In the scope of the newly launched follow-up technical cooperation project between Germany and Egypt, “Strengthening of Metrology for the Improvement of Competitiveness in the Egyptian Economy II (SMIC II)”, EGAC hosted the first training input of the project working network.

As the first network activity, the National Food Safety Authority (NFSA) provided an input on the technical regulation for food under the auspection of H.E. Dr. Tarek Elhoby.

Attendees included EGAC, GOEIC, IMC, NIS, CFI, and QCAP — crucial actors from the quality infrastructure and food processing sector.

These inputs support the overall cooperation’s aim to strengthen Egypt’s capabilities for food testing in accordance with international requirements, and thus further develop both food quality in local markets and export potential in international markets.
