On March 16-17, the Hygiene Group of FACEnetwork gathered at the Maison du Lait in Paris for a productive two-day meeting.

The event kicked off with a warm introduction of participants, followed by an in-depth review of national sampling plans from our countries. We shared valuable insights into the specificities, strengths, and challenges of our respective systems.

The primary goal was to begin developing a comprehensive Sampling Plan Guidance that can be applicable across Europe and helps producers to manage their work effectively and safely.

The meeting concluded with the identification of the next steps and the assignment of tasks. The event was held in a great atmosphere, and it was a pleasure to meet in person.
