EHEDG Regional Sections 133
In October 2012, a seminar with representatives from
state organizations was carried out in UNIDO and Food
Safety Agency. During this seminar our Regional Section
presented possibilities of cooperation with EHEDG, e.g.
the organization of trainings and providing certification
of the equipment in food factories. Using the materials of
EHEDG presentations, joint seminars were organized with
agricultural and engineering universities.

Company-members of EHEDG have been successful,
due to our collaboration, i.e. the introduction of EHEDG
Guidelines and the organization of meetings and seminars
at the manufacturers’ locations.
The food companies of Armenia which co-operate with the
following subgroups are presented below:
• “Bari Samaratsi” LTD – “Meat Processing” subgroup.
• “Akvatechavtomatika”LTD – “Fish Processing”
subgroup.
In these enterprises interesting research work is carried out,
the results of which are the basis for determining the material
for the corresponding subgroups, for example:
• Influence of technology of processing surfaces
and equipment by biocides, on survival rate of
the microorganisms, causing safety and quality of
foodstuff;
• Use of modern methods of packing and storage of
fresh fish.
In 2012, mass media were actively used for the advancement
of EHEDG in Armenia; these are transfers on Armenian TV

A Regional Section on the rise
For EHEDG Belgium, 2012 was a busy year. A number of
people from Belgium have been active in EHEDG work for
quite some time. Finally, after many years of involvement,
the team has taken up the task of founding the Belgium
section. EHEDG Belgian Regional Section has created a
legal identity as non-profit organisation (vzw or “stichting”
in Dutch, and “Vereinigung ohne Gewinnerzielungsabsicht”
in German). This legal identity is required to legally protect
the individuals and to be able to receive and send out
accountable invoices.
