I. DEFINITION
OF THE PROBLEM
• Our main tasks as a consumer association
are the following:
1. To adopt a position and put forward the demands necessary for
ensuring maximum guarantees in terms of health protection, freedom
of choice and the consumer’s right to information, in a
realistic and useful manner.
2. To provide the consumer with practical information, concerning
both the benefits and potential risks to human or animal health,
and/or to the environment.
• Every position on the subject must be regularly updated

the subject, (toxicology, ecology). |
