about us

On this page you will find details of meetings held and attended by the Chief Executive and Directors of the Food Standards Agency during February 2008.

The Agency provides this information to meet our commitment to openness.

Details of meetings attended by the Chair and Deputy Chair are provided for Open Board meetings as a Standing Order paper . These standing order papers are updated with information from the last open Board meeting. Where a Director doesn't appear, it is because he or she had no meetings with external stakeholders during the displayed month.
