The Membership is restricted to representatives of food law enforcement organisations within the European Community, the European Free Trade Area and the officially nominated future EU-members. The maximum number of representatives at a FLEP-Forum meeting from any one eligible country shall not exceed five persons. This rule does not prevent the Chairman of FLEP inviting observers to specific meetings of the Forum. Members do not represent governments.

Observers

Any national organisation, dealing with food law enforcement, not originating from Membership countries, may ask observer membership status for observer ship through the FLEP secretariat. Other international organisations/institutions, dealing with food, may be invited by the Chairman of FLEP. A request by those organisations should be addressed to the FLEP-secretariat. The Steering Group will decide about accepting the request.

Contact Points

Every country nominates a contact point. The names of the present contact points are placed on the FLEP-Website. The role of the contact points are:

• coordination of the registration for the FLEP-Forum meeting
• first contact point for specific questions (cooperation between Members)
• coordination of the participation of the country in Working Parties

How to become a Member

When a specific contact point exists in a country, this person should be contacted. If no contact person exists, the organisation may contact the FLEP secretariat. A description of the organisation, including its aims and objectives, should be included in the request. The secretariat will address the request to the Steering Group, who will decide about the request.
