Three conclusions from this data
• The European Consumer can buy more food and goods from all over the world than ever. Wherever it comes from it has to be safe and from reliable sources.
• Trade within the EU is based on common rules and mutual confidence in their enforcement (control systems).
• International trade is based on international agreements and on requirements from the importer, which has to be fulfilled and guaranteed by the exporter. These guarantees have to be controlled.

What is the Food and Veterinary Office?
In other words:
The FVO is an official, independent audit and inspection service of the European Commission covering control systems worldwide for food and other goods intended for intracommunity trade or direct /indirect import to the EU.
(As such it has a quite unique role within the Commission. There is no comparable institution in other countries)

What does the FVO look at during an audit?
FVO assessment of control systems:
• Aims to answer 4 questions:
• IS there a system?
• CAN it work (i.e. ensure EU standards achieved)
• DOES it work, in practice?
• If not, WHY not?
• The answers provide the basis for FVO report recommendations
• Assessment made against EU general and specific requirements

What FVO is not A police service:
• We have no police powers
A fire-brigade: • We don’t (and can’t) run after every incident
A research institute/lab: • We don’t take samples etc.
The Competent Authority: • We don’t do their job; where corrective action is needed • We don’t decide on or tell them how to implement the corrective action • We indicate the result which must be achieved

Salmonella control programs
• 99,020 reported cases of human salmonellosis in 2010
• 22.1 % of verified food-borne illness outbreaks in 2010 were caused by eggs or egg products
• 31% of the total number of verified outbreaks were linked to Salmonella.
But the trend is going in the right direction:
• reported cases of human salmonellosis: divided by ~2 in 5 years
• RASFF notifications: 95 in 2009, 75 in 2010, 20 in 2011
• Main hazard detected was Salmonella (approx. 95 % of total RASFF on poultry for 2010)
