Conference Maps out the Way Forward for the Continuing Globalization of the EurepGAP Standard
in Fruit and Vegetables, Flower and Ornamentals, Integrated Farm Assurance, Integrated Aquaculture Assurance, (Green) Coffee
Nearly 300 delegates from 41 Countries representing all Continents of
the Globe were able to participate in a unique opportunity to influence
the future direction and content of the EurepGAP Standard at EurepGAPs
7th Conference in Prague on 20/21 September.
In a highly participative approach future proposals for the standard for the 2007 version were discussed at roundtables and a wide range of minuted suggestions were made which will now be taken forward for further evaluation in the Technical and Standards Committee.
In a plenary session EurepGAP Secretary Kristian Moeller outlined the Board’s plans to respond to our members requests to see EurepGAP operate as a truly harmonised and globally relevant Good Agricultural Practice standard. These included additional measures to support the international application of the standard by working more closely with accreditation and certification bodies.
At the end of the Conference Nigel Garbutt, Chairman, said “We set out to openly consult with our members and wider stakeholders about the revised protocol and to share our plans in a transparent way for the future operation of the standard. I believe we have succeeded in those objectives and we look forward to continuing along the journey towards global harmonisation with all our members, stakeholders and partners both present and future.”
