lpv:translated text	"In the Commission, we exercise all the powers that we have to make Member States adhere to the directives that are on our statute book. As you know, enforcement is a competence of Member States. This is a borderline which is quite difficult because the Commission is often held responsible for the final implementation in every corner in Europe, but we know that we cannot cross borders. Member States, in fact, have the full competence of enforcement in their own areas. What we do is try to coordinate the enforcement aspects. On food safety, for example, we have systems such as RAPEX and the RASFF that I would say are working very well in all Member States, and in the health sector, also the information on health security. All these work, but we are constantly monitoring what is happening. As I said, we are in constant contact with the various agencies in the Member States at grassroots level to try to assist in whatever way possible – by training and also sometimes by subsidising initiatives that would ensure general safety for the whole of Europe and the protection of the food chain in Europe. The food chain in Europe, I believe, is one – if not the only – sector that has a real single market in operation. That is also due to the efforts that are made by Member States and by the Commission to keep safety at the highest level of importance."@en1
