APPENDIX IV
RECOMMENDATION OF THE UN CONFERENCE ON HUMAN ENVIRONMENT (Stockholm 5–16 June 1972) OF INTEREST TO THE JOINT FAO/WHO CODEX ALIMENTARIUS COMMISSION

1. Contamination of Food

“Internationally co-ordinated programmes of research and monitoring of food contamination by chemical and biological agents be established and developed jointly by FAO/WHO, taking into account national programmes, and that the results of monitoring be expeditiously assembled, evaluated and made available so as to provide early informattion on rising trends of contamination and on levels that may be considered undesirable or may lead to unsafe human intakes.”

2. International Standards for Pollutants

“It is recommended that increased support be given to the Codex Alimentarius Commission to develop international standards for pollutants in food and a Code of Ethics for international trade, and that the capabilities of the FAO and WHO to assist materially and to guide developing countries in the field of food control be increased.”

3. Use of Pesticides

“It is recommended that Governments, FAO and WHO, in co-operation with UNESCO and IAEA, strengthen and co-ordinate international programmes for integrated pest control and reduction of the harmful effects of agro-chemicals

• Existing international activities for the exchange of information and co-operative research and technical assistance to developing countries should be strengthened to support national programmes described above, with particular reference to:

  • basic research on ecological effects of pesticides and fertilizers (MAB)
  • use of radio-isotope and radiation techniques in studying the fate of pesticides in the environment (Joint IAEA/FAO Division)
  • evaluating the possibilities of using pesticides of biological origin, in substitution for certain chemical insecticides which cause serious disturbances in the environment
  • dose and timing of fertilizers' application and their effects on soil productivity and the environment (FAO)
  • management practices and techniques for integrated pest control, including biological control (FAO/WHO)

  • establishment and/or strengthening of national and regional centres for integrated pest control, particularly in developing countries (FAO/WHO).

• Existing expert committees of FAO and WHO on various aspects of pest control should be periodically convened to:

  • assess recent advances in the relevant fields of research mentioned above

  • review and further develop international guidelines and standards with special reference to national and ecological conditions in relation to the use of chlorinated hydrocarbons, pesticides containing heavy metals and the use and experimentation of biological controls.

• In addition, ad hoc panels of experts should be convened, by FAO, WHO and, where appropriate, IAEA, in order to study specific problems, and facilitate the work of the above committees.”

4. International Trade

“It is also recommended that the Secretary-General ensure:

• that appropriate steps be taken by the existing United Nations organizations to identify the major threats to exports that stem from environmental concerns, their character and severity, and the remedial action that may be envisaged;

• the United Nations system, in co-operation with other governmental and nongovernmental agencies working in this field, should assist governments to develop mutually acceptable common international environmental standards on products which are considered by governments to be of significance in foreign trade. Testing and certification procedures designed to ensure that the products conform to these standards should be such as to avoid arbitrary and discriminatory actions that might affect the trade of developing countries.”

“It is recommended that governments take the necessary steps to ensure that:

• all countries present at the Conference agree not to invoke environmental concerns as a pretext for discriminatory trade policies or for reduced access to markets and recognize further that the burdens of the environmental policies of the industrialized countries should not be transferred, either directly or indirectly, to the developing countries. As a general rule, no country should solve or disregard its environmental problems at the expense of other countries;

• where environmental concerns lead to restrictions on trade, or to stricter environmental standards with negative effects on exports, particularly from developing countries, appropriate measures for compensation should be worked out with the framework of existing contractual and institutional arrangements and any new such arrangements that can be worked out in the future;

• the GATT, among other international organizations, could be used for the examination of the problems, specifically through the recently established Group on Environmental Measures and International Trade and through its general procedures for bilateral and multilateral adjustment of differences;

• whenever possible (i.e. in cases which do not require immediate discontinuation of imports), countries should inform their trading partners in advance about the intended action in order that there might be an opportunity to consult within the GATT Group on Environmental Measures and International Trade, among other international organizations. Assistance in meeting consequences of stricter environmental standards ought to be given in the form of financial or technical assistance for research with the aim to remove the obstacles that the products of developing countries have encountered;

• all countries agree that uniform environmental standards should not be expected to be applied universally by all countries with respect to given industrial processes or products except in those cases where environmental disruption may constitute a concern to other countries. In addition, in order to avoid an impairment of the access of the developing countries to the markets of the industrialized countries due to differential product standards, governments should aim at World-wide harmonization of such standards. Environmental standards should be established at whatever levels are necessary, to safeguard the environment, and should not be aimed at gaining trade advantages.”

APPENDIX V
PROVISIONAL AGENDA FOR THE JOINT FAO/WHO FOOD STANDARDS REGIONAL CONFERENCE FOR AFRICA

1. Elaboration of basic provisions concerning the standardization and control of foodstuffs with a view to facilitating the harmonization of food legislation in Africa.
   i) Rôle of regional/sub-regional bodies, e.g. ASMO, ECA, FAO/WHO/OAU Commission, etc.

2. Inventories of commodities which are of significance in both the export and import trade of African countries and also intra-African trade, with a view to determining the need for international Codex standards or possibly regional or “groups of countries” standards.

3. Assessment of needs in the way of infrastructures of national food control services: laboratory facilities, inspectorate staff, education and training of personnel, etc., and formulation of recommendations aimed at meeting these needs as far as possible, through the means of existing multilateral and bilateral aid-media.

4. Current and planned assistance through projects sponsored by FAO, WHO and other UN Agencies in the field of food legislation, food standards and supporting infrastructure.

5. Consideration of recommendations 78 and 82 of the UN Conference on Human Environment:
   1. food control

   2. monitoring and surveillance of food contaminants

6. Consideration of nominations for a Coordinator for Africa.

APPENDIX VI
SUMMARIZED CONCLUSIONS OF THE SECOND WHO CONSULTATION REGARDING THE DRAFT EUROPEAN REGIONAL STANDARD FOR NATURAL MINERAL WATERS

The experts at the Second WHO Consultation regarding the Draft European Regional Standard for Natural Mineral Waters unanimously agreed to the following conclusions:

1. They found no evidence to support the claim that mineral water has prophylactic properties; while a few pharmacological - but not therapeutic effects have been demonstrated in man, they found no evidence in support of the claim that the oral administration of mineral waters was “favourable to health”;

2. They also observed that most of the data obtained in the course of investigations have been inadequately controlled. On the other hand, they cautioned against possible detrimental effects that might derive from high concentration of certain substances or from radioactivity found in some mineral waters;

3. More generally, the experts stressed that there was a contradiction in the recurrent statement that “mineral waters are not to be considered as drugs and yet are still considered to be of prophylactic or therapeutic value.”

APPENDIX VII
DEFINITIONS OF “PESTICIDE”, “PESTICIDE RESIDUE”, “GOOD AGRICULTURAL PRACTICE IN THE USE OF PESTICIDES” AND “CODEX TOLERANCE (CODEX MAXIMUM RESIDUE LIMIT)” ADOPTED BY THE NINTH SESSION OF THE CODEX ALIMENTARIUS COMMISSION

1. Pesticide

“For the purposes of the Codex Alimentarius, the term ‘pesticide’ means any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing or controlling any pest and includes any substance or mixture of substances intended for use as a plant-growth regulator, defoliant or dessicant. The term excludes fertilizers and antibiotics or other chemicals administered to animals for other purposes such as to stimulate their growth or to modify their reproductive behaviour.”

2. Pesticide Residue

“For the purposes of the Codex Alimentarius, a ‘pesticide residue’ means any substance or substances in food for man or animals resulting from the use of a ‘pesticide’. It also includes any specified derivatives, such as degradation and conversion products, metabolites and reaction products which are considered to be of toxicological significance.”

3. Good Agricultural Practice in the Use of Pesticides

“For the purposes of the Codex Alimentarius, good agricultural practice in the use of pesticides is defined as the officially recommended or authorized usage of pesticides under practical conditions at any stage of production, storage, transport, distribution and processing of food and other agricultural commodities, bearing in mind the variations in requirements within and between regions, and which takes into account the minimum quantities necessary to achieve adequate control, applied in a manner so as to leave a residue which is the smallest amount practicable and which is toxicologically acceptable.”

4. Codex Tolerance (Codex Maximum Residue Limit)

“For the purposes of the Codex Alimentarius, a Codex tolerance or Codex maximum residue limit is the maximum concentration of a pesticide residue that is recommended by the Codex Alimentarius to be legally permitted in or on a food or food commodity. The concentration is expressed in parts by weight of pesticide residue per million parts by weight of the food or food commodity.”

Explanatory Note

In general, a Codex tolerance or Codex maximum residue limit refers to the residue resulting from the use of a pesticide under circumstances designed to protect the food or food commodity against pest attack, according to good agricultural practice (as defined). When a residue results from circumstances not designed to protect the food or food commodity in question against pest attack the maximum concentration recommended is designated as a “practical residue limit”.

In some countries the national tolerances or maximum residue limits have been established to include not only the normal variations in residue levels found in appropriate supervised trials, but also the variations occurring in the sampling error. In other countries the national tolerances or maximum residue limits have been established on the average of the residue levels estimated from appropriate supervised trials. In both instances it is recognized that the higher levels occur only occasionally. This is illustrated by the low occurrence of higher residues in national surveillance programmes.

Where tolerances or maximum residue limits are established at the average, the level at which consignments are rejected is generally higher than this average. This difference recognizes the normal distribution of values in relation to the average level. In those cases where the tolerances or Codex maximum residue limits have been established to include the occasional higher values, consignments exceeding this figure are subject to rejection. The Codex Alimentarius recommendations have taken account of occasional higher values and fall into the latter category.

Unless specifically recommended otherwise, for the purpose of the Codex Alimentarius, the Codex tolerance or Codex maximum residue limit or the practical residue limit shall apply to the food or food commodity at the point of entry into a country or at the first point of entry into trade channels within a country.
