European Agriculture Ministers meeting in Killarney, Ireland, on 11 May 2004 confirmed the EU's commitment to a strong relationship with developing countries, particularly as regards trade in food and agriculture products. To facilitate this type of trade, the European Commission has put in place clear food safety rules as well as guidelines on how to apply the rules. The Commission also finances technical assistance projects to help developing countries live up to the EU food safety standards. Furthermore, the EU reaffirmed its strong commitment to create better market opportunities for developing countries through the ongoing WTO Doha Development Agenda.
