碩士 === 國立臺灣海洋大學 === 食品科學系 === 97 === This thesis aims to determine the equivalence between Taiwan official control system for fishery products intent to export to European Union and the Community control system by comparing the materials relevant to the inspection missions conducted by Food and Veterinary Office of the European Commission to Taiwan in 2006 and 2008. Results indicated that the recently developed Taiwan official control system for fishery products intent to export to European Union has included the qualification and training requirements for official control officers, management of national laboratories, supervision of control body, internal audit of official control agents. This control system, building up based on the Community provisions, is almost equivalent to the Community requirements. However, there is still a need to extend the hygiene control to other establishments include cold storage, ice making plants and carriers to reach a better official control on fishery product hygiene, water monitoring plan and rapid alert system. As a result, an improved risk management and emergent plan could lead to a perfect control system. The worldwide countries have respective quarantine and inspection provisions according to the WTO SPS requirements. The competence of official control is facing challenge due to the rejects by import countries after reviewing Taiwan’s food safety control system. The only successful program is the official control system for fishery products exporting to EU. This official control system then, can be used as an initiative model further been flexibly modified and applied to other food control system intended for complying with exportation requirement.
