	Food and drink: As it is
		Food and drink companies make, move, sell and serve food and drink to people in a range of settings: at home; at work; at school; in cafés, bars and restaurants; and even on the move.
		Food and drink manufacturing is the single largest manufacturing sector in the UK, accounting for almost 15% of the UK’s total manufacturing (Food and Drink Federation, 2005).
		Those working in food service management, although not the highest paid in the industry, are increasingly being rewarded with benefits, training opportunities and sometimes travel as their careers progress.

		FDF looks to the maintenance of international standards in food safety, which cannot be compromised—technological assistance, technology transfer and other technical support will be necessary to enable developing countries to meet these standards.

		FDF is concerned that the current Harbinson proposals concerning the reduction of export subsidies and based on "front-end loading" are inequitable: FDF stresses that reductions, both in export restitutions and in levels of domestic support must be balanced and simultaneous.
