No results found.The Seventh and Eighth FAO Regional Conferences for Europe held in Budapest, Hungary, 1971 and in Munich, Germany, 1973, respectively, discussed the role of FAO in agricultural research in Europe and recommended the establishment of a system of voluntary research cooperation under the aegis of FAO. These recommendations were based on the principle that in a period of rapid technological and scientific development, it was difficult for any one institution or country to undertake all necessary sci entific research on any given subject matter. The Conferences recommended the basic purpose and main objectives of the system, namely to: promote voluntary exchange of information and experimental data on selected subject matters; support joint applied research on selected subject matters of common interest according to an accepted methodology, agreed division of tasks and timetable; facilitate voluntary exchange of persons, germplasm and technologies; establish close links between European researchers and institutions working on the same subject and to stimulate interaction; accelerate the transfer of European technology advances to, and cooperation with, developing countries. The present paper briefly reviews development of the system since its inception and activities of networks in the period 1996-98. It focuses on adjustments in programmatic orientation and changes in organizational structures that took place in the period under review. -

MeetingA Mechanism For The Exchange Of Official Information on Food Safety, Animal And Plant Health 2002This 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.
