Provision of a Model for the Evaluation of Different Options for the Monitoring of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies in Cattle in the European Union.

Objective

The purpose of the contract is to provide EFSA with a flexible and transparent model supported by a 'user-friendly' interface that would be employed for the evaluation of different TSE monitoring options in cattle. This model will support the EFSA panel and, where appropriate, the associated ad hoc working groups in the development of future opinions related to the review of the TSE monitoring regime in the European Union.<P>
A training session for future users of the model must also be provided.
