LUNCH

 

 

*Please note that Annex 4 of Paper 88/2 and Annex 4 of Paper 88/5 have not been circulated outside the committee as these documents contain new scientific data that have not yet been published in a scientific or medical journal. As premature release of unpublished data may prejudice publication the annexes are not released prior to publication. This is in accordance with SEAC's code of practice.

On the afternoon of Thursday 30th June, SEAC will consider research into ‘atypical’ cases of scrapie. These discussions will be held in a closed session to allow discussion of unpublished scientific information. This is in accordance with SEAC's code of practice.
