Exclusive intelligence on policy initiatives

Our team of top journalists offers unrivalled coverage of EU legislation, with exclusive intelligence on the latest food laws and policy initiatives. We report extensively not just on the legislative and regulatory process, but also on a wide range of policy initiatives and voluntary actions by the food industry, NGOs and others. Our core coverage includes:

• Commission proposals related to food and feed.
• Key Opinions from the European Food Safety Authority, on which many EU decisions are based, paricularly in the field of health claims.
• EFSA risk assessments related to food and feed, including additives, pathogens and contact materials like BPA.
• European Parliament reports, amendments, debates and votes on food legislation.
• European Council negotiations on the key dossiers, both at working group and ministerial level.
• Standing Committee decisions on general food law, toxicology, and genetically modified organisms.
• Conferences and meetings: We cover key events related to food policy in Brussels.
• EU-wide voluntary initiatives such as the Platform for Action on Diet, Physical Activity and Health.
• National developments: We keep a close eye on risk assessments by agencies across the EU as well as any policy initiatives with EU-wide implications.
