Since December 13, EU will implement the new food safety regulation, which requires that all packaged food shall indicate one EU address, thus many Swiss food enterprises have to go to EU to set up offices. EU expresses that, the Swiss address can get the same effect only under the framework of comprehensive agreement of the food sector. As it is difficult to reach an agreement within the foreseeable future, the Swiss Federal Statistical Office is working with European Commission for the transition scheme, so as to reduce the impact of the regulation on the Swiss food export.
