Every 4 years, the Law on Independent Risk Assessment Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (WOR) is evaluated. The WOR came into effect in 2006 and its main objective is to provide independent risk assessment and advice on risk management in food safety and consumer product safety. Organizationally, the WOR is ensured by functionally separating the research and advisory tasks from the regular inspection tasks, and by placing them in a separate directorate within the NVWA: Risk Assessment & Research Bureau (BuRO).
On behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality, Dialogic conducted the evaluation. We examined to what extent the WOR was effective and efficient during the period 2011-2020. We also investigated whether the principles from 2004 are still relevant and whether they may need to be supplemented or adjusted.
The conclusions and recommendations can be found in the research report that was sent to the House of Representatives by Minister Schouten on 12 November.
