The
Scientific Committees provide
the Commission with the sound
scientific advice it needs
when preparing policy and
proposals relating to
consumer safety, public
health and the environment.
The Committees also draw the
Commission's attention to the
new or emerging problems
which may pose an actual or
potential threat.
In the interest of
transparency, the Opinions of
the Committees are made
available as quickly as
possible following a request
for advice from the
Commission. In addition, the agendas, minutes
of meetings, lists of committee members, as well
as their Declarations of Interests are published.
