Article Abstract:

There were 92 applications for investment aid in 1997, totalling FFr 1.3bn, but only 59 were accepted (64.1% compared with 71.3% in 1996, and the accepted applications totalled FFr 833mn. The amount allocated for the work accepted was half that of 1996, and the aid rate dropped from 7.8% in 1996 to 6% of the amount in 1997. At the European level, 259 applications were examined, for a total of FFr 3.4bn and 219 were selected for FFr 1.7bn. The aid rate came to 18.5% of the total amount for accepted applications, with 12% to 25% differences by sector. In the dairy industry, the seven applications accepted involved bring the unit up to sanitary standards, and the modernisation of cheese production plants. Among the applications which were rejected, some of them did not enter the field of the sectorial plan, such has boosting raw milk production or an AOC product, because they were not innovative and did not have good self-financing capacity. In the poultry domain, the six products selected concerned mainly improvement in productivity, and the quality of products. In the processed vegetable sector, the 11 applications accepted were for innovative or upmarket regional products for which outlets exist. Of the 12 fish processing projects presented those concerning frozen ready meals or fish based processed products.

Les IAA europ ennes veulent des m thodes officielles d'analyse des OGM

Article Abstract:

On 3 June 1998, the European food industry issued a press release indicating its satisfaction concerning the labelling for food products which contain GMO (genetically modified organisms). However, the industry asks that the phrase indicating that the product contains no genetically modified organisms be used under strict conditions and that products made from traditional agricultural products be dispensed from labelling if their GMO content is below a certain level. The industry is going to try to inform consumers about the advantages of biotechnology and to help them understand the labelling. It also wants official GMO detection methods to be set up and it wants that oils, starch hydrolysate, and protein hydrolysate which contain no proteins or DNA be exempted from labelling.
