Summary/Abstract: Official food control is a crucial part of a food safety system. Accordingto European Union law, the structure of the official food controlauthority is regulated on the member state level, but union level law hasdirect influence on organization of the official food control authorities.Domestic regulation has to guarantee broad enforcement of aims, rulesand competences of official food control. Because of that, it is impossibleto discuss the reform of the official food control authorities’ structurewithout taking into account new EU regulation on official food control.The subject of this article is a general outline of the new Regulation2017/625 on official control, however the attention is given to the rulesof delegating certain official control tasks by the official food controlauthorities. These rules are analysed in the light of doctrinal conceptionof privatization of administration.The author concludes that new EU regulation on official food controlallows the member states to improve delegation of some tasks of theofficial food control authorities, and as a result to guarantee not lowerlevel of protection of human life and health as well as protection of consumerinterests, but with less burden for food business operators.
