This document discusses the European regulatory framework for the Management of Risk Assessment (MRA) concerning foodborne zoonoses. It highlights the role of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in providing scientific advice, the COST program 920 aimed at harmonizing MRA practices across Europe, and specific activities in various countries, including the analysis of pathogens like E. coli O157, Campylobacter, and Listeria. Collaboration between research institutions such as Campden and TNO is emphasized along with useful web resources for more information.
