Date and Place of the Next Session

151) The Committee noted that the next Session was tentatively scheduled to be held in Norway in the Spring of 2002, the exact arrangements to be finalized by the host country and the Codex Secretariat.

152) Several delegations indicated that it would be useful to consider the possibility of holding more frequent meetings of the Committee, in view of the considerable workload and especially the importance of the work on the Code of Practice for governments. It was also noted that additional meetings would put additional pressure on the resources of member countries. The Committee noted that the practical implications of holding the next meeting before the Spring of 2002 would be further considered by the host country and the Codex Secretariat.
