Summary

Ionising irradiation is a current subject in the European Community's Member States, particularly in Italy, due to the approval of a national legislation, DLvo n. 94, January 30, 2001, implementing the European directives 1999/2/CE and 1999/3/CE on the approximation of the laws of the Member States. Consequently, starting from March 20, 2001, irradiated food on the Italian markets must comply with the previous mentioned directives. Member States are requested to implement methods to detect treatment with ionising irradiation at the product marketing stage. The Italian Legislative Decree of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità n. 94, January 30, 2001, gives ISS the duty to select detection methods to be applied on a regional scale by the competent local health bodies.
