- The challenge
- The Nordic countries, NCM and NICe are all
running research and innovation programmes on
food. The food safety aspect of these research
program-mes are however fragmented and the
funding is both insufficient and sub optimal. -
- The suggested solution
- 1) A coordinated response towards this challenge
by improving co-ordination - of the national/regional programmes through
networking. - 2) However, Food Safety is a global challenge,
too large to be met by the - Nordic countries acting alone.
3The Background of the Staircase
2004 ERA-NET SAFEFOODERA
2003 ERA-NET PERIAPT
2003 ERA-NET PROFORSAFE
2002 NRA-NET Processing for food safety
1993 NRA-NET NordFood
4Global Marked
5- 35 million cases of food poisoning within the
EU each - year, unknown number of deaths (population
480 million) - 76 million illnesses and 5000 deaths in US each
year - (population 268 million)
- One-third of the populations of developed
countries may - be effected by food borne illness each year
- Only a fraction of outbreaks is reported

establish a European platform for protecting
consumers against health from the consumption of
food through a co-ordination action ERA-NET of
15 Member States, 3 Associated Countries and 3
regional organisations representing in total
450 million European citizens

21ERA-NET This could take the form of a Community
top-up for joint calls of proposals (to the tune
of 30 of total costs, provided a number of
conditions are satisfied), where participating
entities create a common fund for the purpose of
the action. As such, the ERA-NET mechanism,
which will remain a simple and flexible
coordination mechanism between national or
regional research programmes, could become a more
effective bridge toward..
