IPA Europe co-signed a joint letter: the EFSA’s performance evaluation should support innovation and future regulatory revisions.
IPA Europe and 23 European industry groups have co-signed a joint open letter calling for a high-performing EFSA to boost the competitiveness of the EU agri-food sector. The joint letter highlights growing concerns about delays, increasing complexity, and regulatory burdens that are discouraging innovation and weakening the competitiveness of EU food and feed businesses. The signatory organisations call on the European Commission and EFSA to accelerate the delivery of EFSA’s performance evaluation and fully consider the challenges outlined by industry stakeholders. To support innovation, resilience, and strategic autonomy in the EU food system, future regulatory revisions must be fit for purpose and aligned with the EU’s priorities.
