China inicia
integración de estandares de seguridad
alimentaria
China está muy atenta a los niveles de los residuos de plaguicidas
en el vino y en otros alimentos, dijo el día 13 de agosto de 2012 un
investigador gubernamental. Yan Weixing,
investigador del Centro Nacional para la Evaluación de los Riesgos de la
Seguridad Alimentaria de China, dijo el lunes pasado que los residuos de
plaguicidas, que según él son inevitables en el mundo moderno, no amenazan la
salud de las personas, si están controlados dentro de un ámbito normal, y sus
riesgos son medidos completamente antes de su uso [seguir leyendo: http://espanol.cri.cn/741/2012/08/13/1s255447.htm ].

EFSA* 10 years on - Independent report says Authority delivering on all fronts, outlines recommendations for further progress
The
European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) continues to demonstrate its value as the
cornerstone of risk assessment for food and feed in the EU and fulfil its
obligations to operate in an independent manner, an external evaluation has
found. The review also makes a number of recommendations on how the Authority
could further improve its performance.
The
report, by international auditors Ernst & Young, notes the high quality of
EFSA’s scientific outputs and risk communication activities. It highlights the
Authority's culture of transparency and robust systems to ensure the
impartiality of its scientific advice.
However,
the evaluation also recommends that EFSA: enhance transparency in some
decision-making processes; build better links with Member States; increase its
planning and prioritisation capacity; improve the clarity of its communications
and develop its data collection practices.
These
proposals will make an important contribution to shaping future development of
the organisation.
EFSA
Executive Director Catherine Geslain-Lanéelle
said: “This external evaluation underlines that EFSA operates to the highest
standards – particularly with regard to the quality of our scientific opinions
and risk assessment methodologies.
“Independence,
transparency and openness are core values upon which the Authority is built and
the review acknowledges that our culture and safeguards in this respect are
among the most rigorous of any comparable organisation.
“We
welcome the recommendations the report makes to improve the way we operate
still further and these will be key in laying the foundations to build our
strategic plan over the next five years.”
EFSA
will reflect carefully on the report and its recommendations will be discussed
among all key partners and stakeholders including the European Commission,
European Parliament, member states as well as the Authority’s Management Board.
Part of this review will be carried out during EFSA’s Institutional Conference
on 13 November 2012.
