This protocol, created by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
of the Basque Government, is included among the measures developed to
guarantee the safety of the agro-food products produced in the Autonomous Basque
Community.
The aim of the Protocol is to establish the procedures of competent authorities of the
Basque Autonomous Community in the field of animal food, livestock helath and the quality
of agro-food products in the case of agro-food alter situations. This Protocol aims to
coordinate the actions of the personnel involved in this work, in order to: |
|
|
|
 |
| - |
Adopt the measures required in the primary sector to prevent
agro-food products that might pose a risk for public health and the health of
livestock, from entering the food chain.
|
| - |
Adopt the measures required to tackle serious epizooties that
affect Animal Health.
|
| - |
Stop the distribution and sale of products processed, transformed
or packaged in the Autonomous Basque Community, of animals that represent a health
hazard for the public and/or livestock.
|
| - |
Inform industry, consumers, authorities and other entities involved
in the agro-food alert.
|
| - |
Avoid any unnecessary social alarm that might cause harm to the
production sectors of the food chain in the Basque Autonomous Community.
|
|
|
|
 |
In this sense, a computer tool has been developed in order to
speed up communications between the competent authorities and to reach a higher level of
efficiency in the management of agro-food alerts. |
