Brussels/ Strasbourg - On 1 May 2003, 162 observers from candidate countries join the European Parliament. The Confederation of the food and drink industries of the EU takes this opportunity to welcome the significant progress already accomplished to integrate the Community Acquis. In the last run up before actual accession, efforts must now be pursued to ensure proper implementation and enforcement of EU Law and to guarantee that as of 1 May 2004 all foodstuffs, put on the EU market, meet the EU food standards. From its side, the EU food industry will continue to play a key role to ensure implementation of EU food law on the ground.
