Book (series)Manual / guideCodex Alimentarius Commission Procedural Manual
Thirtieth edition
2025The Procedural Manual of the Codex Alimentarius Commission helps national delegations and international organizations attending as observers, participate effectively in the work of the Joint FAO/WHO Food Standards Programme. It sets out the basic rules of procedure, procedures for the elaboration of Codex standards and related texts, and basic definitions and guidelines for the operation of Codex committees. It also gives the membership of the Codex Alimentarius Commission. The 30th edition of the Codex Procedural Manual continues to work towards a harmonization of language, particularly around synonymous terminology, thus setting precedent for Codex’s other written materials. Specifically, this latest edition contains three changes to "Section 4.6: Risk analysis principles applied by the Codex Committee on Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Foods", 1) a revision of "Annex C: Approach for the extrapolation of maximum residue limits for veterinary drugs to one or more species"; 2) the inclusion of "Annex D: Criteria and procedures for the establishment of action levels for residues of veterinary drugs in food of animal origin resulting from unavoidable and unintentional veterinary drug carryover in non-target animal feed"; and 3) a consequential amendment to paragraph 133, Establishment of priority list. In "Section 5.1: Table of committees, document references and terms of reference", following the decision by the Commission to reactivate the Codex Committee on Cereals, Pulses and Legumes, this committee was moved from “commodity committees (adjourned sine die)” to “commodity committees (active)”. Finally, editorial changes have been made to more consistently apply abbreviations and provide more accurate cross-referencing by numbering subsections.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookIPTRID No.7 Modernizing Irrigated Agriculture in the Near East 2009
Also available in:
The Near East is one of the most water scarce regions in the world. Water resources were mobilized only recently. There was a rapid irrigation development but also problematic sharing of the water resources leading to political tension and mobilizing the international community. This document describes the efforts carried out by the French cooperation from 1993 to 2007 through the Regional Mission for Water and Agriculture (MREA). The originality of the approach, based on action research , in contact with the field, is described here with concrete cases: support for the upgrading of the Jordan Valley Irrigation system, improving distribution at plot level, economic value of food production, wastewater reuse in Gaza and water balance at basin level. An assessment of the Mission completed by a Rapid Appraisal Procedure of FAO had confirmed that a margin of progress is possible in the management of irrigation and has suggested ways for local partners (NGOs and universitie s) to carry out these efforts of modernization. -
