A series of International Workshops on Harmonisation of GMO Detection and Analysis - as part of a biannual training programme carried on in collaboration with the Directorate General for Health and Consumers (DG SANTE – Better Training for Safer Food Programme) and the Directorate General for Enlargement (DG ELARG – TAIEX programme) - aim at illustrating the EU legal framework on GMOs and the current situation in relation to analytical methods, as well as at sharing with representatives from the different Countries the experiences derived from the implementation of the European Network of GMO Laboratories (ENGL). Moreover, these events aim at stimulating the participation of expert representatives of the national reference laboratories, for improving the overall scientific competence on official testing and, ultimately, for facilitating the adoption and application of testing methods validated in the EU. These events also involve representatives from Ministries and Regulatory Authorities in charge of the enforcement of GMO analysis.
