Observers attending EFSA scientific meetings: guidelines & registration
Underpinning EFSA’s commitment to openness and transparency, the Authority is giving access to some scientific plenary meetings either in total or in part in its 2012/2013 programme.
Obliged by the confidentiality of certain regulated product application dossiers and the need to respect proprietary data, EFSA informs interested Observers from the outset that not all agenda items of all meetings will be discussed in their presence. However, the Authority will make efforts to ensure that Observers gain a better understanding of how scientific risk assessment works at EFSA and endeavour to provide new opportunities for interaction with EFSA’s scientific experts.
Registration for upcoming Plenary meetings open to Observers:
- Plenary meeting of the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) , 18 June 2013, Deadline for registration: 3 June 2013;
- Plenary meeting of the Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources Added to Food (ANS) , 2-4 July 2013, Deadline for registration: 17 June 2013.
Those interested in participating as an Observer in one of these meetings should read the following guidelines:
