32 Food and drinking water Norway has safer food and drinking water than most other countries in the world. Good animal health and a low level of infection regarding Norwegian livestock and Norwegian-produced food products are key reasons for Norway s good status. Results Food safety in Norway is generally good: Sustainable turnover and consumption Chemical substances in food Online purchases Consumer information High quality of drinking water: No solutions regarding reserve water Old wiring Future plans Follow up the work of waterworks owners More risk-based inspection Gather more knowledge about new forms of revenue Gather more knowledge about chemical substances Issue and update regulations and inspection regarding new marine species

33 Plants, fish and animals The feed used in aquaculture is experiencing teething problems, and this is affecting fish welfare and health. Good health in Norwegian plants and animals is put at risk when there is a rise in personal and commercial imports. Results Future plans Animal and plant health in Norway is good: An increase in imports increases the risk of disease Efforts to prevent chronic wasting disease (CWD) are on schedule The problems relating to the health and welfare of farmed salmon are still acute: Disease, high mortality rates, a lack of preparedness and salmon louse Take measures in aquaculture Raise awareness of infectious agents from other countries Implement new animal health legislation Monitoring programmes

34 Animal welfare and respect for animals Animal welfare is on the whole good, although this does not fully apply to all means of production or all animal husbandry. Results Most animals in Norway enjoy good living conditions: The use of stricter measures Unacceptable conditions regarding pigs for slaughter Rising number of cases where concerns have been reported Future plans Animal welfare Good collaboration with other actors Risk-based inspection

35 Quality and honesty It is important that the consumer is familiar with the quality and other properties of the products, and can make informed choices. Results Not good enough labelling The regulations for reporting cases concerning nutrition and health are not fully complied with Not good enough handling of fish Future plans Provide advice on labelling requirements Continue labelling checks Take part in international projects Collaborate with the Norwegian Fishermen s Sales Organization regarding the quality of seafood

36 Environmentally friendly production We must be aware of and acknowledge our ecological footprint and limit the amount of damage wherever possible. The UN s 17 Sustainable Development Goals apply to the whole of society, and many of these are linked to our social mission. Results Low consumption of pesticides Low consumption of medicines for animals Salmon louse on wild salmon remains a challenge Future plans Continue to be a pioneer country in plant, animal and fish welfare Reduce the incidence of salmon louse on wild salmon Provide advice on ecology

37 Contingency Our approach is to be vigilant and ready to manage incidents jointly Results No major national incidents Incidents managed on an ongoing basis New tools for managing incidents Nordic-Baltic contingency exercise Future plans Participate in the NATO Exercise Trident Juncture

38 Working methods Procure information and analyse conditions Development of regulations and international cooperation Supervision Communicate and advise Risk assessments (VKM/KI) important basis for decisionmaking Implementation of EEA regulations satisfactory Satisfactory supervision production We provide more advice OK programmes important for status and development Long-term and overall international plan Further development of forms of supervision Good collaboration with businesses and sectors Use of data Market access access to new markets New agreements solutions regarding supervision Plain language

39 Procure information and analyse conditions There are great opportunities to be had in making better use of the increasing amount of data that is available and in improving the quality of the data we ourselves produce. Results Future plans Risk assessments (VKM/KI) important basis for decision-making OK programmes important for status and development Use of data Describe the benefit to society Make better use of data Make better use of the expertise of research institutes

40 Regulatory work and international activities We implement our obligations under the EEA Agreement and we work well in coordination with others in various international forums. Our goal achievement for Norwegian exports is assessed as good, and we helped to reopen the Chinese market for the export of salmon. We are also well underway with streamlining and improving our working methods. Results Implementation of EEA regulations satisfactory Long-term and overall international plan Market access access to new markets Future plans Better overview of the regulations Simplify and improve hearings Better cross-coordination Meet international requirements

41 Supervision We are seeking to develop new working methods that are based on risk, classification, completion of inspection on the spot, supervision of conglomerates and chains, and more efficient and systematic use of one s own data and that of others. Results Satisfactory supervision production Further development of forms of supervision New agreements solutions regarding supervision Future plans Make more efficient use of data Risk-based Complete inspection on the spot Supervision of chains and conglomerates

42 Supervision production

43 Supervision production according to area of expertise Foodstuffs Drinking water Animals Fish health Import and export Border control By-products, intermediate goods etc

44 Communicating and advising We provide more advice than before, and are more successful at communicating with our consumers in a targeted way that also ensures we are understood. Results Future plans We provide more advice Good collaboration with businesses and sectors Plain language We will provide even more and better advice More targeted measures regarding communication

45 Utilisation of resources and productivity We are reducing further our utilisation of resources for administration and management. Results Planer More resources for our core activity More advice, information and communication We must continue increasing our utilisation of resources in the blue sector Satisfactory use of allocated funding Smileys have meant greater productivity in terms of supervision Increase the pace of development More resources for our core business Group-based solutions and office structure

46 Management and control Generally speaking, management and control of our activities are good, but internal control requires improvement and we need to develop measures for improvement Results Planer No serious failings in management No serious issues noted by the Office of the Auditor General of Norway The Livestock Register Fees Continuous improvement: Internal control Internal audit Evaluations ESA audits Security: overall ROS analyses, audits and review of documents More successful incorporation of risk management, security and quality in the running of our operations. Further develop systematic internal control and its documentation Security: ROS analysis privacy Detailed valuation

47 Future prospects We must adapt more quickly to change, and become more effective at achieving the best for society. We are taking more robust measures for development We are improving the collection and use of data We are improving tasks and services
