In order to achieve the objectives of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission to amend that Regulation as regards the number and names of the Scientific Panels, and to supplement that Regulation with the procedure to be applied by the Authority to the requests for a scientific opinion, with the criteria for inclusion of an institute on the list of competent organisations designated by the Member States, and with the arrangements for setting out harmonised quality requirements and the financial rules governing any financial support. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making. In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council receive all documents at the same time as Member States’ experts, and their experts systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts.
