To ensure that the health of consumers is protected, the competent authorities shall rely on risk analysis, unless it is unsuitable in the circumstances or in view of the type of measure.
The risk assessment must be based on the available scientific knowledge. It must be carried out in an independent, objective and transparent manner.
In order to achieve the goals of this Act, risk management must be carried out based on the results of the risk assessment, in particular the official expert opinions and other essential factors, as well as the precautionary principle must be taken into account.
Risk communication is regulated in particular in Articles 24 and 54.
