The presentation of research projects and the discussions enabled all participants to take stock of the scientific progress in this area, as well as the relevance of these tools, for the purpose of risk prevention and protection of human health.<BR>A new study on the toxicity of GMOs was published today. Solicited by the French government, ANSES will immediately examine this new study and will inform the ministries of its conclusions without delay.<BR>An overview by ANSES of the Caribbean population's food-based exposure to pesticide residues <BR>ANSES and the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) sign a Memorandum of Understanding<BR>ANSES at the 2013 Paris International Agricultural Show<BR>ANSES celebrates science!<BR>ANSES examines a poorly documented topic: socio-economic disparities in the diets of children and adolescents<BR>ANSES has been monitoring the issue surrounding the safety of energy drinks for many years. To this end, and within the framework of the nutritional vigilance scheme, the Agency has been gathering information on adverse effects that are suspected to be linked to consumption of these products. Several cases were recently reported to ANSES in which energy drinks were consumed along with alcohol. The Agency invites individuals who have noticed adverse effects following consumption of these beverages to contact a health professional who should declare the cases brought to their attention to ANSES via the nutritional vigilance scheme.<BR>ANSES highlights the weaknesses of the study by Séralini et al., but recommends new research on the long-term effects of GMOs<BR>ANSES is granted a new reference laboratory mandate by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) <BR>ANSES is in charge of providing support to the French authorities for the implementation of the European regulation concerning the classification and labelling of chemicals. In keeping with the work the Agency has conducted on bisphenol A, it has filed a proposal with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to revise the classification of this substance in order to make it more stringent on the EU level with regard to reproductive toxicity.<BR>ANSES launches its call for research projects in environmental health and occupational health<BR>ANSES proposes a more stringent EU level classification for bisphenol A as a substance toxic to reproduction<BR>ANSES proposes a tool for animal disease prioritisation<BR>ANSES proposes new toxicity reference values (TRVs) for two substances, vinyl chloride and cadmium<BR>ANSES publishes for the first time a detailed report of the adverse effects of veterinary medicinal products (2011 drug monitoring report)<BR>ANSES publishes its 2011 Activity Report<BR>ANSES publishes the results of its studies on the risks related to talc in the workplace<BR>ANSES Scientific Conferences: a day devoted to exposure markers<BR>ANSES signs partnership agreements with its Polish and Lithuanian counterparts<BR>ANSES to immediately examine a new study on GMO toxicity<BR>ANSES was requested by the French Government to examine the paper by Séralini et al. published on 19 September 2012. The collective expert assessment carried out by the Agency concluded that the results of this research do not cast doubt on previous regulatory assessments of NK603 maize and Roundup. However, ANSES emphasises the small number of published studies dealing with the potential long-term effects of the consumption of GMOs in association with pesticides and recommends undertaking research into these issues. In addition, the Agency calls for national or European funding to enable large-scale studies and research for consolidating our knowledge of insufficiently documented health risks.<BR>ANSES withdraws marketing authorisation for certain antiparasitic collars for pets<BR>ANSES's "Nanomaterials and health" dialogue committee set up on 21 November 2012<BR>ANSES's Laboratory for Rabies and Wildlife celebrates 40 years of commitment to human and animal health<BR>ANSES: two years of work dedicated to health and safety<BR>Antimicrobial resistance is a major globally-acknowledged issue for human and animal health, with the emergence and the growing spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Since 2009, ANSES has convened stakeholders interested in this topic in the area of animal health for European Antibiotic Awareness Day. This event, which is now closely linked to a research and risk assessment context, was held today. It was an opportunity to present the yearly report on the work by the Agency and its partners in the field of antimicrobial resistance. Although the effects of improvements made over the last few years have begun to bear fruit, especially in terms of animal exposure to antibiotics, the efforts currently under way must continue. <BR>As a part of its mission to plan and support research, ANSES runs the French National Research Programme for Environmental and Occupational Health (PNREST), an essential tool for the development of knowledge as support for public policymaking and the health risk assessment work carried out by the Agency. In this framework, a call for research projects in environmental and occupational health is issued every year with funds entrusted to ANSES by the Ministries of Ecology and Labour, in addition to the proceeds of the tax on radiofrequency transmitters, and funds from partner institutions. The 2013 call for projects, which focuses on the assessment and analysis of environmental risks to human health in the general population or at work, is launched today with total funding of around 6 million euros.<BR>As one of its responsibilities in the area of occupational health, ANSES has been entrusted by the Ministry of Labour to conduct scientific assessments prior to the setting of occupational exposure limits (OELs) for certain chemicals. In order to contribute to the setting of these values, the Agency is issuing calls for contributions prior to and following the collective expert assessment work. Seven pre-assessment consultations and five post-assessment consultations have been launched today via ANSES's website.<BR>As part of France's national Science Festival, held from 10 to 14 October, the general public will be able to visit three laboratories belonging to ANSES. They will discover the broad spectrum of work undertaken there and, for a few days, share in the daily life of researchers. <BR>At the May 2012 General Session of the World Organisation for Animal Health, ANSES's Maisons-Alfort Laboratory for Animal Health was entrusted with a new reference mandate, for epizootic haemorrhagic disease. The session was also an opportunity to officially establish the transfer of the paratuberculosis mandate from the Maisons-Alfort laboratory for Animal Health to the Niort Laboratory.<BR>Bee colony health: ANSES examines the results of a study of the effect of an active insecticide ingredient on the be<BR>Bee mortality and pesticides: ANSES's reaction to the publication of an opinion by the European Food Sa<A HREF='PHI0.htm'>Infos on Anses</A>
