EFSA urged to clean up list of 'public interest' organisations | Corporate Europe Observatory:
Corporate Europe Observatory has written a letter to EFSA, to urge the food safety agency to take concrete steps to ban conflicts of interest on its expert panels. CEO highlights one particular loophole identified in its recent report “Unhappy Meal: The European Food Safety Authority's independence problem”. This regards a specific list of food safety organisations used by EFSA that are considered to be working in the public interest, and therefore activities with these organisations is not a conflict of interest.
