Genetic conditions are not named in one standard way (unlike genes, which are given an official name and symbol by a formal committee). Doctors who treat families with a particular disorder are often the first to propose a name for the condition. Expert working groups may later revise the name to improve its usefulness. Naming is important because it allows accurate and effective communication about particular conditions, which will ultimately help researchers find new approaches to treatment. 

In the EU until 2003, the European Commission s Scientific Committee for Food (SCF) performed safety evaluations of food additives and contaminants. This task has now been taken over by the EFSA. EFSA s risk assessments and other scientific work are undertaken by its Scientific Committee and nine scientific Panels, each responsible for a different aspect of food and feed safety. The scientific work is also supported by external Scientific Expert Working Groups, each specializing in a specific subject (EFSA 2006).
