Food security, Rama admits failure: Letters no longer 'hold water' for the EU!

Prime Minister Edi Rama, in his podcast "Flasim", described food security as one of the main challenges of European integration.
Rama indirectly admitted that to date the process has remained largely formal, without a functional control system to guarantee the quality of food products at every link in the chain.
He said that "papers are no longer worth reading" for Brussels, implying that legal harmonization is not enough without concrete results.
We recall that the EU Ambassador, Silvio Gonzato, emphasized a few days ago that Albania must show real progress on the ground, not just on documents.
"The focus of this week has been what will be the focus of all the weeks to come, in one way or another, food safety and approximation to European Union standards. In a meeting organized with food business operators, we focused on a very concrete topic. How will we guarantee that every product that citizens consume is not only safe, but also an accepted and successful product in tomorrow's common European market, where we will be members with rights, but also with equal obligations.
And this is related to a more complex current challenge of our European Union accession process, which is ensuring tomorrow for all those who have built today on the foundations of a collection point, processing or production of food by-products, meaning from living things to packaged products.
A process that is often misunderstood as a list of tasks to be completed for others, while in essence it is something that is directly related, not just to the health of Albanians here in Albania, of consumers here in Albania, but also to our common national mission of Albania in the European Union in 2030. It is not a matter of rules on paper, it is a matter of jointly building a functional system of production, control, quality and trust in every link.
At this stage, Albania is not only harmonizing its legislation with the European Union, but also needs to ensure the concrete implementation of laws in everyday reality. Therefore, we are interacting and will interact more and more actively with entrepreneurs and enterprises in agriculture, entrepreneurs and enterprises dealing with animal products and their by-products, entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs dealing with everything that comes out of the Albanian soil today, thanks to their work and golden hands , "said Rama.
