Résumé anglais Office of Parliament for the Evaluation of Scientific and Technological Choices (OPECST) : Scientific Expertise and Politics. The aim of OPECST, created in 1983, was to give Parliament the means of evaluating government decisions in the areas of science and technology. OPECST is an original structure made up of an equal number of representatives from both parliamentary houses and which works only on a commission basis. An independent body functioning on consensus and exercising true powers of clarification, mediation, and influence, its recommendations are increasingly taken into account in scientific and technological decision-making processes, making it the natural interface between the scientific and political worlds.
