The 1st January 1993 the frontiers between the Member States of the European Community and the customs controls will disappear. The abolition of this type of control won't affect the food security. The french administration has strong legal rules to ensure the protection of consumer's health. The regulations prepared by European Community in order to allow the free circulation of goods also ensure a high level of consumer's protection. In case of harmonization, each Member state keeps some rights when there are risks for consumer's health. In absence of community regulations the principal of mutual acknowledgement aiming to avoid the barriers to trade can then not be applied for health and security necessities. The authorities controls are now resolutely inserted in an european context: priority to controls during production, harmonized methods of intervention to promote the required acknowledgement of controls enforced in each Member state, involvement in an european alert system, and development of the cooperation between the national administrative authorities of inspection. Regarding the matter of food security the authorities need the assistance of the scientific community and of its national and international representative organisations. They take an essential part in diagnosing, emergency and advice during the elaboration of regulations. Their power should be even greater with the implementation of the european scientific cooperation.
1993年1月1日，欧洲共同体成员国之间的边境及海关管制将消失。取消这类管制不会影响食品安全。法国政府有严格的法律规定来确保消费者健康得到保护。欧洲共同体为使货物自由流通而制定的法规也确保了高水平的消费者保护。在协调一致的情况下，当消费者健康面临风险时，每个成员国都保留一些权利。在没有共同体法规的情况下，旨在避免贸易壁垒的相互承认原则就不能适用于健康和安全必需品。当局的管制现在坚定地置于欧洲背景下：生产过程中的管制优先，采取统一的干预方法以促进对每个成员国实施的管制的必要承认，参与欧洲警报系统，并发展国家检查行政当局之间的合作。在食品安全问题上，当局需要科学界及其国家和国际代表组织的协助。它们在法规制定过程中的诊断、应急和提供建议方面发挥着重要作用。随着欧洲科学合作的实施，它们的权力应该更大。
