| Title: | | Risk assessment in the international food safety policy arena: can the multilateral institutions encourage unbiased outcomes?  |
| Authors: | | Jackson, Lee Ann Jansen, Marion |
| Issue Date: | | 2009 |
| Series/Report no.: | | Staff working paper ERSD 2009,01 |
| Abstract: | | In this paper we provide a description of how food safety related scientific evidence is generated and how it is used in the context of risk assessment for international standard-setting at CODEX and in WTO trade disputes. In particular, we discuss the processes leading to policy conclusions on the basis of scientific evidence, with a focus on the interactions involved between private and public sector actors and those between scientific experts” and others. We identify weaknesses in the current institutional set-up and provide suggestions on how to improve the interaction between different players at the national and international level so as to strengthen the existing system and increase its cost efficiency. |
