SWOT – FODAWGS
STRENGTHS� Small country:
• Our longest distance is 665 kms
• “We know each other” on food safety.
• Possibility of sharing resources.
� Knowledge:
• Training on this topic is actually developing (ex. Masters in Bioinformatics- Science University)
• Research groups working on sequencing (Instituto Pasteur and Clemente)
� Regulations:
• There is a national code on diseases and health reportable events
• Existence of an Integrated Health System.
Evento de Notificación Obligatoria

OPPORTUNITIES
• Knowledge of the sourranding flora’scharacteristics.
• Use of an advanced methodology.
• Possibility of deeper epidemiology studies .
• Improvements on chain production.
WEAKNESSES� Networks:
• Weakness in scientists institution´s networks
• Food Safety Authorities` networks needstrengthening.
� Knowledge:
• No shared information, food safety data not easilyavailable .
• Fragmented information, it´s generated only in especific areas, difficulty in traceabiliy.
• Therefore , information is poor at the moment of decision making (regulations, risk assessment ,etc.)
� Economic resources:
• Resources needed for equipment, training and supplies.
• Training of teams in data processing.
WEAKNESSES
� Epidemiology:
• Inmature epidemiology system in food area.
• Underreporting
• Poorly defined reportable diseases
� Methodology
• Need for further development on WGS for use in food testing (no need of strain isolation).
TREATHS• High cost.
• Need of training on the methodology
• Not all the authorities know about WGS methodology.
• Low undersatnding of the usefullness of WGS.
• “NASA” methodology – “A Ferrari in a stone street”
• Confidence in the use of databases.
• Fear of trade barriers.
