Task 1: Structuring and methodology Sample Clauses

Task 1: Structuring and methodology. The contractor has to establish a general work plan and methodology based on the objectives and tasks in order to collect data and views of interest and process and analyse them, providing an overview over the task to be considered. The contractor should identify the main food sectors and products, such as soya, on which the study needs to focus and map relevant competent authorities and official control services, stakeholders and other sources (scientific literature, databases, etc.) most relevant for the collection of data. Based on the findings of the mapping, and in order to respond to the study questions outlined in point 2.2, the contractor has to prepare a questionnaire to conduct surveys towards Member States’ authorities and relevant European and international stakeholders in order to perform task 2. The questionnaire will be fine-tuned with and validated by the Commission within one month following the kick off meeting. The contractor will propose a list of relevant Member States (such as Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, France, Austria and Hungary) where to perform an in-depth analysis providing insight of the different approaches adopted as regards methods of sampling and analysis. The contractor will have to gather the findings of the data collection (task 2) and analysis process (task 3) into a synthetic format to be agreed with the Commission.
