"We will strengthen food safety" Berisha: The Agency will have all

During a meeting to discuss food security in the country, the leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, spoke out for a deep reform of this sector. According to him, not only should food security be a matter of national security, but it should also be a central sector.

This agency will have all executive powers. This institution must be free from any politicization. It may be subordinate to the prime minister, to the parliament, but this is a central institution for the state and the nation. Its laboratories must be the most modern laboratories. And I guarantee you that we will double or triple the budget in this area. Yes, there is nothing more serious.

According to Berisha, the law should stipulate that no product that is not sold in two EU countries and that has agricultural use should enter Albania.

No. I'm not saying that the rest of the world is unsafe, but Europe is safer. I follow them and it is concluded that Europe is safer in this respect. It is more expensive, but it is worth it. This is for safety. Therefore and in addition to this, we are certainly for market liberalization, but the state laboratories of direct official responsibility will be equipped and it will not happen...

Berisha further added that there will be appropriate, controlled conditions at all points of entry to customs in Albania, which are necessary and which today almost formally exist, or do not exist. According to him, international cooperation and twinning with prestigious agencies is very necessary.
