PRINTED ON WHITE CHLORINE-FREE PAPER Introduction to COST Action 97
COST (Co-operation in Science and Technology) is a research programme to foment scientific and
technical co-operation at European level, complementing in particular the EU framework programmes
and EUREKA. COST co-operation takes the form of concerted Actions, which involve the co-ordination
of national research projects. The Actions focus on specific themes which are targeted by participating
countries according to their research priorities. The co-ordination avoids unnecessary duplication of
research, at both European and national level, and helps build larger, more effective scientific
communities. At present, COST offers the possibility to co-operate between scientists from up to 32
member countries, and participants from other countries may be admitted on a case by case basis. COST
is funding projects involved in pre-competitive and basic research as well as other activities of public
utility. The scientific quality of COST projects is well recognised and contributes to a coherent structure
for European research.
In the field of Food Science and Technology, COST is mainly concerned with improving food safety,
food quality and nutrition. Taking into account these main topics, COST Action 97 is specifically
devoted to "Pathogenic micro-organisms in poultry and eggs". This project started in 1994 and it will be
under development until 1999. The Chairman of the Action is Dr.R.W.A.W. Mulder from DLO Institute
for Animal Science and Health in Lelystad (The Netherlands). At present, sixteen countries are actively
participating in this COST Action: Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany,
Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands and United
Kingdom. The Action is supported by the European Commission Directorate General for Science,
Research and Development, and in particular by Unit DGXII/AP2: Political Co-ordination and Strategy,
responsible for COST support and its Scientific Secretariat.
Poultry meat and eggs are important and mostly cheap animal proteins and are thus favourite products
of consumers. It is therefore appropriate to improve ways of reducing risks to the consumer of disease
carried by these foods. The national costs of food-borne diseases are enormous and often
underestimated. Any reduction in their incidence will have considerable economic benefits. The
importance of the Action lies in the scientific integrated approach of the whole production chain.
Activities in parts of the chain are important, but should be considered only as links within a total of
activities, aiming at the decrease of contamination with poultry-borne human pathogens.
Thus, the main aims of this COST Action may be summarized as the following:
- the prevention of infection of live birds,
-n of contamination of poultry-meat, eggs and egg products with Salmonella and other
pathogenic micro-organisms,
- application of new methods for end-product decontamination and preservation,
- development of monitoring procedures and rapid detection methods and tests.
By organising European research co-operation on these issues and exchanging the results, the Action is
promoting harmonisation and standardisation of methodology and it is increasing the knowledge on
pathogenic micro-organisms and their effects on human animal and health. With all these activities the
Action wishes to make its contribution to raising the quality of European research within this field.
