The FLW Platform is an informal Commission expert group, which will be composed of a maximum of 70 members representing the public and private sectors. It will include competent authorities from member states, EU umbrella organisations and federations involved in food waste prevention, NGOs, and EU bodies (e.g. Committee of Regions).
