Many resource persons from Japan, Thailand, ASEAN Secretariat, Food Industry Asia, AETS and FAORAP contributed to the workshop. -

MeetingAdvantages of implementing Codex Alimentarius standards for the Republic of Moldova 2002
Also available in:
No results found.The strategic task in the field of agriculture production, which faced the Republic of Moldova (RM) after gaining its independence, was to provide for the safety and high quality of food products. It was recognized that addressing this problem could serve to promote its goods on world markets. In spite of appearing simple, implementation of this task turned out to be a difficult task as the country had no experience in this type of activity and it had not sought the experienced help of internati onal organizations. Earlier collaboration with the World Health Organization of the United Nations (WHO) had dealt primarily with the organization of health care. Information was not available on the international organizations interested in addressing problems of nutrition, food quality and food safety, as well as problems of food caused diseases on the whole.
