As for other agencies, EFSA independence is appropriately safeguarded by the criteria for nomination that privilege members with a profile of risk assessor and the strong provisions on independence and on transparency since the rules providing that the members of the Management Board have to act independently in the public interest and make an annual public declaration of interests remain unchanged.
U odnosu na druge agencije neovisnost EFSA-e primjereno je zaštićena kriterijima za predlaganje koji idu u prilog članovima s profilom procjenitelja rizika i strogim odredbama o neovisnosti i transparentnosti s obzirom na to da se ne mijenjaju pravila kojima je utvrđeno da se članovi Upravnog vijeća obvezuju djelovati neovisno u javnome interesu i svake godine potpisati izjavu o sukobu interesa.
