The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (‘NVWA’) has simplified its unsafe food notification guidance document per 19 January 2024. It aims to help FBOs even better than the previous version of the guidance to determine when to notify NVWA. However, in practice the first criticism is that the threshold for notification is now much lower, which would increase the burden on FBOs by having to notify (and manage the communication with) the supervisor much more often. Some even report that the notification instruction would be in breach with the applicable provisions of EU-law regarding responsibilities of FBOs.

This research article aims at providing a preliminary assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on the EU agri-food sector between March and May 2020. To this end, an analysis of the policy and legislative measures adopted during this period at EU level is first provided. Then, national experiences of nine Member States – i.e. Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania and Spain – are described in detail, illustrating, for each country, the most relevant impacts and responses by competent authorities and stakeholders alike. Overall, whilst one can conclude that the EU agri-food sector has shown a high degree of resilience at the onset of the pandemic, the latter has nevertheless revealed its vulnerability to external threats and, with it, the need to guarantee a proper level of preparedness to ensure, in future, food security on the EU market during similar crisis.
