BREXIT-RELATED ACCREDITATION
FOR TROUW NUTRITION GB Trouw Nutrition GB has received confirmation from the UK’s Customs authority that it has been awarded Authorised Economic Operator - FULL (or AEOF) accreditation. This means a major part of the operating company’s strategy has been put in place to reduce the negative effects that a Hard Brexit might cause. Trouw Nutrition GB has secured the
right for goods to be fast-tracked through customs clearance in the event of a Hard Brexit. In addition, should any goods require inspection, they will be given priority over others. Having this accreditation will allow TNGB to keep stocks low without reducing the quality of service to customers by continuing to meet their needs on time and in full in an increasingly difficult trading environment. The AEO scheme was introduced by
the EU to facilitate legitimate trade, secure the international supply chain and ensure customs compliance. These schemes were introduced following events such as 9/11 in order to protect countries from terrorist attack. AEOF is the highest level of accreditation possible under the EU’s AEO standard. To have achieved this standard in just nine months is an achievement of which TNGB is very proud. Only 398 other companies in the UK hold AEOF. The standard will be effective from March
19, 2019 and our authorisation number is GB AEO F/00277/18 Trouw Nutrition GB General Manager
Rob Binnekamp says, “Gaining the AEOF accreditation is a living example of what can be achieved when colleagues collaborate together. The dedication of and contribution made by so many people and departments has been essential to this award. This award demonstrates to customers just one way in which TNGB is always working to add value to their customers businesses. Congratulations and thanks to all who have contributed to this success story.”
EUROPEAN COMMISSION ADOPTS FOOD WASTE MEASUREMENT
METHODOLOGY On 6 May 2019 the European Commission adopted the common methodology for the uniform measurement of food waste across the EU. The development of the food waste measurement methodology stems from the revised Waste Framework Directive, which lays down an obligation for Member States to annually submit the measured levels of food waste to the Commission. Substances destined for use as feed materials, including former foodstuffs, are excluded from the
scope of obligatory food waste measurement. For better understanding of the material flows related to food and the planning of targeted food waste prevention policies, Member States have the possibility to report information of the feed use of former foodstuffs on a voluntary basis. EFFPA President Paul Featherstone:
“It was already clear that former foodstuff processing was part of the solution when it comes to preventing food waste. This obligation for Member States to report on food waste statistics and implement national food waste prevention action plans should provide an incentive to operators at food manufacturing and retail level to consider engaging with former foodstuff processors as well as reconsider the referral of feed-eligible foodstuffs to bioenergy, which would clearly count as food waste.”

In addition, the acquisition by the Van Mourik Group offers the opportunity to further develop the innius® software platform.
GLOBAL LEADERS DISCUSS THE FUTURE OF FEED AND FOOD AT 6TH GLOBAL FEED & FOOD
CONGRESS (GFFC) Global feed and food leaders discussed the future of feed and food at the 6th Global Feed & Food Congress (GFFC) in Bangkok, Thailand. Organized by the International Feed Industry Federation (IFIF) with technical support provided by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and in collaboration with VIV worldwide, delegates at the 6th GFFC examined the global challenge to provide safe, affordable, nutritious and sustainable animal protein sources through innovative solutions to feed 9 billion people by 2050. The Honorable Dr. Sorravis Thaneto,
Director-General of the Thai Ministry of Agriculture’s Department of Livestock Development joined Dr. Daniel Bercovici, IFIF Chairman, Dr. Berhe Tekola, Director of FAO’s Animal Production and Health Division and Mr. Pornsil Patchrintanakul, President of the Thai Feed Mill Association, to open the Congress. They welcomed 300 world-class experts and executive level delegates from Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Americas representing feed and food chain stakeholders from over 50 countries. The 6th GFFC was a great success and
holding it in Thailand placed it at the heart of a fast-growing region for the feed and food sector, Daniel Bercovici points out, while the focus on the future of the feed to food chain is timely, given the imperative of finding innovative solutions to feed a growing world population. Over 35 world-class speakers, including
CEOs, leaders, and experts from global feed and food companies, international organizations and the scientific community, provided their insights and expertise at the 6th GFFC sessions that covered key aspects of the future of the feed and food value chain, with a special focus on the digital revolution in agriculture, sustainability, feed & food safety, nutritional innovation, global regulations & policy, and trade and market developments. The excellent plenary sessions were
followed by a global leaders panel, which included Dr. Rob Koremans, CEO of Nutreco, Joe Stone, Executive Vice President and Chief Risk Officer at Cargill, Dr. Mark Lyons, CEO of Alltech and Dr. Berhe Tekola, Director of FAO’s Animal Production and Health Division. The global leaders discussion with delegates touched on critical issues facing the agri-food chain, including sustainability, how to drive innovation, the importance of a balanced regulatory framework, capacity development as well as free and fair trade, and highlighting the importance of cooperation and partnership not only with industry and chain partners, but also with other stakeholders.
