter to a world-wide scientific and political issue. The use of modern biotechnology is a guarantee for societal debate, and the continuously increasing analytical technology imposes a major burden on producers and the entire food chain thereafter. The latest debate is on the approach that the western world uses food safety as a new trade barrier, whereas others state that food safety is actually part of food security. Results of FP6 research efforts on Food Quality and Safety thus need a global setting and dissemination, rather than focus on Europe only. One step further: it might be concluded that the research agenda itself needs a global dimension.
SELAMAT, meaning safety in the Malay language, aims at creating a network for international cooperation on food safety issues between Europe and Asia.
This proposal consists of the start-up phase for such a network, with a limited number of partners. In the course of the project, which will last four years, the partners will:
a) Set up the network;
b) Reach growth in partnerships, where a solid participation of the Scientific Community, Political Bodies, Consumer and Producers Associations and Industry and Retail Organisations is embedded particularly well;
c) Organise one workshop per year;
d) Organise one course on food safety per year;
e) Set up a structure for a database for analytical methods;
f) Evaluate the food safety research agenda in an international perspective.
