In 2002, the European Commission and the European Parliament established the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). The provisional seat of the new Authority is Brussels and the final seat of the authority will be Parma, Italy. EFSA's main task is to carry out risk assessment and to provide independent scientific advice on all matters linked to food and feed safety. This includes animal health and welfare and plant health-as well as nutrition. Therefore, EFSA's risk assessments provide risk managers with a sound scientific basis for regulatory measures in order to ensure a high level of consumer protection. EFSA is confessed to openness and transparence. The authority keeps good links to all European institutions, particularly to the European Commission and the European Parliament, to national authorities, which have similar tasks to EFSA, and to stakeholders such as consumer and food industry organisations.
