Management Board of EFSA and Mella Frewen: Time for a change

A letter was sent by Testbiotech and Corporate Europe Observatory to the member states regarding Management Board of EFSA. The letter is about the case of Mella Frewen, who was nominated by the European Commission to the EFSA Management Board. Mella Frewen's previous positions include Director for Government Affairs, Europe, Middle East & Africa, for Monsanto, where she dealt with a number of issues including agricultural biotechnology and agro-chemistry. We believe that the appointment of Mella Frewen will create conflicts of interest within the food agency's management board.

An open door for GMOs? – take action on the EU-US Free Trade Agreement

At the end of June, the European Union and the US will officially launch negotiations for a new free trade agreement known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). The plan is to create the world's largest free trade area, 'protect' investment and harmonize regulation. While appealing to big business, the trade treaty poses a serious threat for citizens on both sides of the Atlantic, as it could weaken labour, social, environmental and consumer protection standards. One of the greatest risks includes US negotiators using the trade deal to push for the EU to open its plates and fields up to GM crops.
