A new CEN Workshop is being planned which will complement the activities of the EU Research project "NeoGiANT". This initiative is developing natural antimicrobial products for the control and prevention of relevant diseases in animal production from agri-food byproducts.

For more than 30 years, CEN/TC 144 'Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry' has been producing standards in the service of agriculture, forestry and gardening activities. CEN/TC 144, whose Secretariat is held by AFNOR, the French national standardization committee, is currently developing 50 projects that are geared towards machine safety and operator protection, taking into account the protection of the environment, technological innovations and efficiency needs.
