The selection process by the Executive Director involves checking that the experts it proposes are in line with EFSA's policy and rules on independence and it is expected that the Executive Director, given its specific role, will be vigilant on this key issue for EFSA.
Valikumenetluse käigus kontrollib tegevdirektor, kas ekspert, kelle kohta ta ettepaneku esitab, vastab EFSA sõltumatuse poliitikale ja eeskirjadele, ning arvestades tegevdirektori erilist rolli eeldatakse, et ta on selles EFSAle olulises küsimuses valvas.
