Efsa 'not Working' Says Italian Minister Ronchi

摘要

The Italian Minister Andrea Ronchi launched a stinging attack in the media on the European Food Safety Authority last week, saying that the Agency is "non functioning or functions at a reduced rate." Ronchi, who is minister for community policies, also criticised EFSA senior management, saying they were failing to "make a greater mark" and made a direct attack on the executive director Catherine Geslain-Laneelle. The comments were covered in EFSA's local paper, the Parma Gazette, and posted on the government's community policies department web site.
