efsa_tools

Overview

The efsa_tools package brings together all the functions developed for EFSA's ad hoc data collections, providing tools for dataset operations as well as utilities designed to preserve data history.

The package is intended for researchers, analysts, and practitioners who require convenient programmatic access to data collection utilities.
