Dear Madam, Dear Sir,The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration is organizing a Conference on The FutureMeat Inspection on 2 - 3 February 2012 during the Danish Presidency.The Conference will take place in Copenhagen, Denmark with participants from MemberStates, some third countries, The Commission and the European stakeholders.On behalf of the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration I would very much like to inviteyou to attend.The objective of meat inspection is to protect public health, animal health and animal welfare.The traditional meat inspection has been conducted for more than 100 years and theperformance of meat inspection is still targeting hazards well known at that time.Today, both in Europe and elsewhere in the world some of the old hazards have been eradicatedand replaced by others, which latest has been described in a scientific report published byEFSA.The aim of the Conference will be to discuss- Which parts of the traditional meat inspection is still relevant- How can we modernize meat inspection to protect public health towards new hazards- How do we implement conclusions from the EFSA reportand address risks on a risk based approach- Responsibilities – competent authorities versus FBO- How do we cooperate and consider third country requirementThe Conference will consist of both sessions and workshops. There will be a “Get togetherevent” on 1 February and a Conference dinner at 2 February.
