THE EUROPEAN Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is to open its pesticide approvals procedures to the public, allowing a 40-day consultation period to follow any publishing of a draft risk assessment of a product. Certain information will remain confidential, however, and be removed from the public draft. Comments submitted after 40-days will be ignored. * http://www.efsa.eu.int/science/praper/consultation/catindex_en.html
