30th meeting of the EFSA Stakeholder Consultative Platform
The EFSA Stakeholder Consultative Platform will hold its 30th meeting in Brussels on 31 May – 1 June 2016.
The EFSA Stakeholder Consultative Platform is one of the key fora through which EFSA engages with stakeholders active in the area of food and feed. The Platform meets three times per year in plenary meetings and provides a forum for dialogue, exchange of views and information.
Register to attend as an Observer
The twenty-three organisations that currently make up the Platform consist of organisations representing consumers or involved in public health, plant health, animal health and welfare and environmental protection; farmers and primary processors; food industry; trade and catering. In light of the finite number of the Platform, its meetings are open to the public in accordance with the Platform’s Terms of Reference approved by the EFSA Management Board. Those wishing to attend as observers are invited to register here by 25th May 2016.
On the afternoon of 31 May 2016 there will be a breakout session to discuss EFSA’s challenges. According to the Stakeholder Platform rules of procedures, breakout sessions are reserved to members of the group and not to observers. The outcome of the session will be highlighted on 1 June 2016 during the plenary meeting.
Please note that due to limited space, places will be allocated to observers on a first-come first-served basis. EFSA will contact applicants immediately after the closing date to confirm they have a place.
