Purpose of research: Networks and research co-ordination

This project compared the results of private-industry audits with the results of official controls in agricultural operations raising pigs. Based on the privateindustry audits, the operations were divided into two risk categories. The official controls confirmed that this risk classification was plausible for the official control personnel with regard to compliance with regulations for animal disease prevention (biosecurity), animal protection, and food safety. It would make a lot of sense for official risk assessment to use the risk categories created by private-industry audits. It is extremely easy for official authorities to generate the classification because the risk assessment can be found in a table. Unfortunately, it is still very difficult to resolve the data privacy issues. The core idea of Project 3.4. “Private-public partnerships for risk-oriented controls of agricultural operations” was included as a goal in the Coalition Agreement of the Federal government in 2009.
