Amendment 77 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 44
(44) A high level of health protection through the agricultural and food supply chain is necessary to allow the internal market to operate efficiently. A safe and sustainable agricultural and food supply chain is a prerequisite for society and for the internal market. Cross border health crises and food scares disrupt the functioning of the internal market by limiting the movements of persons and goods and disrupting production. In order to prevent cross border health crises and food scares, the Programme should support concrete actions, such as establishing emergency measures in the event of crisis situations and unforeseeable events affecting animal and plant health.

Amendment 88 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 47
(47) OIn view of an increasingly globalised agricultural and food supply chain, official controls carried out by the Member States are an essential tool for verifying and monitoring that relevant Union requirements are being implemented, complied with and enforced, in particular with regard to imported agricultural and food products. The effectiveness and efficiency of official control systems is vital for maintaining a high level of safety for humans, animals and plants along the food chain whilst ensuring a high level of protection of the environment and of animal welfare. Union financial support should be made available for such control measures. In particular, a financial contribution should be available to Union reference laboratories in order to help them bear the costs arising from the implementation of work programmes approved by the Commission. Moreover, since the effectiveness of official controls also depends on the availability to the control authorities of well trained staff with an appropriate knowledge of Union law, the Union should be able to contribute to their training and relevant exchange programmes organised by competent authorities.
