  1. EU food safety agency aims for more transparency”, EurActiv.com, 9 June 2008. “EFSA undermines pesticide Regulation 1107/2009 on use of scientific peer-reviewed open literature”, Pesticide Action Network, 6 September 2010 - “So rather than use this new mandate to rely less on industry data, EFSA plans to use the same tool, GLP, to keep on removing independent studies from consideration”, writes Pesticide Action Network in its comment piece.
