The Group of Experts was established in 2010 and aims at an improved management of hazards that have the potential to affect the quality of products and services, and/or cause harm or damage to people, the environment, property and immaterial assets. To this end, it systematizes and applies best practice on risk management in regulatory activity and international trade. More information on this group is available on the group’s web page.
