Protecting consumers’ right to health is a fundamental right principle and therefore crucial attention should be devoted to the fight against the criminal phenomena
of counterfeiting and sophistication of food especially along illicit trafficking routes in EaP (Eastern Partnership) countries.
The Operational Action, funded by EUROPOL’s Low-Value Grant, led by the Italian Carabinieri for Healthcare (N.A.S.), and executed within EUROPOL’s OPSON operation, aims to dismantle organised criminal groups engaged in food trafficking at an international level.
The operational action aims at fostering collaboration between EU and EaP countries in the fight against food-related crimes.
