CEI Consultation on the European Technology Platform Food for Life Bratislava, st September 2006 Background: European Technology Platforms are industry-led, public/private partnerships which aim to unite stakeholder communities in support of a long-term, programme of research, communication, training and knowledge transfer which will stimulate and underpin European innovation

Bratislava, st September 2006 Mr Miroslav Jureňa, Minister of Agriculture of the Slovak Republic Dr Jürgen Lucas [European Commission] C/E European [and Newly Independent State] partners were described by Dr Dóra Groó [Hungary] Dr András Sebők [Hungary], a Board member of the ETP, described the relevance of the platform to industry, researchers, policymakers and consumers across C/E Europe. The ETP must address the aims, aspirations and opportunities of all these stakeholders within countries and across the region. Professor Peter Raspor [Slovenia], there was consideration of national food platforms that had been established in Austria, Hungary, Italy and Poland as a direct consequence of the ETP. Professor Roger Fenwick [UK] responded on behalf of the ETP to many of the points made during the meeting. It was true that the ETP was not yet as representative as it should be across Europe; however, it was committed to improving this situation.

There was a discussion on what were the aims of these platforms and it was agreed that these would depend on the particular circumstances of the countries concerned. It was considered that added value would be achieved by networking these platforms so that experience and best practice could be exchanged. This network would also serve to support other countries [such as Ukraine and Romania] that were planning to establish national platforms, and also to facilitate communication [a] between stakeholders at national level, and [b] between the national platforms and the ETP. Dr Kitti Németh would be the link between the national platforms and the ETP and would initially chair this network.

PROJECT Ukrainian Initiative for Development of European Technology Platform Ukrainian Technology Platform Safe Food and Healthy Life The main problem is that up to now in Ukraine we have not yet developed a well-structured network between all Food Research and Education Institutions, Customer Service Agencies, Agricultural Universities, National Universities, Manufacture Plants, Food Additives Registration Institutions, etc. We are now at the very beginning of the process to join the EU in this domain. Nowadays, based on the experiences of other EU countries, Ukraine is developing its own Ukrainian Technology Platform…
