Annual Management Plan 2011

Annual Management Plan 2011

Demand for EFSA's scientific opinions on food and feed safety issues will remain high in 2011 as illustrated by the 746 scientific outputs and 101 supporting publications the Authority plans to deliver. In particular, the demand for EFSA's evaluations of regulated products (so-called applications) will grow in areas such as enzymes and feed additives. It is also likely that EFSA will receive new mandates on health claims on top of those scheduled for completion in mid-2011 and the new Regulation on plant protection products will be implemented in 2011. The resource commitment for the evaluation of regulated products has doubled over the period 2008-2010 from 20% to 40% and about two-thirds of our annual scientific outputs now concern applications. At the same time, the workload in the area of public health risks has expanded due to major mandates such as that on meat inspection.
