A 2010 report from German NGO Testbiotech notes:
- Just before he joined the EFSA, he worked for a so-called Task Force established by the International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI)... Even after starting work at EFSA, Kuiper is still currently active within ILSI.[3]
Additionally:
- Harry Kuiper, and a second expert from the same panel, Gijs Kleter, have for years been working with the International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI). They cooperate with representatives of companies such as Monsanto, DuPont, Dow AgroSciences, Syngenta and Bayer, within projects that aim to soften criteria for risk assessment for genetically engineered plants.[4]
