Norecopa's Activity Plan
Norecopa's Activity Plan
Norecopa was founded on 10 October 2007. This page describes the activity after that date. 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:
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.
