    In Ensuring safe food and fair trade: how Latin American and Caribbean countries are teaming up to close data gaps for Codex MRLs, we learn about a consortium set up by countries in Latin America, to resolve the issue of unsupported veterinary drug compounds. Many of the drugs used in the region are out of patent and made by "generic" companies that have no interest in gathering the data needed to develop relevant Codex standards (known as maximum residue limits, or MRLs). The consortium work being done in this region may well inspire others seeking solutions to similar problems. The Codex Alimentarius is the collection of standards, guidelines and codes of practice adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission to protect consumer health and facilitate fair practices in the food trade. These texts can only protect consumers and facilitate fair trade practices when they are implemented. In this and similar stories, we detail examples of how Codex Members make use of Codex texts and the value they place in Codex work.

    The Eighth FAO Expert Advisory Panel for the Assessment of Proposals to Amend Appendices I and II of CITES Concerning Commercially-Exploited Aquatic Species was convened in response to the agreement by the Twenty-Fifth Session of the FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI) on the Terms of Reference for an expert advisory panel for assessment of proposals to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), and following endorsement from the Twenty-Sixth Session of COFI to convene the Expert Panel for relevant proposals to future CITES Conference of the Parties. The objectives of the Expert Panel were to i) assess each proposal from a scientific perspective in accordance with the CITES biological listing criteria (Resolution Conf. 9.24 [Rev. CoP17]); and ii) comment, as appropriate, on technical aspects of the proposal in relation to biology, ecology, trade and management issues, as well as, to the extent possible, the likely effectiveness for conservation.
