Ethics Committee (EC) is a permanent body of EAACI aimed at ensuring high ethical standards in all areas of EAACI activity. These include, but are not necessarily confined to, clinical, scientific and political aspects of allergology and clinical immunology, as well as the conduct of individual members of EAACI and its various committees. All EAACI members are obliged to uphold high ethical standards. The EC may also address behaviour or practice by non-members of EAACI where this affects the image or standing of EAACI.
