ANNEX
Work programme for 2014 on information technology tools in the field of food safety, animal health, animal welfare and plant health
1.
INTRODUCTION
This work programme includes implementing measures for the year 2014. On the basis of the objectives given, the distribution of budget for the procurements implemented in direct management is the following, for a total amount of EUR 11 191 000.
2.
PROCUREMENT
2.1.
IT projects to support the functioning of the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF), register of food contact materials, genetically modified food and feed (GMOs), novel foods, flavourings, enzymes and nutrition and health claims
The action to be financed under this budget aims to finalise the implementation and the maintenance of the Generic Rapid Alert System (GRAS) IT application, which has been deployed for use in 2011, and of the latest version of the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (thereafter ‘RASFF’), also deployed in 2011. The use of the same IT platform by the various alert systems managed by the Commission facilitates the exchange of information between these systems and improves the manageability from an IT perspective.
The RASFF IT application needs to be developed further on two main accounts: (i) regional levels in countries to accommodate better the large Member States or those Member States with federal or confederal models; and (ii) building external links with other information systems in the food controls (e.g. Trade Control and Expert System (TRACES)) and public health ((e.g. Early Warning and Response System (EWRS)) areas.
In order to have an informed view on non-authorised substances and support the RASFF, it is necessary to maintain registers with authorised substances (food contact materials, novel food, GM food and feed, GMOs, flavourings, enzymes and nutrition and health claims).
The capacity to deal with tracking of incriminated foodstuffs during multinational investigations of outbreaks of foodborne pathogens has to be provided with an extra tool for tracing/back and forward exercises.
Planned actions:
— contribution to the maintenance and development of RASFF: EUR 330 000,
— development of the country regional level and improvements to RASFF: EUR 415 000,
— additional development to improve the performance of the RASFF sector application, including specifications for external system's links: EUR 315 000,
— register of authorised food contact materials, novel food, GM food and feed, GMOs, flavourings and enzymes: EUR 359 000,
— novel foods: development of a new version of the register (based on existing software): EUR 362 000,
— maintenance of a Union register for nutrition and health claims: EUR 137 000,
— tool and application support for tracing back and forward of foodstuffs for outbreak investigations: EUR 150 000.

IT projects to support the implementation of plant health measures, EUROPHYT
EUROPHYT is a Web-based application for Member States to notify interceptions of consignments that do not comply with plant health requirements. During a meeting with all Member States’ representatives for EUROPHYT, a plan for the renewal of the interface has been adopted. The EUROPHYT system uses central resources and resources from the GRAS application that need to be provided and maintained.

2.3.
IT project supporting the functioning of the common catalogues of varieties of agricultural plants, vegetables, vine and fruit plants and the Community list of approved basic material for the production of forest reproductive material
The ‘Common catalogue’ application manages the catalogues of varieties of agricultural plants (Directive 2002/53/EC) and vegetables (Directive 2002/55/EC) of which the seeds are not subject to any restriction with regard to their commercialisation within the European Union, as well as in Norway, Iceland and Switzerland.
A catalogue of varieties of vine (Directive 68/193/EEC) and a common list of varieties of fruit plants (Directive 2008/90/EC) and on forest reproductive material (Directive 1999/105/EC) may also be established.
A database provides for the management of these catalogues by the Commission, for access by the Member States and the electronic data exchange between the Member States, the Commission and the Publications Office.
In 2014, the maintenance of the system will be ensured, and the technological functionalities will be updated in order to adapt the system to more up-to-date developments in electronic publication: EUR 85 000.
For the Community list of approved basic material for the production of forest reproductive material, a semantic model is being established to make content accessible and searchable through semantic technology: EUR 275 000.
