New EU Rules on the Country of Origin Labelling for Meat of Swine, Sheep, Goats and Poultry
On 13 December 2013, the European Commission adopted Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1337/2013 laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the indication of the country of origin or place of provenance for fresh, chilled and frozen meat of swine, sheep, goats and poultry (hereinafter, the implementing regulation).
The new EU rules introducing country of origin labelling (hereinafter, COOL) for fresh, chilled and frozenmeat of pork, sheep, goat and poultry received a qualified majority vote of EU-Member States in the Standing Committee on Food Chain and Animal Health (Section: General food law, hereinafter the SCoFCAH) on 5 December 2013. After no agreement was found on a vote in the meeting of the SCoFCAH on 28 November 2013, EU Member States finally reached a compromise over the length of rearing time needed for pork. According to Agence France-Presse (AFP) sources, Poland and Sweden rejected the final compromise, while Belgium and the Czech Republic and Romania abstained from voting.

Das Schweizer Chemikalienrecht: Die aktuelle Revision der Chemikalienverordnung und künftige Herausforderungen
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (10/2022)
Die Schweiz istMitglied derVereintenNationen (UN) und der Organisation für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (OECD), jedochweder derEuropäischenUnion(EU) noch des EuropäischenWirtschaftsraums (EWR). Sie hatmit Ausnahme des Zulassungsverfahrens von Biozidprodukten und der Guten LaborPraxis (GLP) auch keine vertraglich festgelegte Zusammenarbeit mit der EU im Bereich Chemikaliensicherheit. 1 Verglichenmit der EU(447'700'000 Einwohnerinnen2) ist die Schweiz istmit ihren 8'700'000 Einwohnerinnen relativ klein;3,4 jedenfalls zu klein, um eine komplett eigenständige Chemikalienpolitik zu verfolgen und ein umfassendes
risikobasiertes Chemikalienregime zu betreiben.

Das europäische Lebensmittelrecht gehört zu den strengsten weltweit. Es wird ständig an die neuesten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse angepasst. In jüngerer Zeit haben sich die Experten der Europäischen Kommission und der Mitgliedstaaten mit neuen Regelungen zu per- und polyfluorierten Alkylsubstanzen (PFAS) beschäftigt. Dieser Artikel soll einen Überblick zu den neu geplanten Regelungen und deren Hintergrund geben.

In February 2019, the German Federal Cabinet adopted the 'National Strategy for Reducing Food Waste', setting a framework for the future direction of this initiative. Among other things, it stipulated that an inter-ministerial "Indicator 12.3 Working Group" should prepare the data bases and methods for nationwide balancing of food waste generation (baseline). Based on existing 2015 data, this status quo analysis will be used as a starting point to agree on milestones for the respective sectors.
Circular economy from an SDG perspective: A multi-stakeholder process for developing policy options
© Lehrstuhl für Abfallverwertungstechnik und Abfallwirtschaft der Montanuniversität Leoben (11/2020)
Based on a longitudinal case study (the UniNEtZ project in Austria), which includes a multi-stakeholder involvement, we investigate the process of developing CE policies for the Austrian Federal Government from an SDG perspective. Within this context, the main research question is how multi-stakeholder processes can enable the development of CE policy options. The study thus contributes to providing a structured approach of how different stake-holders from academia, industry, research funding agencies and government collaborate, how knowledge is created and transferred within this multi-stakeholder process, and what outputs, outcomes and impacts can be realized at the national level in the context of developing CE policies using an SDG framework.
The circular packaging design guideline and holistic sustainability assessment in circular economy
© Lehrstuhl für Abfallverwertungstechnik und Abfallwirtschaft der Montanuniversität Leoben (11/2020)
The FH Campus Wien Circular Packaging Design Guideline provide recommendations for circular design for the whole supply chain. Circular design is a necessary prerequisite to achieve the goals of the European Circular Economy Package which requires full recyclability of packaging by 2030. Circular packaging should re-duce resource consumption and environmental impacts of packaging. The assessment of packaging sustainability requires the calculation of direct and indirect environmental impacts and circularity at the same time. A method for holistic sustainability assessment of packaging has been proposed by FH Campus Wien and developed in an ECR-working group (Efficient Consumer Response) with the participation of a number of companies along the whole supply chain (brand owners, retailers, packaging manufacturers and packaging systems).
