Coceral Annual Report

"COCERAL is the acronym for "Comité du Commerce des céréales, aliments du bétail, oléagineux, huile d'olive, huiles et graisses et agrofournitures" and is considered as the voice representing the European cereals, rice, feedstuffs, oilseeds, olive oil, oils and fats and agrosupply trade. The members of COCERAL are the national trade organisations of most of the EU-27 Member States, who for their part represent collectors, distributors, exporters, importers and agribulk storers of the above mentioned commodities. The members are composed of essentially private traders and in some countries also farmers' cooperatives. Furthermore, COCERAL has associate members in Switzerland."

"THE EU CONTEXT
Throughout the European Union customers expect safe food on their plate. Therefore the European Commission and the Member States have developed EU harmonized feed and food legislation in order to provide a transparent legal basis for EU producers and customers covering the food chain from the farm to the fork. Besides addressing feed safety this legislation aims at facilitating trade within the internal market by providing uniform requirements. The legislator invites the European feed producing sectors to develop European guides to good practice in order to provide guidance to the responsible operator on the implementation of these legal requirements and beyond.

THE EFISC INITIATIVE
The European code to good practice for the industrial manufacturing of safe feed materials (EFISC) was initiated as a shared commitment of the starch industry (AAF) and the oil and protein meal industry (FEDIOL). EFISC aims to provide an EU harmonised, voluntary feed safety assurance scheme for the feed materials industry. As such it will facilitate market demand in the ongoing globalisation of the feed chain.
The EFISC initiative started off with the European guide to good practice for the industrial manufacturing of safe feed materials, developed by the sector and endorsed by the European Commission and the EU Member States as of the 1st of July 2010. The European guide is available in all EU languages for ease of use. The document is available on the website www.efisc.eu. EFISC then turned the guide into a certifiable feed safety assurance scheme."

EFIP Symposium : "Contribution of Sector Guides and Certifiable Codes to Feed Safety in the EU"


"The European Feed Ingredients Platform (EFIP) is a voluntary platform of the major European feed ingredients representatives aiming at an EU wide harmonized understanding and implementation of the EU feed hygiene regulation.

Together, the different sectors and their companies share experience, cooperate and offer concerted guidance to their members and other stakeholders on the shared, non-competitive, issue of feed safety.

Such a harmonized approach strengthens the feed safety situation for the EU livestock industry, the feed chain and ultimately increases the confidence of the consumer in the EU 27. Furthermore, it facilitates trade within the EU internal market by providing uniform requirements.

Members
The EFIP members are the major European associations or federations representing the vast majority of feed materials and ingredients that enter the feed chain.

EFIP Chain Vision
The members of EFIP share the following key elements in their common vision on safety assurance in the feed chain:
• EFIP sees safe feed as a prerequisite for the success of livestock production in the EU
• EFIP builds on the work done by the EU legislator
• EFIP has a pan- European reach
• EFIP strives for EU harmonisation whilst respecting the specificities of its sectors
• EFIP aims at reducing the numerous audits in view of operational efficiency
• EFIP favours feed materials and ingredients sectors to develop tailor made safety rules

And therefore, on this basis, EFIP :
• invites other sectors to step up their efforts in EU harmonisation of safety rules
• calls for a dialogue amongst the various segments of the feed chain

EFIP members have developed EU harmonised feed safety management systems (Codes) based on European Guides. They contain the requirements for a management system, prerequisite programs and hazard analysis, according to the state-of-the-art practices in risk management. In addition, a third party certification system has been developed to make sure that the system will be uniform and consistently applied by the operators in the EU. The Codes can be used as a stand-alone document or integrated in a farm to fork chain approach."
