    A Mechanism For The Exchange Of Official Information on Food Safety, Animal And Plant Health 2002
    Also available in:
    This paper describes an FAO initiative to provide a single mechanism - the Biosecurity Portal - for the exchange of official information on food safety, animal and plant health, as related to the FAO mandate. Information will be provided from national and international agencies maintaining 'ownership' of the information. FAO will provide the mechanism and technical support for the Portal so that official information can be made available and readily accessed in a coordinated way. Examples of the type of information that could be accessible via the Biosecurity Portal are given, as is the likely technical assistance that FAO could provide to facilitate this. Access to the Biosecurity Portal will be widely available and free, although certain areas may be developed with restricted access limited to Member countries. It is Internet based to ensure wide usage and cost effectiveness.

    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.
