ANSA’s main regulatory initiatives:
- Simplifying the process of starting a business by introducing a notification system — eliminating the need for preliminary inspections or a large number of additional authorisation procedures for certain types of activities in the specified sectors.
- Regulation of the preparation and sale of food in domestic settings, including direct sales, home delivery, and participation in fairs and markets;
- Extending the simplified notification mechanism to certain types of activity in the HoReCa sector, depending on the level of associated risks.
- Facilitating domestic producers’ access to supplying products to schools and nurseries through more favourable terms of cooperation with these institutions (whilst strictly complying with food safety requirements, nutritional standards and public procurement rules).
- Simplifying the requirements for the transport of foodstuffs.
- Reducing the frequency of routine inspections for low-risk operators (based on a risk assessment).
- Adapting hygiene requirements to the scale and nature of operations to avoid unnecessary investment and red tape.
These proposals were developed, in particular, through direct dialogue with small-scale food producers, according to an ANSA report. At the same time, the simplification of procedures does not in any way imply a relaxation of food safety requirements. Operators will continue to be responsible for the hygiene, safety and traceability of the products they sell.
