Financial Framework Regulation (EU) No 652/2014
Protecting the health of humans, animals and plants at every stage of the food production process is a key public health and economic priority for the European Union. In the last 10 years, the EU has spent € 3.3 billion on its food safety policy, including € 2.2 billion on specific programmes.
Continuing this approach, the main objective of the Regulation (EU) No 652/2014 (for Food chain, animal and plant health expenditures) is to contribute to a high level of health for humans, animals and plants, while protecting consumers and the environment, and creating one single, clear and modern financial framework for animal health, animal welfare, plant health and official controls.

Regulation (EU) No 652/2014 fixes the maximum budget for 2014-2020 and the rules for the implementation of this budget.
