    On 6 July 2015, a side event to the 38th Session of the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) entitled “FAO GM Foods Platform: recent progress and future directions” was organized at the Centre International de Conférences Geneva, Switzerland. A total of 113 delegates from 49 countries attended the event. This side event provided an opportunity to understand the challenges that Member countries are facing in conducting safety assessment of GM foods. In order to respond to the Codex Members’ needs, FAO would consider providing opportunities for countries to exchange information on emerging issues relevant to the safety assessment of GM foods. As many participants suggested, it is important to strengthen and maintain the fully-populated, value-added and interactive Platform. This calls upon FAO to continue its effort in maintaining and enhancing the Platform and its community.
