Agenzie e uffici
Agenzie e uffici usati e creati dalla commissione europea per aumentare le
interazioni tra gli stati membri e la comunità europea.
Tra le più importanti e dove sono coinvolti i veterinari ricordiamo:
-EPO (European Patent organisation) -EMEA (european medicine agency)
-FVO (food and vet office)
-EFSA (european food safety authority)
-EPSO (european personnel selection office)
-EAPHP (executive agency for the public health programme)

I settori di nostra competenza
La Commissione è suddivisa in "direzioni generali" (DG) e servizi.
Ogni DG è classificata in base alle politiche di sua competenza.
I servizi si occupano di questioni amministrative più generali o hanno un mandato specifico,
come la lotta anti frode o l'elaborazione di statistiche.
DG SANTE (sanità e sicurezza alimentare)
OUR GOALS

A zero-risk society may not be possible but we are doing as much as we can to reduce
and manage risks for our citizens.

WHAT WE DO
We will achieve our goals by watching, listening to people's concerns and
acting.
• Monitoring - once the EU has passed laws on food and product safety,
consumer rights or public health, it is up to national, regional and local
governments to apply those laws - to ensure everybody stick to the
rules. • Listening - to be effective, our policies must take account of related EU
policies on trade, competitiveness and the environment for example, and
the concerns of our stakeholders. Through broad consultation , we want
to hear from all interested parties.
• Acting - where EU action is needed, we make proposals using a mixture
of laws, support for projects and other measures. We also support
national or regional authorities where they are better placed to act.

Objectives
The EU Health Strategy has 3 main objectives:
• fostering good health in an ageing Europe
The EU Health Strategy sets out actions to prevent diseases and tackle lifestyle factors determining health, like
living and working conditions, nutrition, and physical activity. • protecting citizens from health threats
New emerging health threats require a fast and coordinated response. The EU has therefore established an
EU‑wide network to respond rapidly.
Prevention measures in areas such as antimicrobial resistance and healthcare associated infections must also be
constantly adapted.
• supporting dynamic health system and new technologies
New technologies can contribute to the efficiency and sustainability of health systems, while improving access to
safe, high‑quality healthcare for Europeans.

Food and Veterinary Office (FVO)
The FVO carries out audits, inspections and related non-audit activities to ensure that EU legislation on food safety, animal health, animal welfare, plant health and in the area of medical
devices is properly implemented and enforced. This means EU citizens enjoy a high level of
safety, and that goods are traded under safe conditions.
How does the FVO achieve this?
With a team of some 180 professionals from most EU Member States the FVO’s primary role is to
conduct audits or inspections to ensure the national authorities are fulfilling their legal obligations.
This can be done during on-the-spot audits, or by desk based exercises or collation of Member
States data. The audit is on the system not individual premises and it culminates in a written report.
Aree tematiche
Who decides which countries to visit?
On the basis of a multi-annual programme, each year the FVO publishes a work programme. This is produced
in consultation with other Commission services and with Member States. It considers risk and trade factors, plus
the status of legislation, to prioritise visits. The programme provides a balance between EU Member States and
non-EU countries.
What happens during an FVO Audit?
The audit team is typically composed by 2 FVO staff, often with the presence of a national expert from a
Member State authority. The team arranges an Audit programme that will typically visit the control authority, a
number of regional and local authorities, laboratories and a number of accompanied site visits (e.g. to farms,
processors, feed units, slaughterhouses and retailers). The information is gathered to provide a series of
findings which are presented at a closing meeting.
Aree tematiche
What if the audit identifies deficiences?
FVO reports may make recommendations to assist the Competent Authorities in taking corrective measures.
The actions made are followed up either admininstratively, in general follow-up audits in Member States, or by
on the spot audits.
If non-compliances are sufficiently serious, stronger actions may be taken by the European Commission in
agreement with Member States, these include legal action, restrictions or even bans on the movement of
goods or animals.
What else does the FVO do?
As well as the individual Audit reports the FVO produces Overview reports which are discussed with
stakeholders to help with implementation, or may help in the production of new legislation. TRACES

•
•
•
live animals
semen, ova and embryos
products of animal origin
Community legislation on animal diseases:
•
•
•
•
new Animal Health Strategy to improve the prevention and control of animal disease in the EU

ANIMAL WELFARE
The European Commission's activities in this area start with the recognition that animals are sentient beings. The
general aim is to ensure that animals need not endure avoidable pain or suffering and obliges the owner/keeper of
animals to respect minimum welfare requirements.
EU legislation on the protection of animals
• on the farm and in particular laying hens, calves and pigs
• during transport
• at time of slaughter or killing
Aree tematiche
ZOOTECHNICS
Satisfactory results in animal production depend to a large extent on the use of domestic animals
of high genetic quality. The Community's zootechnical legislation aims at the promotion of free
trade in breeding animals and their genetic material considering the sustainability of breeding
programs and preservation of genetic resources.
Zootechnics issues
• Breeding programmes of approved organisations on the basis of harmonised rules
• Zootechnical legislation

drafting legislation
• Calves can not be kept in small veal crates in the EU since end of 2006
• Barren battery cages for egg laying hens are illegal since 1 January 2012
• Pregnant sows need to be kept in groups with enough space to move around from 1 January
2013
• Using accepted alternative of non-animal test methods in research and safety testing is
now an obligation
• The sales of cosmetic products tested on animals has been phased out • It is forbidden to import birds caught in the wild for the pet trade
• Zoos have a duty to keep animals in good conditions and need to contribute to conservation
