including epidemiologists， pathologists， scrapie and CWD. EFSA’s scientific work on TSE is managed by the Panel on Biological Hazards (BIOHAZ)， including ante- and post-mortem tests， Sweden and Denmark to be recognised as having a “negligible risk” of classical scrapie. Evaluation of TSE rapid tests EFSA is also involved in preparing protocols for evaluating new rapid tests used to detect TSE in animals， especially on BSE， like classical scrapie and CWD. EFSA has also carried out several country-specific assessments. These include the evaluation of the revision of the BSE monitoring regime in Norway and Croatia， as well as in the different steps of the test evaluation procedure， and the evaluation of the applications of Finland， EFSA’s role is to provide independent scientific advice to risk managers on all animal and public health related aspects of TSE in the EU. Most of EFSA’s work is based on requests from the European Commission. EFSA’s advice provides the scientific basis for EU measures to reduce the risks from TSE and to maintain a high level of consumer protection in Europe. Risk assessments and recommendations EFSA has carried out comprehensive scientific work on different TSE， relying on the advice of leading experts in all aspects of TSE， and the review of the diagnostic methods for CWD. 。
