PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
II° CALL FOOD QUALITY TRACEABILITY
Dead line previosion 13/FEB/2004
	
	
5.4.4 Area: "Traceability" processes along the production chain The objective is to increase consumer confidence in the food supply by strengthening the scientific and technological basis for ensuring complete traceability along the entire food chain including animal feed. It will ensure that products can be linked to their source while also protecting products of declared origin (both geographical and production system). It will also assure traceability of genetically modified organisms, and other products based on recent biotechnology developments, from raw material origin to purchased food products.
(T4.1) Development of reliable traceability methods and systems to establish the origin/ mode of production of food products - IP The aim is to satisfy demand for harmonised, reliable, rapid and cost-effective methodologies and protocols needed to prevent fraud and to assure consumer confidence in the quality, safety and origin of food and to enable rapid and cost-effective product withdrawal. Taking a number of different foodstuffs, product-specific and generic traceability systems including analytical markers, technical and organisational aspects to determine production, species, and geographical origin, will be developed using natural tracers and other compounds. Development of a comprehensive information system (e.g. documentation system, information management) on authenticity along with the establishment of a high standard of training, demonstration and dissemination infrastructure is imperative. Building on existing technologies and scientific networks, the project will develop and demonstrate a working system suitable to all food chain stakeholders. The involvement of all relevant stakeholders is sought particularly addressing the wants and needs of consumers.

Dear Potential Partners,
interested on the FOOD QUALITY & SAFETY European Priority of the 
Sixth Framework Program ,
the LRE/EGO-CreaNET of the University of Florence , aims to develop a Knowledge 
Management for the promotion of a collaborative Consortium developing a 
bid/budget  for the II° call on FP6 - 5.4.4./ T4.1  priority.
	
The general issue will be: TYPICAL FOOD QUALITY TRACEABILITY .
See preliminary information about the II° Call in:
	http://www.infoeuropa.it/Eventi/sixth_framework_program.htm
	
As you probably know no one proposal was financed on T4.1 First Call, probably  
for the difficulties to co-ordinate all tasks requested by the call in a 
criticall mass of networking Trans European partnership.
Therefore effective partners of the II° CALL proposal should demonstrate their 
plans and roles in a way that the partnership's Consortium will be adequate to 
fulfill the complex tasks of the FP6 - 5.4.4.// T4.1,  that will be 
expected to be carried out by the cooperative trans-European Consortium.
For this reason I ask to all potential partners to fulfill the SCHEMA that is 
included in :
	http://www.infoeuropa.it/Eventi/sixth_framework_program.htm
	
After this I would like to develop with you a preliminary approach to the 
BID/BUDGET that is considering your kind reply to the data in the
SCHEMA. Thank you very much to reply by e-mail , to me fulfilling the SCHEMA 
before the 5/Sept/2003 .
Very cordially Paolo Manzelli <LRE@UNIFI.IT>
