Abstract
From the side of the controlling authorities the most serious challenge will be the auditing system. Especially, as regards the preparation of the necessary forms and training of the auditors with the goal to introduce objectivity and transparency.
The audited will have to cope with the production of evidence, as they will have to support their claims of safe food production not only at the time of an audit, but also when no controlling authority is present.
Communication is the basis of success. All the parties involved will have to reason and their reasoning must be within the objectives given by the food law (and animal welfare laws, when appropriate).
