IV. Employment 05/2003 - now -Name: National FoodAdministration (Office of theMinistry of Agriculture)-Location: Uppsala, Sweden-Type: public
Like the GMO-Panel give a scientific risk assessment on applicationsto market GMO, that is instrumental for the commission in takingfurther decisions on that particular GMO together with Member States,I am by risk managers at the National Food Administration asked togive a scientific risk/safety assessment on applications to market theseGMO in Sweden. The risk managers at a different unit of the NationalFood Administration subsequently use this opinion and incorporateother legetimate factors when formulating a global suggestion for thatGMO for Sweden. This suggestion is then handled and modified byresponsible risk managers at the Ministry of Agriculture, and possiblyother ministries. I neither have influence on the texts written by riskmanagers at the National Food Administration nor at the Ministries. Ina similar way I give scientific opinions on risks related to naturaltoxicants in foods (and possibly feeds).

Provision of information by the expert's institute to the Dutch nationalauthorities on the safety of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) foruse as food and animal feed.
This activity pertains to GMOs that have been notified for approvalunder EU legislation, including the GM Food and Feed regulation1829/2003/EC and directive 2001/18/EC on environmental releases ofGMOs. The information provided by the institute to the authoritiesusually includes an a document with a summary of the dossier besidesproposed comments that are to be forwarded to EFSA in order tosupport the safety assessment process.
The expert is currently only involved in the provision of scientificsummaries of dossiers on GMOs provided to the authorities. Theexpert therefore only assists the authorities with scientific informationand is not involved in decision-making by the Dutch nationalauthorities on GMOs at the policy level.
