mision and vison

[Cecile]

Hi,

Jeroen, thank you for your enthousiastic start of the forum! I hope we will soon get some new members.

Here my comments on the mission and vision

How to approach Food Law?
I think that especially practical implications of law are interesting items to discuss. So how does the written rule work out in practice. Which (political) actors are present in different states and how do they influence the legal climate (e.g it would be interesting to hear from someone from the US which factors influence decision making of the FDA).
Moreover, I think that issues like consumers and industry perspectives are interesting to discuss, as these are all important actors in the legal framework.

What is Food Law?
I think that the general topics like food safety, consumer protection, equity in trade, food supplements, nutrition and health claims, novel foods, additives etc. are all interesting to discuss and should be part of the IFLSF.
However I think that this should not confine our debate. If members are interested in other topics such as the right of food as a human right, they should feel free to post a message on a subject like that.

International Students and International Law?
In my opinion everyone from all over the world should be welcome to make a contribution to this forum.

So far my opinion. Looking forward to interesting discussions!

Greetz, Cecile
