Norecopa's Activity Plan
Norecopa's Activity Plan
Norecopa was founded on 10 October 2007. This page describes some of the activity after that date (see the Annual Reports for full details).
A temporary national platform, financed by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (Mattilsynet) in 2005-2006, was run by the Norwegian School of Veterinary Science (NVH).
Norecopa produces Activity Plans, which are updated when necessary and approved at each Annual General Meeting and described in the Annual Reports. The Reports are published in both English and Norwegian, while the Activity Plans are currently only available in Norwegian:
2008-11 | 2009-12 | 2010-13 | 2011-14 | 2012-15 | 2013-16 | 2014-17 | 2015-18 | 2016-20 | 2021-25 |
What have we done since the last Annual Meeting?
Norecopa's activity is described in its newsletters, which have been written in English since no. 3-2017, and which are issued electronically 7-8 times a year.
