Wow this is fantastic that you are asking for our input for such an important (and comprehensive) document with eminent authors.

When and where will it be published?

wow they have the diet and acne link in it. But I think more should be dedicated to it. Instead of just saying that its being studied lately. At least say what it means (the studies)... (Introducing a milk free, low GI diet might reduce acne noticeable in some, but in average it wont result in help with acne that much. It might be something worth trying for people whose regular treatments arent working. -But then better formulated of course ) Or at least that the diet and acne connection isnt a myth but that it doesnt contribute to acne enough to make it a viable treatment (so that doctors/dermatologists who have read this dont look at you like you believe in witchery when you talk about a diet-acne correlation.)
There arent just those 2 studies there are already more of them. I might do the suggestion in the document somewhere. Or suggest some more studies links.

Ye was wondering that to biggs. Also was wondering that biggs881.
So this is really something authorized/requested by the EU?

I don't know if the European Union is involved with this, but this group has previous guideline articles:
