foodwatch promotes access to safe, healthy, and affordable food for all. We are a consumer-based organisation with offices in the Netherlands, Germany, France, Austria and Brussels and approximately one million supporters across the continent.
I welcome the intention in this proposal to simplify the process for Member States to adopt specific food safety adaptations, particularly in support of traditional and artisanal food production. However, I believe this needs to go further. Traditional and small-scale artisan producers operate fundamentally differently from industrial food systems.
The Biocontrol Coalition welcomes this simplification initiative as an important first step toward a more fit-for-purpose EU regulatory environment for biocontrol solutions, while stressing that this Omnibus cannot, on its own, resolve the structural mismatch between the current framework and the characteristics of biocontrol products. The Omnibus proposes several positive developments.

FEAP welcomes the Commission's initiative to simplify EU food and feed safety rules. Legal simplification is particularly timely in the EU now, given the geopolitical context, as it directly addresses growing concerns about regulatory overload and competitiveness.

The pet food sector strongly supports the Commissions objective to modernise and simplify EU food and feed safety legislation. However, we are concerned that combining numerous legislative changes, ranging from technical simplifications to politically sensitive pesticide provisions, may slow adoption.

Ladies and gentlemen, Omnibus X (DG SANTE) of 16 December 2025 contains, in addition to problematic deregulation, a useful proposal: stricter controls on pesticide residues in imports and a practical zero tolerance for active substances banned in the EU. It is not acceptable that pesticides banned due to significant health or environmental risks are exported and returned to the EU market via imports.

The draft ‘Simplification Omnibus’ on food and feed safety raises serious concerns for public health, animal health and the protection of the environment. These risks do not result from an explicit questioning of the protection objectives, which the text states it wishes to maintain, but from an accumulation of structural changes adopted without an overall dimpact analysis.

Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed”. You read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
