Food control system assessment tool: dimension C: interactions with stakeholders

Overview

Dimension C identifies the interactions that must take place for the system to regularly adjust to national and international stakeholders’ evolving needs, inspire confidence for stakeholders and to keep them well informed about their responsibilities. Dimension C consists of five competencies under two sub-dimensions which are Domestic Stakeholders, and International Stakeholders.

C.1. Domestic Stakeholders focuses on the transparency of communication to consumers and on the Food Business Operators (FBOs) and their integration into the food control system.

C.2. International Stakeholders explores the interactions of competent authorities at the international level to support national imports and exports, and the participation and engagement of competent authorities in International Organizations to benefit from international expertise and to shape national legislation.
