Following a complaint made by Testbiotech and the Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) [http://www.testbiotech.org/en/node/354] the European Ombudsman has reacted and forwarded relevant questions to EFSA. EFSA now has to respond by the end of August. Further, on initiative of the Green Party, the European Parliament has adopted a paragraph during its process of budget control stating that the Parliament “urges EFSA to ensure that all former officials, in accordance with Art. 16 of the European Staff Regulations, inform EFSA about taking up new positions outside the institutions. If these activities could lead to a conflict with the legitimate interests of the institution, EFSA must take the appropriate measures".
