The primary goal of SAFEFOODNET, a Specific Support Action of the Framework Programme 6, is to promote Associated Candidate Countries (ACC) and New Member States (NMS) capabilities of addressing all aspects relating to chemical food safety. SAFEFOODNET consortium, that started in January 2005, has 20 partners from 17 countries which include 4 Member States (Italy, Denmark, Germany and Belgium), 10 NMS (Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovenia, Malta, Cyprus), and 3 ACC (Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey). The first step was to have a picture of the systems of chemical food safety in the participating countries. These have been achieved by the activities planned in two project working groups: one aimed at gathering knowledge regarding sources of dietary data (WP2) in individual countries, and another focusing on strategies/approaches and capabilities of monitoring food chemical contamination (WP3). Each partner filled in on line the questionnaires both for WP2 and WP3. The questionnaires was divided in two parts: the first one consisted of the profile of the institutions; the second part was more specific and aimed at collecting details about each relevant dietary survey undertaken (WP2) and about the analysis the institute conducted (WP3). A web site (www.safefoodnet.net) has been developed which also includes the projects activities and participants and information about Directives on food contaminants. The dissemination of project’s results at local and international level include the organization of workshops in Slovak Republic, Latvia, Bulgaria, Malta, Poland and the final one in Brussels where all relevant stakeholders will be invited. These activities aim at developing a set of long-term activities, to be continued after the end of the project and hopefully be expanded to other countries.

Abstract
The primary goal of SAFEFOODNET, a Specific Support Action of the Framework Programme 6, is to promote Associated Candidate Countries (ACC) and New Member States (NMS) capabilities of addressing all aspects relating to chemical food safety. SAFEFOODNET consortium, that started in January 2005, has 20 partners from 17 countries which include 4 Member States (Italy, Denmark, Germany and Belgium), 10 NMS (Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovenia, Malta, Cyprus), and 3 ACC (Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey). The first step was to have a picture of the systems of chemical food safety in the participating countries. These have been achieved by the activities planned in two project working groups: one aimed at gathering knowledge regarding sources of dietary data (WP2) in individual countries, and another focusing on strategies/approaches and capabilities of monitoring food chemical contamination (WP3). Each partner filled in on line the questionnaires both for WP2 and WP3. The questionnaires was divided in two parts: the first one consisted of the profile of the institutions; the second part was more specific and aimed at collecting details about each relevant dietary survey undertaken (WP2) and about the analysis the institute conducted (WP3). A web site (www.safefoodnet.net) has been developed which also includes the projects activities and participants and information about Directives on food contaminants. The dissemination of project’s results at local and international level include the organization of workshops in Slovak Republic, Latvia, Bulgaria, Malta, Poland and the final one in Brussels where all relevant stakeholders will be invited. These activities aim at developing a set of long-term activities, to be continued after the end of the project and hopefully be expanded to other countries.
