Dear Friends ,
the University of Florence (LRE-EGO-CreaNET) would like to inform you that in collaboration with TUSCANY REGION in Italy we would search for partners on the Priority - IP PROGRAM on " QUALITY AN SECURITY OF
FOOD"-
Cod. Identity -FP6-2002-FOOD 1 Call EU-17-Apr.2002 -Dead-Line. 15 Apr.2003 > See: http://www.cordis.lu/fp6/food.htm - primary evaluation 6 MARCH 2002. Sector : 5..4. 4. TRACEABILITY of the FOOD CHAIN .
The principal objective will be to increase the consumer confidence in
in the safety protection of the food supply traceability would like to present a program on FOOD TRACEABILITY The request of the FP-6 R&D Program on FOOD TRACEABILITY are the following: Traceability processes all along the production chain The objective is to strengthen the scientific and technological basis for ensuring complete traceability for instance of genetically modified organisms, including those based on recent biotechnology developments from raw material origin to purchased food products, and thereby increase consumer confidence in the food supply. Research will focus on: development, validation and harmonization of technologies and methodologies to ensure complete traceability throughout the food chain; scale-up, implementation and validation of methods in whole food chains; assurance of authenticity; validity of labeling; application of HACCP to the whole food chain."
Now a days the partnership of "TRACE-FOOD" FP-6 Program , is composed by , the Tuscany Region, Department of Development and Innovation <s.sorbi@mail.regone.toscana.it> and University of Florence in Italy <LRE@UNIFI.IT> , the Bulgarian Industrial Association ; Martin Stoyanov <martin@bia-bg.com>, the Otley College, Suffolk IP6 9EY, David Tolliday <djtolliday@otleycollege.ac.uk>, and probably some other partners.
The above partner team belong also to the LEONARDO 2002 Project on Traceability Processes , with the main goal to increase consumer confidence in the "Food Supply Management" .see: : http://www.edscuola.com/archivio/lre/ogm2.html ) http://www.programmaleonardo.net/leo2/leonardo2.htm
Now we search to assemble a critical mass of skilled resources supporting within a FP-6 Program the integration of EU research & development Centers with Industry in the Sector : 5..4. 4. TRACEABILITY of the FOOD CHAIN See:
http://www.forfas.ie/sti/pdfs/fp6_priority5_food_quality_bruno_hansen.pdf
Therefore the LRE/EGO-CreaNET of the University of Florence search for complemented partners that will be able to co-operate with the previous partnership for:
- Development, validation and harmonization of technologies and methodologies to ensure traceability throughout characteristic regional or local foods chains to enhance the quality and safety of
those productions
- Scale-up and validation of methods in whole food chain from raw materials to purchased foods , at the European extended level aiming to support the development of "Research Innovation Policies for strengthening the ERA program..
Research studies and best practices diffusion on critical point in
safe promotion and environmental protection management with a particular attention to the following issues: assurance of authenticity of declared origins ; validity of labeling ; biotechnological tools in HACCP to the food Chain utilization; to ensure the exclusion of specified high-risk and condemned materials from the food chain, and to guarantee the separation between biological products and GMO products in the global market.
As a matter of facts the LRE-EGO-CreaNET of the University of Florence
, would like to enlarge the partnership up to six European countries with about 12 partners and to extend the collaboration as "stakeolders network" to the <TRACE-FOOD> program at international level. - The Tuscany Region will get the opportunity to cover about the 25% //
30% of the entire Business Plan .
Sincerely I am very grateful about your partnership and also for any possible data dissemination and network partnership's formation of <TRACE-FOOD FP6- Program>
I am looking for your kind reply .
Having an Happy new Year .
My best regards and cordiality's Paolo Manzelli -- Director of LRE // EGO-CreaNET
