Les ressorts de l’autorité de la HAS : indépendance et expertise

Abstract

As an independent public authority with scientific status, the French Haute Autorité de santé does not have regulatory powers. It mainly provides recommendations or opinions, which are soft law standards. Its authority is therefore based above all on the compliance of the recipients of these standards, which can only be achieved on a dual condition: the probity of the experts and the quality of the expertise.
