Public policy in the field of food safety and veterinary medicine

Abstract

The article is devoted to outlining certain aspects of legal regulation of veterinary medicine in Ukraine. The paper analyzes the study of legislation in the field of veterinary and episodic welfare, as well as food safety. The stages of reforming the central executive body that implements the state policy in the field of food safety are distinguished. A comprehensive analysis of the planning and implementation of veterinary-sanitary supervision and control at the controlled entities of food production, storage and marketing is analyzed. Conceptual approaches to the formation of the state personnel policy in the field of food safety have been proposed, while the main goals that formulate the needs of the industry by professional, competent and qualified personnel have been outlined. The ways of improvement of unplanned measures of state control and application of administrative influence are suggested.
 The author concludes that the organization of the food service base of Ukraine is unexplored and legislatively imperfect, which creates obstacles to the effective work of the central executive body, which implements state policy in the field of veterinary, sanitary and epizootic welfare. It is emphasized that a necessary precondition for improving the national strategy of food security of Ukraine is the creation of a viable, constructive state veterinary service, capable of performing the functions of state veterinary and sanitary control and supervision. This gives reason to believe that the formation of state personnel policy in the field of food safety and veterinary medicine of Ukraine today is one of the pressing issues that need to be addressed in both scientific and practical aspects.
