Note:
The figures provide some insight into the type
and scale of expert opinions prepared by the BfR
in 2014. They describe OUTPUT. A low number of
risk assessments may be more valuable for con-
sumer protection – because of the subject matter
and scientific quality – than a multitude of risk as-
sessments. The figures do not, therefore, permit any
or only limited conclusions about the OUTCOME
of the activities of the BfR.
