This event was aimed at anyone responsible for the compliance aspects of trading food. It contrasted the food safety regulatory and testing system in the European Union with those in other regions, underpinning World Trade Organisation rules. Expert advocates highlighted the strengths, weaknesses and specific requirements of two different regulatory approaches. Examples were given of the pitfalls of overlooking regulatory differences when trading internationally, and how these were overcome.
