    8. On 8 March 2007, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) adopted an Opinion of the Scientific Panel on Biological Hazards on a request from the European Commission on certain aspects related to the risk of TSE in ovine and caprine animals [3]. In that opinion, EFSA concluded that: ‘There is no evidence for an epidemiological or molecular link between classical and/or atypical scrapie and TSEs in humans. The BSE agent is the only TSE agent identified as zoonotic.
    9. In the Order of 28 September 2007, the Commission’s assessment of the available scientific data on the possible risks was questioned. Accordingly, the Commission subsequently asked EFSA to assist it in clarifying the two main premises on which Regulation (EC) No 727/2007 was based. Firstly, the absence of any scientific evidence demonstrating that any TSE agent, other than BSE, may be considered to be a zoonotic agent. Secondly, the possibility to distinguish through molecular and biological tests between BSE and other animal TSE in ovine and caprine animals.
