() OJ L 11, 16.1.2003, p. 1. () O] L 369, 16.12.2004, p. 73. () OJ L 271, 9.10.2002, p. 1. Decision as last amended by Decision No 786/2004[EC (O] L 138, 30.4.2004, p. 7). () OJ L 301, 20.11.2007, p. 3. (3)  The programme of Community action in the field of Consumer policy for 2007-2013, adopted by the European Parliament and the Council on 18 December 2006 (°) (hereinafter referred to as the Consumer programme for 2007-2013), establishes the general framework for financing Community actions in support of Consumer policy for the years 2007 to 2013. The aim of the Programme is to complement, support and monitor the policies of the Member States and to contribute to protecting the health, safety and economic and legal interests of consumers as well as to promoting their rights to information, to education and to organise themselves in order to safeguard their interests. (4)  Article 51 of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the veri- fication of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules () allows the Commission to organise training courses for the staff of the competent authorities of Member States and for participants from third countries, including developing countries. The areas covered by such training are food law and feed law, animal health and animal welfare requirements. In addition, Article 2(1)(i) of Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (’), offers a legal basis for training in the plant health sector so that the training activities organised by the Commission constitute an overall Community training strategy in the areas of food law, feed law, animal health and animal welfare rules, as well as plant health rules (here- inafter referred to as the food safety training measures covered by Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 and Directive 2000/29/EC). (5) A cost-benefit analysis carried out by external consultants has shown that continuing to entrust programme imple- mentation tasks related to the second Public Health Programme 2008-2013 to the existing PHEA would be the most cost-effective option.
