MeetingMeeting documentEl sistema de alerta rápida para los alimentos que funciona actualmente en la Unión Europea y su posible ampliación a otros países de la región Europea
Elaboración de estrategias armonizadas a escala regional para la seguridad alimentaria y creación de redes de comunicación sobre la inocuidad de los alimentos
2002La globalización del comercio de productos alimenticios es un fenómeno que se intesifica a medida que desaparecen los obstáculos arancelarios y no arancelarios, sobre todo en la Comunidad Europea, donde la creación primero de un mercado común y luego de un mercado único ha permitido la libre circulación de esos productos en el vasto territorio de sus 15 Estados Miembros con más de 300 millones de consumidores. La supresión de los controles sanitarios en las fronteras internas de la Comunidad ha suscitado la necesidad elaborar nuevos instrumentos para impedir la libre circulación de productos peligrosos. El sistema de alerta rápida es uno de esos instrumentos. Los Estados Miembros percibieron enseguida la necesidad de intercambiar información sobre el grado de inocuidad de los productos alimenticios que se comercializaban. El buen funcionamiento del mercado único se basa en la confianza depositada por las autoridades sanitarias nacionales en la capacidad de control de sus homóloga s de la Comunidad y en la transparencia del sistema. La rapidez y precisión de la información sobre los riesgos de los productos de consumo objeto de comercio es una de las condiciones de este buen funcionamiento. -

Book (series)Technical studyLatin America and the Caribbean - Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2023
Statistics and trends
2023Also available in:
The 2023 edition of the Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean presents an update of the data and trends in food security and nutrition in recent years. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and the conflict in Ukraine, as well as the economic slowdown, rising food inflation and income inequality have had an impact on regional figures. The most recent data shows that, between 2021 and 2022, progress was made in reducing hunger and food insecurity in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the progress achieved is far from the targets established to meet SDG 2 of ending hunger. In addition, one in five people in the region cannot access a healthy diet and malnutrition in all its forms, including child stunting, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity continue to be a major challenge. -
