Abstract

We are happy to announce the continuation of an existing –and in some ways new-partnership between ICC and MoniQA. MoniQA, currently funded by the European Commission as a Network of Excellence and coordinated by ICC, has confirmed its continuing support of QAS as part of the newly established MoniQA Association; the global food safety network to be launched at the end of June 2011 with its secretariat based in Vienna, Austria.
