The EFSA is the principal risk assessment body for food and feed safety within the European Union and it is tasked with providing independent

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the possibility of an appeal by Zimbabwe through the World Food Programme for maize imports in the coming year.[HL368]

It is therefore possible that a formal GoZ appeal through WFP for maize imports could be forthcoming. Recently, different GoZ Ministers have mentioned the importance of continued donor support to WFP’s seasonal targeted assistance programme.
