Dr. Ragnar Lofstedt will be presenting a Forum on "The Changing Regulatory Environment in Europe." He will discuss European regulation and the use of evidence based and risk informed policymaking in a post-Brexit world. He also will discuss various aspects of risk analysis and changing views on uncertainty analysis post-Brexit. I took a peek at his slides and he will be discussing at least one pesticide risk. I am arranging a small group to meet with him for lunch. You may be interested in joining us for that. Perhaps he could give us an overview of the recommendations that came out of last June's 2017 Cambridge Risk and Uncertainty Conference (See http://www.sra.org/events/cambridge-risk-and-uncertainty-conference-ruc) Best Regards, Linda Linda Abbott Director Office of Risk Assessment and Cost-Benefit Analysis Office of the Chief Economist United States Department of Agriculture Room 4032S 1400 Independence Ave., SW Washington, DC 20250-3811 202.690.6056 phone 202.720.1815 fax This electronic message contains information generated by the USDA solely for the intended recipients.
