The questions are worded in such a way that it is difficult to identify the checks or monitoring to which the
Honourable Member refers. The general provisions of Community legislation on the monitoring of foodstuffs
are in any event applicable.

Regarding  the  assessments  to  be  carried  out  under  Articles  4  and  6  of  Regulation  No  258/97,  the  detailed
arrangements, and notable the role of the Member States as  regards the assessment bodies, are laid down in
Article 4(3) and Article 6(2) to (4), supplemented, where Commission will publish recommendations concerning
the  scientifc  aspects  of  the  preparation  of  the  initial  assessment  reports.  These  provisions  are  supplemented,
where appropriate, by the relevant provisions of Directive 90/220/EEC (2).

Regarding methods of analysis, it will be recalled that Article 4 of Directive 93/99/EEC (3) provides that Member
States  shall  ensure  that  the  validation  of  methods  of  analysis  used  within  the  context  of  official  control  of
foodstuffs complies whenever possible with certain criteria laid down in Directive 85/591/EEC (4) concerning the
introduction of Community methods of sampling and analysis for monitoring of foodstuffs intended for human
consumption.
