31 March 2017
FRANCE: First update of the official list of biocontrol products
31 March 2017
The public consultation on the draft guidance document of the EFSA Scientific Committee on the identification of biological relevance of adverse/ positive health effects from experimental animal and human studies is opened until 1st May 2017.
Generic issues and criteria are given to consider biological relevance, particularly when deciding on whether an observed effect is of biological relevance, i.e. is adverse (or shows a positive health effect) or not. The opinion clarifies a number of definitions and concepts, such as, responses of a biological system to exposure, mode of action and adverse outcome pathways, thresholds, critical effect, modelling approaches, etc. It also proposes several case studies.
