New Executive Director announces EFSA's future priorities
Following up the external evaluation report on EFSA published in January 2006[1], the Management Board recommends that EFSA focus its efforts in six priority fields:
- Develop active networking and stronger co-operation with Member States
- Strengthen EFSA's relationship with its institutional partners (EU and international) and stakeholders
- Enhance EFSA’s organisation
- Enhance the impact and effectiveness of EFSA communications
- Develop EFSA’s role in nutrition
- Define EFSA’s medium and long-term vision
Commenting on her new appointment, Catherine Geslain-Lanéelle said: “I am joining EFSA at a very opportune moment. Building on the significant work done so far I am committed to further establishing EFSA as a European reference for risk assessment on food and feed safety both in the EU and internationally. European risk managers need to rely on independent scientific advice to underpin policies and decisions regarding food safety. It will be my job to take us there by working in close collaboration with Member States, key institutional partners and stakeholders”.
