The EFSA Scientific Network for Risk Assessment of GMOs (the GMO Network) was established in accordance with EFSA's strategy for cooperation and networking with Member States. The goals of the GMO Network are to improve dialogue among members, build mutual understanding of risk assessment principles, enhance knowledge and confidence in the scientific assessment carried out in the EU, and increase the transparency of the process among Member States and EFSA. The annual reports of the GMO Network inform the public about the specific activities and achievements of the GMO Network. In 2018, GMO Network members attended the annual GMO Network meeting and other EFSA scientific meetings relevant for the risk assessment of GMOs, and contributed to the risk assessment of 12 GMO applications.
