Annual Management Plan 2006

In 2006 the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) will be in its 4th year of operation although still in its build up phase. 2006 will mark its first full year in Parma the Authority having transferred all its activities there by the end of October 2005. Therefore 2006 should offer the organisation and its staff stability and a firmer basis for further development than in previous years. The competences and capabilities established by the Authority since the start of its operations will continue to be built and consolidated. However it is still true to say that as a growing Authority in a changing legislative environment the Work Programmes of the Authority have to remain flexible so as to absorb both changing priorities during the year while taking into account any particular feed or food safety concerns that may arise in the course of the year.
