Aiming for Novelty in Objective

In a significant move towards ensuring the safety and quality of bee products, the Executive Board of the Honey platform has unanimously adopted a policy requiring all harmonized documents of its Scientific Commissions to have a uniform public representation. This decision, confirmed yesterday, comes as the platform prepares for its meeting today in Brussels.

The Honey platform meeting will be attended by Dr. Urška Ratajc, the Head of the Scientific Committee on Safety and Quality of Bee Products, who has prepared a comprehensive and detailed document for the event. The committee's role is to provide expert advice on scientific matters related to the safety, quality, and regulatory compliance of honey and other bee-derived products.

The policy change stems from the need for a unified public appearance of all bodies and working bodies involved in the Honey platform. This is considered crucial for the future success of achieving the platform's goals. Members of the Scientific boards who present different positions in public than those agreed upon and adopted by the Executive Board may find themselves removed from their positions.

Scientific committees, such as the one overseeing the Honey platform, play a vital role in ensuring the safety and quality of products through evidence-based decision-making. They review relevant scientific data, assess potential risks, and provide recommendations for safety standards, quality control measures, or regulatory changes.

Publicly expressed disagreements by committee members could lead to internal conflicts, loss of trust from stakeholders or the public, regulatory scrutiny, or changes in policy. These consequences could undermine the credibility of the committee and its members, making it essential for them to present a unified front.

The Honey platform's Executive Board also agrees on the language of arguments before any public appearances to maintain a consistent and coherent message. This policy aims to strengthen the platform's reputation and ensure the success of its mission to promote safe and high-quality bee products.

The Honey platform meeting, with its focus on establishing a unified public representation, marks a significant step forward in the platform's commitment to ensuring the safety and quality of bee products. The meeting will provide an opportunity for the platform to reinforce its position, as established by the European Commission and the Scientific Committee, and to move towards a more harmonious and effective future.
