93/5/EEC of 25 February 1993 on assistance to the Commission
and cooperation by the Member States in the sc ientific exami-

Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has, on a request from the
Conunission, adopted an updated scientific opinion relating to
ochratoxin A in food on 4 April 2006 (2), taking into account
new scientific infotmation and derived a tolerable weekly intake
(TWI) of 120 ng/kg bw.
