There are a number of active working groups of the GMO Panel, an expert panel of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). According to the EFSA website,
:Working groups of the Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms are set up to develop draft scientific opinions on specific issues. They consist of EFSA scientists and external experts with the required specialisations, identified by consulting EFSA's expert database . All members are required to comply with EFSA's policy on Declarations of Interests.EFSA, Working groups of the Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms, accessed 22 January 2013
