Book excerpt: The Commission publishes an annual report on the operation of official controls in EU countries in the areas of food and feed safety, animal and plant health, animal welfare, pesticides, organic farming and quality schemes. This report is based on: the annual reports submitted by the national authorities on their official control activities; and the results of Commission controls carried out in EU countries. The Commission's report covers the years 2019 and 2020. It provides a compilation of comparable data into EU-wide statistics for 2020. These data will, over time, allow trends in controls and non-compliance issues to be identified. This staff working document accompanies the Commission's report and provides more details of the controls and audits carried out by national authorities and by the Commission in specific areas of the food chain.
