    A regional training workshop entitled “Enhancing Effective Participation in Codex Activities in ASEAN Countries” as a part of the FAO regional project “Support for Capacity Building for International Food Safety Standard Development and Implementation in ASEAN Countries (GCP/RAS/295/JPN)” was held on 9-11 January 2017 in Bangkok, Thailand. The five-year regional project was launched in February 2016 with financial assistance from the Government of Japan. The project has already carried out significant activities, including the organizing of two national training courses in Lao PDR and Myanmar, and the identification of the current conditions/baselines and challenges on the implementation of international/national standards in each ASEAN country. Main objectives of the regional workshop were to provide participants with: 1) an enhanced understanding of the impact of Codex standards on international trade, structure and function of Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC), up-to-date information of recent Codex meetings, food safety risk analysis and risk assessment including the role of scientific expert bodies such as JECFA, JMPR and JEMRA, 2) An opportunity to share knowledge and experience on current national Codex activities in ASEAN countries, and 3) Training on development of regional/national positions through mock sessions to enhance participants’ capacity to contribute effectively to Codex work. 29 participants from ten ASEAN countries from the agencies mainly responsible for food safety control with regard to standard development and implementation as well as the work of the Codex have attended. Many resource persons from Japan, Thailand, ASEAN Secretariat, Food Industry Asia, AETS and FAORAP contributed to the workshop.

    Advantages 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.
