EFSA's mission is to ensure that food is safe for Europe's 500 million consumers. To achieve such a demanding task, EFSA works in close cooperation with all its European partners. Working together ensures that decisions concerning food safety are supported by the best scientific evidence available.
This is why the principle of scientific cooperation is fundamental to EFSA - and is built in to the Authority's founding regulation.
Scientific cooperation takes place through EFSA's work with Member States; scientific organisations and individual experts.
