Every 4 years, the Law on Independent Risk Assessment of the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (WOR) is evaluated. The WOR came into effect in 2006 with its main objective being independent risk assessment and advising on risk management related to food and consumer product safety. The WOR is organised by functionally separating the research and advisory tasks from regular inspection tasks and placing them under a separate directorate within the NVWA: the Bureau Risk Assessment & Research (BuRO).
On behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality, Dialogic conducted the evaluation. We investigated the effectiveness and efficiency of the WOR during the period 2011-2020. We also examined whether the principles from 2004 are still relevant and whether they may need to be supplemented or revised.
Conclusions and recommendations can be found in the research report recently sent to the Dutch House of Representatives by Minister Schouten.
