Specialists of the National Food Safety Agency (NFSA) will be trained to apply the European norms and methods of promoting products on the internal and foreign markets. On July 29, the Agency signed an action plan with the National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Authority of Romania by which the Romanian authority will provide assistance to the Moldovan colleagues and the Government of Moldova in working out the national strategy for communication on European themes, IPN reports.
The Romanian authority’s head Vladimir Alexandru Manastireanu welcomed this action plan, saying that for Moldova, it is important to promote its products on the markets of Romania and the EU. “The consumers will be informed about the safety of the food products made by Moldovan companies. Also, the Moldovan companies will be informed about the European hygiene and product promotion norms,” he stated.
Vladimir Alexandru Manastireanu added that the Moldovan producers will be examined by NFSA inspectors based on a sample that will show the risk degree in the production, promotion and sale of products. Thus, the companies that will prove that they are reliable will be inspected rarer than those that pose a threat to the consumer market of Moldova.
NFSA secretor Ion Sula said that by this action plan they will assess the current situation in the field in Moldova, while specialists from district centers will be trained and informed about the European practices concerning high-quality products of animal and vegetal origins.
The action plan will be implemented by the end of November.
