Karen Hulebak discusses food safety and production
The Advisory Committee on Foodstuffs
Is a body established in 1975 to advise the European Commission on problems and issues associated with the harmonization of national laws on foodstuffs, its membership being composed of representatives from agriculture, industry and consumer associations?
The Advisory Committee on Safety, Hygiene and Health Protection at Work is a consultative body established in 1974, with a general remit to consider problems and improvements across the field of industrial safety and health. Its membership is drawn from experts and professionals in the area of industrial safety. It has assisted the European Commission in the preparation of draft legislation for all industrial sectors, other than those controlled by the European Coal and Steel Community, where there is a separate health and safety apparatus. Several of the Committee’s recommendations were incorporated into the second Action Programme on Safety and Health at Work adopted by the European Communities in 1984. The implementation of the Single European Act strengthened its role because legislation on health and safety no longer required unanimous approval within the Council of Ministers (see Council of the European Union). (See also Health and Safety; European Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances; Mines Safety and Health Commission; Social Action
