EFSA’s Panel on Animal Health and Welfare (AHAW) has launched an online public consultation on its draft Guidance on risk assessment for animal welfare. The consultation aims to gather the widest range of views to finalise the Guidance.

Interested parties are invited to submit their comments by 17 June 2011, Friday at 17.00.

Comments must be exclusively submitted using the electronic template, and referring to the line and page numbers.

Please note that comments submitted by e-mail or by post cannot be taken into account. Similarly, a comment will not be considered if it:

• is submitted after the deadline set out in the call;
• is not related to the content of the document;
• contains complaints against institutions, personal accusations, offensive statements or material;
• is related to policy or risk management aspects, which is out of the scope of EFSA's activity.

EFSA will assess comments from all interested parties against the above criteria. After completion of the public consultation, the AHAW Panel and its working group will consider relevant comments.
A technical report including the comments received on the public consultation will be published.
