Un des engagements pris dans le cadre de la SAPT est d'appuyer les pratiques ouvertes et transparentes de déclaration du rendement. Le BIO est le principal responsable de la mise en ouvre d'une culture de transparence et d'ouverture accrues auprès de nos intervenants par le truchement des initiatives d'engagement des citoyens et des intervenants. Reconnaissant la valeur et la nécessité de l'optimisation de l'expertise internationale en matière de sciences et d'élaboration de politiques, le Bureau recherche et coordonne également des possibilités de partenariats avec ses homologues internationaux du secteur de la réglementation, ainsi qu'avec des organismes comme le National Institute for Biological Standardization and Control (NIBSC) et l'Organisation mondiale de la Santé (OMS). 1, record 3, French, - Bureau%20de%20l%27int%C3%A9gration%20op%C3%A9rationnelle
