Institutional cooperations



The Agency participates in multiple cooperative efforts aiming to develop or reinforce the expert opinion capacities and the scientific structures of the new member States of the European Union and third-party countries.


In a bilateral framework, in response to European call for tender or on solicitations by international organisations (such as the World Organization for Animal Health - OIE), the Agency becomes involved, frequently alongside the State's departments, in actions of scientific, technical, and methodological support with its foreign institutional partners.
