The European Commission on 9 November 2005 decided not to raise any objections to the new Belgian system for financing the Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain (AFSCA). Financing was found to be based on a clear distinction between directly invoicing the real cost of Agency services provided to private operators, in the form of ‘fees’, and sharing the costs of general random checks programmes, in the form of ‘contributions’.
