2Comment on progress in candidate country

The BC has not conducted specific trainings on ABP for inspectors recently.I don’t disagree but I know Slavica could have serious problems with the lawyers and the upcoming court case with this sentence. Would it be okay to rephrase and say what has been done related to trainings, see my suggestion, (I’ll ask Slavica for the number to fill in at the XX’s):

Trainings on the ABP area started in 2006 and they will be continued by this Twinning and by the VD:

-2006 CAP SERSA project financed by the Swiss government

-2007-2009 Twinning project on Food, ABP and Animal welfare

-NGO “Stanište” organised in 2011 and 2012 together with the Austrian Development cooperation, Central European Initiative and Serbian Fund for Environmental protection series of trainings for local municipalities representatives, ABP producers and veterinary inspectors

-In 2014 and 2015 xx local self-government representatives have been trained

-XX VD inspectors have participated and will continue participating in EU’s training program "Better Training for Safer Food" on the ABP area.

During the mission a training plan was agreed upon with the BC for future trainings of 25 specialist inspectors, please find enclosed the drafted training plan.

3Recommendations for future actions or STE missions

The STE’s would appreciate:

to receive fully translated versions of the Serbian checklists used for category 1 rendering plants, category 3 processing plants, pet food plants and intermediate plants storing and handling hides and skins to be able to connect the training program with them;
the RTA to arrange the handout information to be printed before the start of each training;
the BC to prepare the information on the National strategy on ABP and upgrading of ABP plants;
the BC to select 3 to 4 plants for the visit on day 2 of every training and arrange the visit;
to receive some background information on the plants that will be visited during the trainings on beforehand;
the appointed specialist inspectors attending the training to collect questions and cases they would like to discuss on day 3 of the training.

The STE’s would prefer the training missions to include enough time prior to day 1 of the training to arrange the division of tasks between them and practise the presentations and discussions to make all parts of the training program connect well together.

The training and (translated) info material could be used by the BC to set up their own training programafter the end of the twinning project.

4Details of any follow-up actions by STE

The STE’s will:

assign suitable trainers for each of the three training missions;
finish all training material and sent it to the RTA in order to be translated.
