Improvement of legislation, control and awareness in food safety, animal health and welfare and phytosanitary in Ukraine (ILCA III)

Service contract for technical assistance to the Government of Ukraine. The project aims to support the government of Ukraine in the adoption of EU acquis in the fields of food safety, animal health and welfare and phytosanitary. It will contribute to raise the capacities of both the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food (MAPF) and the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection (SSUFSCP) in designing and implementing key reforms in these sectors and enhance the functionality of Ukraine’s services, control and infrastructure system in a gradual alignment with relevant EU and other international standards. The project will notably continue supporting the approximation of Ukrainian legislation with EU legislation in sanitary and phytosanitary areas, build the risk assessment and control capacities of competent authority and contribute to the digitalisation of its services.
