Context of the project
BTSF is a European Commission training initiative to improve the knowledge and implementation of EU rules covering food and feed law, animal health and welfare, as well as rules on plant health and plant protection products. Training is an essential tool in order to improve the spreading of knowledge and awareness of EU law in the above-mentioned fields, and to promote a harmonised approach to the operation of EU and national control systems.
Approach for the project
This project is part of the initiative and had two main components: event management for the trainings, and design and delivery of the technical content of the trainings. The BTSF programme is designed predominantly to train staff of competent authorities of EU Member States involved in official control activities so as to keep them up to date with all aspects of EU law in the areas specified above and to ensure that controls are carried out in a more uniform, objective and adequate manner in all Member States.
It is also essential that non-EU countries and in particular developing countries are familiar with EU standards and import requirements. For this purpose, training organised for Member States in the EU is also available to participants from non-EU countries and specific training activities are organised for non-EU country participants on the spot.
Objective of the project
Cover the evaluation and authorisation procedures for plant protection products.
