"The food case", a conference supported by the Greens & the European Free Alliance (Greens/EFA) was held in the European Parliament on 18th September 2003.
The aim of the conference was to explore a strategy for consumer protection, and discuss how to improve the quality of food in Europe.
There was great emphasis that quality meant more than hygiene, but rather the culture of food.
The four themes for discussion were:
The precautionary principle or liability - two strategies for consumer protection.
Process control as a model for food safety.
The struggle for sustainable market shares.
Fair trade of free trade.
This conference was attended by Binal Nathwani.
