COUNCIL DECISION
of 7 April 2022
appointing representatives of Member States as members and alternate members of the Management Board of the European Food Safety Authority
(2022/C 159/06)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 25(1) thereof,
Having regard to the nominations submitted by Member States to the Council,
Whereas:






(1)


It is vital to ensure the independence, high scientific quality, transparency and efficiency of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). It is also indispensable to ensure the cooperation of that Authority with Member States.










(2)


Regulation (EU) 2019/1381 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) modified Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, including its Article 25(1) on the composition of the EFSA Management Board.










(3)


In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1381, the term of office of the members of the EFSA Management Board in office on 30 June 2022 will expire on that date. The members and alternate members of the EFSA Management Board whose term of office is to start on 1 July 2022 are to be appointed in accordance with the new procedure for nomination and appointment introduced by Regulation (EU) 2019/1381.










(4)


Article 25(1) of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 requires that each Member State nominate a member and an alternate member as its representatives to the EFSA Management Board. The members and alternate members thus nominated are appointed by the Council for a period of four years, which may be renewed, and have the right to vote.










(5)


The representatives that have been nominated by Member States have relevant and extensive experience and expertise in the field of food chain law and policy, including risk assessment, and also in the fields of managerial, administrative, financial and legal matters. Their appointment therefore secures within the EFSA Management Board the highest standards of competence and the broadest range of relevant experience available.










(6)


Pursuant to Article 27(2) of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, representatives appointed as members of the EFSA Management Board by this Decision can no longer be members of the EFSA Advisory Forum,
