The European Commission adopted a financial decision to grant a total of €15 million for 2013 to support the 44 EU Reference Laboratories (EU-RLs) designated for food and feed safety and animal health.
The purpose of providing financial support - which applies from 1 January 2013 - is to encourage the Reference Laboratories to continue their active contribution in providing technical support to both the Commission and Member States in implementing EU policies in these areas. EU-RLs provide essential scientific and technical support in the area of feed and food safety and animal health and are the main pillar of the EU laboratory network which also comprises National reference Laboratories and Routine Laboratories.
