Review of Hormones (2002-2006)
In 2002 the VPC established the working group on the Review of Hormones, to evaluate the latest opinion of the Scientific Committee on Veterinary measures relating to Public Health (SCVPH) dated April 2002 and advise on its conclusions. The working group was also invited to advise on whether the latest opinion of the SCVPH, and the research studies on which it is based, addressed the conclusions reached in the report of the VPC sub-group on Hormonal Growth Promoters published in October 1999.
The working group’s draft report was published for consultation in August 2005 and the final, VPC, Report published on 5 July 2006.
