The next Eurep Gap Fruit and Vegetables Certification and Joint Train-the-Trainer Workshop will be held in Cologne, Germany, on February 17-18 2003.

'This workshop is an opportunity for fulfilling the annual seminar participation requirement for certification bodies that seek to obtain or maintain Eurep Gap approval and also provides a good knowledge base for consultants and trainers,' said Food Plus and Eurep Gap's Dr Kristian Moeller.

Eurep Gap scheme managers who have already attended a CB Workshop can skip session one of the workshop.

All Eurep Gap associate members have the opportunity (optional) to take an exam to become an official Eurep Gap Train-the-Public Trainer.
