Public Consultation – The Cyprus Food Safety Authority Establishment Law Of 2024

In most EU Member States, the independent Food Safety Authorities operate effectively. In Cyprus, the food safety system is characterized by fragmented responsibilities regarding food safety, animal health and welfare, and plant health across various governmental departments belonging to different ministries.

The Ministry of Health seeks to end the scattering of services dealing with food safety by placing all under one umbrella, the umbrella of the Cyprus Food Safety Authority, with the main goal of coordinating and controlling the effectiveness of Cyprus’s food safety system.

For this reason, “The Cyprus Food Safety Authority Establishment Law of 2024” has been put up for public consultation. This law will govern the establishment, mission, powers, and responsibilities of the Authority. Additionally, it will define the organizational structure of the Authority to fulfill its mission and responsibilities.
