| Welcome to the second edition of the regulatory policy newsletter - In the Open. We have now gone digital and the 2nd edition of the newsletter has now been published on our website. EU Exit
The Food Standards Agency's (FSA) planning for EU exit aims to ensure that there are effective regulations in place and that upon exit there is an effective regulator.
The FSA's proposed plans seek to ensure that from the date the UK leaves the EU food safety is maintained and the interests of consumers, industry and other stakeholders are protected. For more background and information on future work, please follow the link. Active Management Systems in Classified Shellfish Harvesting Waters  Active Management Systems (AMS) involve the use of models to predict high pollution events, during such periods harvesting and sampling would cease, until predicted high levels subside. For more information on the FSA commissioned study to determine what data is needed to form an effective model and next steps click on this link below. |
Details of legislation (Statutory Instruments) made for Wales.
| Operation OPSON is a global initiative jointly coordinated by Europol-INTERPOL focusing on counterfeit and substandard food, and the organized crime networks behind this illicit trade. Partners in Wales and Northern Ireland decided to focus their month long activity for OPSON VI on food supplements. For more information on OPSON in Wales and the prosecutions that have been taken as a result of this work see link below | |  |
Consulting with stakeholders on existing and developing polices and regulation is a vital part of the Agency's work and one that we continuously try to adapt to better meet stakeholders needs. These are all the ways we consult with stakeholders through our website.
 | | The manual serves as a reference document for the wide range of food standards legislation for which the Food Standards Agency has responsibility in force in Wales and the associated codes of practice and relevant guidance notes. The intention is that the manual will give authorised officers an overview of the legislation and interpretation while giving some insight to the practical applications of its enforcement and identify other sources of useful information. Although the manual has been produced primarily for enforcement officers it can also be used as a guidance or reference document for food business operators. |
