THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety [^ntr1-C_202605398EN.000101-E0001], and in particular Article 25(1) thereof,

Having regard to the nomination submitted by France to the Council,

Whereas:

(1) It is vital to ensure the independence, high scientific standards, transparency and efficiency of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). It is also indispensable to ensure the cooperation of EFSA with Member States.

(2) Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 requires that each Member State nominate a member and an alternate member as its representatives to the EFSA Management Board. The members and alternate members thus nominated are to be appointed by the Council for a term of 4 years, which may be renewed, and have the right to vote.

(3) The Council, by means of its Decision of 27 April 2026 [^ntr2-C_202605398EN.000101-E0002], appointed representatives of the Member States as members and alternate members of the EFSA Management Board for the period from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2030.

(4) By letter dated 22 June 2026, EFSA was informed that Mr Gilles SALVAT, the member for France, resigned.

(5) A new representative should therefore be appointed to serve for the remainder of her predecessor’s term of office.

(6) The representative that has been nominated by France has relevant and extensive experience and expertise in the field of food chain law and policy, including risk assessment, and also in the fields of managerial, administrative, financial and legal matters. Her appointment therefore secures within the EFSA Management Board the highest standards of competence and the broadest range of relevant experience available,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The following person is hereby appointed as a member of the Management Board of the European Food Safety Authority until 30 June 2030:

Ms Élisabeth CLAVERIE DE SAINT MARTIN (France).

Article 2

This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.

Done at Luxembourg, 12 October 2026.

For the Council

The President

D. O'BRIEN
