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.
Kalbant apie kitas agentūras, EFSA nepriklausomumas tinkamai užtikrinamas taikant paskyrimo kriterijus, pagal kuriuos pirmenybė teikiama nariams, tinkantiems eiti rizikos vertintojo pareigas, ir griežtas nepriklausomumo ir skaidrumo nuostatas, nes taisyklės, pagal kurias Valdančiosios tarybos nariai turi veikti nepriklausomai tarnaudami viešiesiems interesams ir kasmet teikti viešą interesų deklaraciją, nesikeičia.
