Member States report to the European Commission through an annual report on the implementation and results of official controls. This document is the MANCP Annual Report for the Netherlands for 2017. The MANCP annual report describes the official controls in the areas of food safety, animal health, animal welfare, animal feeds, phytosanitary matters and organic production. In the Netherlands, a range of organisations are involved in producing this report. Monitoring under Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 is conducted by: • the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA); • the Netherlands Controlling Authority for Milk and Milk Products (COKZ); • the Netherlands Controlling Authority for Eggs (NCAE), a department of the COKZ; • GD Animal Health (GD). Monitoring under Council Directive 2000/29/EC (plant health) is conducted by: • the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA); • the Dutch General Inspection Service for Agricultural Seed and Seed Potatoes (NAK); • the Netherlands Inspection Service for Horticulture (Naktuinbouw); • the Flower Bulbs Inspection Service (BKD); • the Quality Control Bureau (KCB). Monitoring under Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 (Organic Production and Products) is conducted by: • Skal (Stichting Skal biocontrole). The NVWA coordinates the MANCP and the drafting of the annual report for the Netherlands. The first chapter sets out the key findings and conclusions with regard to the controls in 2017 (Executive Summary). Chapter 2 deals with the key figures in the area of enforcement within the food supply chain. Chapter 3 contains the reports for the various areas of monitoring, covering 20 different subjects. The next two chapters report the conclusions from the internal and external audits conducted in 2017 (Chapter 4) and the activities of the NVWA Intelligence and Investigation Service (Chapter 5). The final chapter describes a number of developments in the organisations involved in carrying out the monitoring. The MANCP annual reports are available on the NVWA website (in Dutch and English). 3 4 CHAPTER 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE MANCP ANNUAL REPORT 2017 The 2017 Annual Report relates to the MANCP that was prepared in 2011 for the period 2012–2016, and the multi-annual enforcement operations plan 2014–2018. 1. Key figures In 2017, more than 147,000 inspections were conducted in total; this figure is stable in relation to 2016. The table below shows the number of inspections per area of monitoring.

Effectiveness of the controls Measurement of the effectiveness of controls is performed by the inspection services through specific projects. Projects such as the “Meat Supply Chain Improvement Plan”, “Copper in Pig Feed” and “Compliance Monitor for Red Meat Slaughterhouses and Poultry Slaughterhouses” provide greater insight into compliance by a specific target group or groups and the effectiveness of official controls. In 2017, work was carried out in some domains on target group analyses and the development of monitoring strategies in anticipation of impact assessments. 5 3. Analysis of the findings Animal health In 2017, highly pathogenic avian influenza was detected on one commercial poultry farm and two non-commercial poultry farms. One commercial poultry farm was affected by low pathogenic avian influenza. Mandatory monitoring for zoonotic Salmonella on breeding and laying poultry farms identified 31 farms where contamination was detected in one or more sheds. In 2017, 86 reports of psittacosis were received, of which 31 related to suspected cases in birds and 55 were made by the Municipal Health Service in relation to human patients in whom a psittacosis infection had been established. In further investigations into 68 suspected cases of tuberculosis, partly as a result of a large tracing investigation stemming from a single index farm, no confirmed cases of bovine tuberculosis were found. Improvement plans in this area have resulted in more effective monitoring and enforcement. Better preparation of controls facilitates risk-based inspection and earlier identification of any deficiencies. Good coordination with the business community can lead to more and practical communication about legislation. This ensures a greater level of support and ultimately better compliance. Animal welfare Every year, the NVWA carries out animal welfare inspections on farms and reports on compliance. The NVWA carries out inspections for compliance with the standards laid down in the European directives on the protection of pigs, laying hens, chickens kept for meat production, calves and animals kept for farming purposes, as well as the Dutch legislation on animal welfare. Areas for improvement have been identified for all animal species. In the area of animal welfare, with regard to the killing of animals and associated activities, an enforcement project was completed in poultry slaughterhouses in relation to the mechanical “tipping” of live, non-stunned poultry onto conveyor belts. In seven slaughterhouses, this action was deemed to be too rough. Appropriate action was taken. Animal feed Registrations and approvals remain a key focus, along with compliance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 183/2005, since these form the necessary basis for risk-based monitoring. Compliance in relation to labelling, the submission of health claims and trade via the Internet require corresponding enforcement efforts. The sector responds to incidents and reports by assuming responsibility for tracing and the prevention of further spreading. The outcomes of the Copper in Pig Feed project showed that the new enforcement approach, involving the use of targeted enforcement communications, has produced good results. Animal by-products With regard to establishments creating animal by-products, compliance is good in the dairy industry and among primary establishments. At red and white meat slaughterhouses, compliance varies from moderate to reasonable. This remains a key point requiring attention for this sector. Traceability inspections and securing supply streams continue to be priorities in the monitoring of approved and registered establishments. An investigation into the fats supply chain in 2017 found that the traceability of products in storage companies requires further attention. Meat Stricter and more uniform monitoring of slaughterhouses has resulted in a significant increase in the number of written enforcement measures (four times as many as in 2014). The majority of the measures were imposed on poultry slaughterhouses. The task now is to encourage companies to comply spontaneously (and not solely after the detection of a breach and consequent enforcement), using the appropriate enforcement instruments. Meat products and composite products The number of industrial establishments subject to the “more stringent monitoring” strategy has remained reasonably stable in recent years. The percentage of irregularities uncovered during inspections on microbiological criteria continues to be high: 39% of the establishments are not in compliance with the requirements set out in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005.

Signature of Candidate ______ ________________________________________________ Print name: Suruchi Pradhan ____________________________________________________________ 2 Abstract Iodine is an essential trace mineral. Iodine deficiency during pregnancy can lead to adverse postnatal consequences such as impaired mental development, reduced intelligence scores and impaired motor skills in the offspring of the deficient women (Khazan et al., 2013, Rayman et al, 2008). There is growing evidence in the UK of low dietary iodine intakes and potential iodine deficiency in vulnerable populations (pregnant women and women of child bearing age group) (Rayman and Bath, 2015, Vanderpump et al., 2011) and a paucity of information on the iodine content of food products. In developing countries where iodine deficiency is widespread, salt has successfully been used as a vehicle for iodine fortification, however iodised salt is not widely available in UK supermarkets and there are valid health concerns about promoting salt intake.

  • The Cheese Markets of the Netherlands by Lee Foster
    The Cheese Markets of the Netherlands by Lee Foster Few experiences satisfy the person who savors food and drink more than a journey to the source, the place where a favorite wine, cheese, or fruit is produced. The encounter imparts a knowledge of terrain and an appreciation of techniques used to make the prized food or drink. No book can teach this experience; no number of trips to the local delicatessen or bottle shop can equal it. For the appreciator of cheese, Dutch cheese is one of the gustatory glories of the Netherlands. The place to start is a good cheese store in Amsterdam. Beyond Amsterdam, you can visit the cheese markets at Alkmaar and at Gouda. You can also visit a cheese-making farm, Clara Maria, near Amsterdam. Details can be easily arranged by the Netherlands Board of Tourism office, www.holland.com. Cheese Shops in Amsterdam Cheese shops in Amsterdam, such as Abraham Kef’s, 192 Marninxstraat, are the places to make your first encounter with Dutch cheeses. At Kef’s you can make a tasting ceremony of cheese and wine. First, try a slice of Gouda, which is 60 percent of all the cheese produced in the Netherlands. Half of this Gouda is exported, making the Dutch one of the world’s largest exporters of cheese. Ask for a piece of Young Gouda, about three months old, which is imported to the U.S. labeled Young or Mild Gouda. Most Goudas are whole milk cheeses with a fat content of 48 percent. The Young Gouda has a creamy, buttery taste.

  • Cheese in the European Union
    Cheese in the European Union The EU produced 10.5 m t (million tonnes) of cheese in 2019 EU cheese production 2009-2019 m t 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Source: Eurostat Types of cheese produced in EU Fresh Soft Semi soft Hard Blue Within these broad categories there is a lot of variation in colour, texture, consistency and taste. How long the cheese is aged for, and under what conditions, is key to the final outcome. For example, some cheeses are wrapped in cloth and left to mature in caves, others are repeatedly washed with brine or alcohol (washed-rind or smear-ripened), while others are sealed in wax. Various bacteria can be introduced during production to give the cheese a soft, bloomy rind (like Camembert), or air holes known as ‘eyes’ (as with Danish Harvati), or green-blue veins (such as French Roquefort or Italian Gorgonzola). These latter two cheeses have been granted a Protected Designation of Origin (or PDO) under an EU quality scheme for food and wine, aimed at protecting traditional production processes and unique regional products. There is also a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), which emphasises the unique geographical origin of a cheese or other foodstuff. The type of milk used also influences the final flavour of cheese 2% 2% 4% Cow’s milk: 9,658 m t (92% of total cheese production) Sheep milk: 231 m t (2% of total cheese production) Goat milk: 203 m t (2% of total cheese production) Other (buffalo and mixed milks): 444 m t 92% (4% of total cheese production) Source: Eurostat • Cow’s milk is mild, sweet and creamy – 92% of the EU’s cheese is made from pure cow’s milk • Sheep milk is more tangy and grassy – just over 2% of EU cheese is made from pure sheep milk • Goat milk has the most ‘farmyard’ aroma and taste – just under 2% of EU cheese is made from pure goat milk • 4% Cheeses made from ‘other’ milks make up the remaining 4% of EU cheeses, such as buffalo or even reindeer milk, or a mixture of milks.

  • EU Quality Schemes: Market Potential for Fresh and Processed Products
    International comparison of product supply chains in the agri-food sector: determinants of their competitiveness and performance on EU and international markets WORKING PAPER N 8, September 2014 EU Quality Schemes: market potential for fresh and processed products Edited by Cornelia-Florentina Alboiu, Dan-Marius Voicilas Abstract The working paper provides an analysis of “new markets” in selected EU countries. The recent situation, development as well as challenges and tendencies on the markets for products produced and processed according to the EU quality schemes (organic products, protected designation of origin (PDO), protected geographical indication (PGI), and traditional specialties guaranteed (TSG)) will be discussed in the paper in order to identify the market potential for those products. In particular, several case studies of specific EU markets are included. There are wide variations across the EU as to the size of the current market and likely future potential for organic food as well as PDI and PGO products. Of the countries considered, geographical indications are most developed in Italy, but remain of peripheral importance in some established (e.g. UK) and new member states (e.g. Romania). In some countries, were the local market is restricted by low purchasing power, development of the organic sector relies solely on export sales (e.g. Serbia). In established member states the situation of the organic sector has been rather mixed. In Germany sales continue to grow, albeit at a slower rate than in the mid-2000s, while the UK experienced a sharp downturn after 2008. The results of our analysis show that the market was heavily influenced by EU policy (especially by financial support) and the global crisis.
