The above discussion of risk assessment policy guidelines at Codex has contributed to a more transparent process of risk assessment and a clearer definition of the roles of both risk assessors and managers, which were hitherto ambiguous. In addition, in response to Codex’s demand for clarification, the FAO and WHO initiated a workshop on a consultative process for scientific advice. In 2007, they produced the FAO/WHO Framework for the Provision of Scientific Advice on Food Safety and Nutrition (to Codex and Member Countries) (FAO/WHO, 2007).
