Norecopa's Election Committee

Full details of Norecopa's Election Committee from its foundation in 2007 are available on the Norwegian version of this page. The Election Committee is chosen by the Annual General Meeting for two years at a time. The Committee elects its own leader. The more recent members of the Committee are shown here:

The following members were elected at the Annual General Meeting in 2019 and served until the meeting in 2021:

• Dag Atle Tuft (Norwegian Food Safety Authority, representative for government and regulators)
• Trygve Poppe (PHARMAQ AS, representative for industry)
• Marianne Waldum Furnes (NTNU, representative for research and teaching)
• Adeleid Haugen (Dyrevernalliansen, representative for animal protection and welfare)

At the Annual General Meeting in 2021 the following were chosen to be members of the Committee for the period 2021-2023:

• Dag Atle Tuft (Norwegian Food Safety Authority, representative for government and regulators)
• Renate Johansen (PHARMAQ AS, representative for industry)
• Hege Løkslett (NINA (Norwegian Veterinary Institute from May 2022), representative for research and teaching)
• Adeleid Haugen (Dyrevernalliansen, representative for animal protection and welfare)

Dag Atle Tuft indicated before the Meeting that he wished to leave the Committee in 2021. A replacement for him had not been found in time for the Annual General Meeting in 2021, so the Meeting gave the Board permission to find a candidate later. Vera Klafstad Rodas agreed to join the Committee in his place from the Annual General Meeting in 2022.

The Election Committee consisted therefore of the following members from 1 June 2022, who served until the annual meeting in 2023:

• Vera Klafstad Rodas (Norwegian Food Safety Authority, representative for government and regulators)
• Renate Johansen (FHF, representative for industry)
• Hege Løkslett (Norwegian Veterinary Institute, representative for research and teaching)
• Adeleid Haugen (Dyrevernalliansen, representative for animal protection and welfare)

At the Annual Meeting in 2023 all members declared themselves willing to serve on the Committee until the election at the annual meeting in 2024.

At the Annual Meeting in 2024 all members declared themselves willing to serve on the Committee until the election at the annual meeting in 2026 except for Hege Løkslett and Adeleid Haugen. The following were elected:

• Vera Klafstad Rodas (Norwegian Food Safety Authority, representative for government and regulators)
• Renate Johansen (FHF, representative for industry, leader)
• Ingunn Sommerset (Norwegian Veterinary Institute, representative for research and teaching)
• Live Kleveland (Dyrevernalliansen, representative for animal protection and welfare)
