Member States report annually to the European Commission on the implementation and results of official controls. This document is the MANCP Annual Report for the Netherlands for 2019. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (Nederlandse Voedsel- en Warenautoriteit, NVWA) coordinates the MANCP and the drafting of the annual reports for the Netherlands. 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 these activities. In this 2019 report, the NVWA is still reporting on supervision and official controls as carried out in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 882/2004. The new Official Controls Regulation (Regulation (EU) No. 2017/625), which has a broader scope and contains new rules, entered into force on 14 December 2019. In consultation with the European Commission, it was decided that reporting on the last two weeks of 2019 based on the new Official Controls Regulation would be too complex and offer no added value. However, the next annual report will comply with the rules of the new regulation. The report for 2019 will therefore be the NVWA’s last MANCP annual report according to this format. Supervision 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) Supervision under Council Directive 2000/29/EC (plant health) is conducted by: • The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) • The Netherlands General Inspection Service for agricultural seeds and seed potatoes (NAK) • The Netherlands Inspection Service for Horticulture (Naktuinbouw) • The Flower Bulb Inspection Service (BKD) • The Quality Control Bureau (KCB) Supervision under Council Regulation (EC) No. 834/2007 (Organic Production and Products) is conducted by: • Skal Biocontrol Chapter 1, the management summary, sets out the key findings and conclusions with regard to the controls in 2019. 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 oversight, covering 19 (previously 20) different subjects. Section 3.10, Fish, fish products and aquaculture has been omitted in 2019, since the various results for this domain are reported in the Industrial production and Animal health – prevention domains. To facilitate a comparison with other years, the section numbering remains unchanged. Chapter 4 reports the conclusions from the internal and external audits conducted in 2019. Chapter 5 reports on the activities of the NVWA Intelligence and Investigation Service. Chapter 6 describes a number of developments in the organisations involved in carrying out the controls. The MANCP annual reports are available on the NVWA website. 2 CHAPTER 1 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY OF THE MANCP ANNUAL REPORT 2019 The NVWA’s strategy for 2020 focuses on the NVWA as a modern and future-proof authority with a knowledge-driven and risk-based approach. This means that where possible, official controls in 2019 were planned, prioritised and conducted on the basis of the estimated risks. 1.1 Relevant developments Merger of NVWA and Wageningen University & Research laboratories To support the modern and future-proof authority that the NVWA aspires to become, 2019 saw the formation of a new institute: Wageningen Food Safety Research (WFSR). This new institute is part of Wageningen University & Research and is the product of a merger of the NVWA Laboratory for Feed and Food Safety and RIKILT Wageningen University & Research. This merger of laboratories that share some tasks has resulted in a unique laboratory that is essential to the NVWA, as it will provide long-term, sustainable support in risk-based supervision and current and future policy for feed and food safety. The merger has also resulted in greater sample analysis capacity and thus greater flexibility to respond to incidents and crises. The laboratory now offers a sound knowledge base to provide timely support for the supervision process that is anchored in the scientific dynamics of Wageningen University & Research. The independence of the services provided by WFSR to the NVWA is guaranteed. This means that WFSR must be able to carry out NVWA assignments without interference by any other parties. The lab’s other activities also must not compromise the services provided to the NVWA. In specific terms, a number of rules therefore apply, including that WFSR must not carry out any activities for third parties (private companies or non-governmental organisations [NGOs]) unless the research offers clear added value in terms of food safety in the Netherlands and the laboratory’s accumulation of knowledge, in order to improve the support provided to the NVWA. New EURL tasks The new Official Controls Regulation (2017/625) imposes a requirement to assign European Union Reference Laboratories (EURLs). The aim of these EURLs is to improve the quality and comparability of test results from the national reference laboratories of the different Member States. These laboratories also provide scientific and technical support to the European Commission. In 2019, the National Reference Centre (NRC) of the NVWA was assigned EURL status for two areas of plant health, namely plant pathogenic bacteria and viruses. New EU regulations In 2019, the NVWA made significant effort in the implementation of the Plant Health Regulation and the Official Controls Regulation, in close collaboration with the relevant plant-related inspection agencies. There has been a considerable focus , while minimising loss of functionality, on how we can ensure now and in the future that the NVWA systems for automated import/export data processing are in line with the European Commission’s new reporting and notification system: the information management system for official controls (IMSOC). These existing functionalities are essential for the NVWA due to the huge volumes processed by the logistics chain in the Netherlands. 3 Skal placed a significant focus in 2019 on preparing for the implementation of the new European legislation on organic production, Regulation (EU) no. 2018/848, which will come into effect on 1 January 2021. However, as the production and control rules had not yet been published at the end of 2019, it was not yet possible to introduce new information material for organic businesses. It is also expected that Skal will need to adapt both its work processes and systems. 1.2 Key figures In 2019, the NVWA carried out over 136,000 inspections in total, excluding plant health inspections, which are listed in a separate table. This is virtually identical to the number of inspections in 2018, but significantly lower (around 8.7%) than in the years prior to 2018. The table below shows the number of inspections per area of supervision. number of inspections 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 (excluding plant health inspections)

Introduction 1 The number of commercial initiatives on origin food products (OPs), both new and traditional ones, and both artisanal and industrial, has gradually increased worldwide over the past 30 years, following the trend in the wine sector. Geographical indications have become an important issue in the WTO negotiations (Josling 2006; SINER-GI project - www.origin-food.org), and are the subject of a growing number of scientific publications, in particular articles that integrate formerly separated analyses of OPs in the fields of law, marketing, and rural sociology.
