Page 18: 1 International Workshop for CIS countries “ The use of standards for fresh fruit and vegetables and dry produce in technical regulations and the application.

In 2009, the Unit screened 4.953 samples of fruit, vegetables, cereals, and processed products marketed in France, including 1.471 that were part of targeted inspections.

Sample breakdown according to origin: 67.0% of French origin 15.9% from other EU Member States 14.4% imported from third countries 2.6% of undetermined origin

Screening makes it possible to search for and measure 308 active ingredients. The most frequently encountered compounds are insecticides and fungicides.

Regulation on the provision of food information to

consumersRegulation N° ----/2011

o Merges eight sector-based pieces of legislation including Directives 2000/13 and 90/496 to streamline and improve consumer information

o Maintains the body of lawo Strengthens certain provisions (legibility)o Introduces new obligations (nutrition

declaration)

Page 21: 1 International Workshop for CIS countries “ The use of standards for fresh fruit and vegetables and dry produce in technical regulations and the application.

Conclusion

o The Regulation on the provision of food information to consumers attempts to reconcile two different areas :

Taking account of technical data, in particular the size of the label, its legibility and the restrictions binding on professionals.

Providing more information on food to consumers complies with a requirement, in particular concerning origin and allergens

• Certain inspections can be delegated to third-party agencies with a certain number of conditions, in particular accreditation. However, certain tasks cannot be delegated e.g. the implementation of coercive measures
