EFSA Strategy 2020 - BEUC response to public consultation

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published its new over new overarching strategy for the period 2016-2020 which would cover all aspects related to the Agency’s strategic planning and execution. It outlines EFSA’s high-level strategic and operational objectives for the next five years, which BEUC fully supports. 

The five key objectives include: 

1. Prioritise public engagement in the process of scientific assessment
2. Widen EFSA’s evidence base and optimise access to its data
3. Build the EU’s scientific assessment capacity and knowledge community
4. Prepare for future risk assessment challenges
5. Create and environment and culture that reflects EFSA’s values
