What is scheduled for the 2007 training activities?
The 2007 activities comprise twelve training programmes taking place in the EU, candidate countries and third countries. The seven programmes which ran during 2006 are continuing, most of in them in an expanded format. In addition, five new training programmes are running. Three of these are EU-based and cover the monitoring and control of zoonoses, food contact materials, and the evaluation and registration of plant protection products. Two other programmes are exclusively for third countries. These are focussing on training ASEAN laboratory staff in food testing, and the EU Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed.
