Ministers approved the establishment of a National Food Council. It will be a permanent advisory body that will coordinate government policy in the food sector.
The newly established body will include representatives of all stakeholders. A procedure for registration and approval of all production sites is envisaged.
The newly established body will coordinate state policy in the food sector in the strictest way. The conditions and the order for carrying out activities on food banking and food donations, the registration of the vehicles for transportation of food of non-animal origin, etc. will be monitored.
The practice of control has so far proved to be extremely unsuccessful. The size of the sanctions imposed turned out to be too small. Manufacturers and traders create too much danger when committing their violations.
That is why it is planned to increase the sanctions that are imposed in case of violation of the provisions of food safety legislation. The expected results are greater efficiency in the implementation of the regulations, as well as increased security for the end user.
