Work programmes

Our annual work programme identifies the work priorities in context of identified risks, legal obligations and Commission priorities.

About work programmes

DG Health and Food Safety develops and publishes an annual work programme, which includes a detailed list of audits and other controls planned in the areas of food and feed safety, food quality, animal health, animal welfare, plant health and some areas of human health. Control priorities are identified following a careful process, based on legal obligations, risk posed in the sectors concerned and the Commission´s political priorities, in particular the Farm to Fork Strategy. As there might be changes to the programme due to availability of resources, changes in risks or emerging issues, an update of the list of planned controls for July to December is usually presented in June.

Abstract:

This document sets out the work programme of the European Commission's Directorate for Health and food audits and analysis for 2024. It contains the details of planned and demand driven controls in 2024 in the areas of food and feed safety, food quality, animal health, animal welfare, plant health and certain areas of human health. It also describes what other activities are planned in 2024, for example on the sustainable use of pesticides, Member State networks, and the Better Training for Safer Food programme. Finally, it outlines specific demand-driven controls such as on border control posts, medical device notified bodies, and the third country listings for exports to the EU.
