3 SELAMAT started as an EU project in 2004 Founders: Dr. H.J.P. Marvin (RIKILT); Overall coordinator Prof Dr. Y. Peng (IPP-CAAS) Prof Dr. J. Gilbert (CSL) Prof. Dr. M. Carrondo (ibet) Period: Aug 2004-July 2008 Budget: 597,000 EU contribution

4 SELAMAT objectives The overall aim: To create a permanent network for international cooperation on food safety issues between Europe and ASEM. This network aimed at: Promoting European and Asian collaboration on food safety issues Contributing to opening up the European Research Area Mobilising the European and Asian Research Communities to support Community and Asian foreign and development policies Developing of a common research agenda and initiate joint initiatives

5 SELAMAT activities Set up the network Organise one workshop per year Organise one course on food safety per year Set up a web based transfer point for food safety standards/ regulation Develop a common research agenda Initiate joint research

6 SELAMAT: Highlights SELAMAT organised annually 1-2 workshops on food safety and organised training courses SELAMAT developed a highly visible Food Safety Legislation Portal Pesticides Contaminants Veterinary Drugs Food Additives

7 SELAMAT: Food Safety sustainable network EU-ASEM Food Safety Platform with the following characteristics: Direct access to top experts on many expertise fields in EU and Asia Influence in research agenda setting Easy access to outcomes of EU framework programs and ASEM counterpart Means to extend existing network Discuss sensitive information informally

8 SELAMAT: Food Safety sustainable network SELAMAT became sustainable in 2008 SELAMAT keeps running the Food Safety Legislation Portal SELAMAT initiated 2 new international projects on Food Safety

9 Conclusions The format developed within SELAMAT for workshops and training courses has been highly successful High exposure has been achieved SELAMAT has become a sustainable network SELAMAT products are highly appreciated SELAMAT network grows into global dimensions

14 Emerging food safety risks: a global assessment Emerging food risks Accidently Naturally Fraud or acts of malevolance Collation of expert opinion of global stakeholders regarding emerging risks was performed in project GO- GLOBAL

15 Methodology used: Delphi technique A procedure to: obtain the most reliable consensus of opinion of a group of experts by a series of intensive questionnaires interspersed with controlled opinion feedback Dalkey & Helmer, 1963, p458 Some characteristics of Delphi method: Internet based with several rounds Number of rounds may vary Anonymous Shows issues of consensus Wentholt, M.T.A., Fischer, A.R.H., Rowe, G., Marvin, H.J.P., & Frewer, L.J. (2010). Food Control, 21;

16 Overview of the GO-GLOBAL Delphi study Qualitative (English only) Identification of relevant issues and methods. Round 1 49 participants Quantitative (Spanish, Portuguese, French and English) Seek for consensus and disagreement within the identified issues and methods. Round participants (60 countries, all continents) Round 3 98 participants (39 countries, all continents) Overview of results, conclusions and, recommendations. Report

17 Results of the GO-GLOBAL Delphi (round 1) First round Delphi 49 returned questionnaires with usable data Global response Language: English Emerging risk definition needed Issues of importance for global society Climate change Increased disease prevalence Development of technology War and terrorism Economic depression

22 Conclusions from the Colla4Safety global Delphi survey on food safety ( ) Demographic change, economic driving forces, resource shortages and environmental driving forces were identified as the primary drivers of both existing and emerging food safety risks Individual drivers do not increase or decrease specific food safety risks. Rather each driver has impacts on multiple risks From: Kendall et al. 2015

23 Conclusions from the Colla4Safety global Delphi survey on food safety ( ) Geographical differences in the impacts of specific drivers on food safety risks were recognised. The drivers of food safety were assessed to have the greatest impacts in Africa compared to other continents A systems approach to identifying, managing and mitigating food safety risks may represent a more useful policy tool From: Kendall et al. 2015
