The paper offers an overview of the measures adopted by the EU Commission, to face the outcomes of Fukushima nuclear meltdown. Through Regulation (EU) 297/2011, the Institution imposed special conditions on the import of food and feed originating in or consigned from Japan.Such measures – ensuring food safety by means of random official controls on imported goods - have been enforced on the legal basis of article 53 of Regulation (EC) 178/2002, that charges the Commission with the implementation of actions, when a risk for public health, animal health or for the environment cannot be adequately contained by the interested Member State, individually. Since the emergency concerns food safety, in relation to a nuclear accident, both the RASFF (Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed) and the ECURIE (European Union’s Urgent Radiological Information Exchange System) have been put on the alert: the Commission will be informed regularly thanks to the coordination and efficiency of the members of the two networks.

Abstract
The paper offers an overview of the measures adopted by the EU Commission, to face the outcomes of Fukushima nuclear meltdown. Through Regulation (EU) 297/2011, the Institution imposed special conditions on the import of food and feed originating in or consigned from Japan.Such measures – ensuring food safety by means of random official controls on imported goods - have been enforced on the legal basis of article 53 of Regulation (EC) 178/2002, that charges the Commission with the implementation of actions, when a risk for public health, animal health or for the environment cannot be adequately contained by the interested Member State, individually. Since the emergency concerns food safety, in relation to a nuclear accident, both the RASFF (Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed) and the ECURIE (European Union’s Urgent Radiological Information Exchange System) have been put on the alert: the Commission will be informed regularly thanks to the coordination and efficiency of the members of the two networks.
