Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
It is indeed a pleasure for me to greet you here in FAO Headquarters in Rome and to extend to you, also on behalf of the Director-General of the World Health Organization, a warm welcome to the Seventeenth Session of the Codex Alimentarius Commission.
25 years of the Commission
The Codex Alimentarius Commission was established in 1962 by decisions of the Conference of FAO and the Executive Board of WHO with the purpose of ensuring fair practices in international trade and protecting the health of the consumer. It has in the intervening period established itself as the international forum for elaborating standards for foods moving in international trade and for providing guidance to countries wishing to create their own national food laws and regulations. The Commission is now entering its 25th year and is able to look back on the elaboration of more than 200 individual commodity standards, 35 codes of hygienic and technological practice and approximately 2,000 Maximum Residue Limits for pesticides. The impact of this work on the quality and safety of foods has helped to upgrade food manufacturing and processing standards all over the world.
Over these 25 years, the Commission has shown great flexibility in its approach to problems. For example, it changed its rules of procedure for the elaboration of standards to take into account the economic impact that individual standards may have, especially upon the commerce of the developing countries. It has discontinued the meetings of committees which have completed their tasks and created new ones to address new problems and priorities. It has established Regional Coordinating Committees, whose task is to define the problems and needs of each region concerning food standards and food control. The Regional Coordinating Committees have been given the prime responsibility of promoting the coordination of all food standards works undertaken by inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations within the region in accordance with the Commission's Statutes. The Regional Committees have proved to be an important element in extending the work of the Commission to developing countries, and ensuring that the developing countries are not excluded from the decision-making process of the Commission.
The Commission, in 25, years has grown from the original 30 countries which were present at its First Session, to 130 member countries today. I would like to recommend the Commission to complete its membership, by inviting those few remaining countries that are eligible to join to do so. The benefits obtained through membership of the Commission are considerable. Through membership of the Commission, the smaller and least-developed countries have access to the combined experience and knowledge of experts throughout the world, and can clearly inform all other countries of the levels of food quality and safety they are willing to accept.
Future directions
Appropriately, in its 25th year, the Commission is examining its future direction of its work, and its impact on the important areas of food security, trade and health. During the course of this year, your Secretariat has submitted reports to FAO's Committee on Agriculture and to the World Health Assembly. In both cases the activities of your Commission were warmly supported, and the Commission was called upon to strengthen its work in the major areas which are common to all foods, such as the use of food additives, and the control of pesticide residues, residues of veterinary drugs and contaminants from all sources. Equally, reference was made to the application of harmonized food labelling requirements, the use of acceptable hygienic practices during processing, storage and distribution of foods, and the coordination of work on appropriate methods of food analysis and sampling. Most of you will be aware of the trend in many countries towards reducing the emphasis on individual standards of identity and purity for foods, and should consider how this will affect the nature of the Commission's work in the future, and how the work on general subject areas can be strengthened.
Increasing participation of developing countries
It has been heartening to note that the participation of developing countries in the work of the Commission is constantly increasing, even more so in the past few years. This is a reflection on the Commission's increased attention to the problems of developing countries and the realization by these countries of the importance of food quality and standards programmes in their national development programmes. To underline this realization, a developing country, Mexico, has offered, for the first time, to accept the financial and administrative responsibilities involved in taking up the Chairmanship of a Codex Committee. This marks a major new step forward in extending the work of your Commission to take into account the interests of agricultural producers at a world-wide level. Standards cannot be genuinely agreed and accepted if there is no real opportunity for producers and exporters to meet and discuss their problems with consumers and importers in a common forum. This has been a basic principle of the Codex Alimentarius Commission over the past 25 years, and I applaud the initiative of the Mexican Government to extend this to the commercial standardization of fresh tropical fruits and vegetables.
Need for adequate food control infrastructure
Mr. Chairman, FAO recognizes that international standards and codes will not in themselves achieve the desired objectives when most of the developing part of the world lacks an adequate food control infrastructure to implement them. Many developing countries have inadequate capability to apply standards, and protect their consumers and food supply. Because national food control programmes are an essential part of food security programmes and national development strategies, FAO has taken the lead in helping countries build up their systems for food control, particularly the establishment or updating of food laws and regulations, strengthening food laboratories and inspection services, and the formulation of national strategies for the control of food quality, human resource development, the monitoring of food contaminants, improving food protection and related educational activities. These activities have been and will continue to be important components of FAO's programme. I should also like to emphasize the importance of the Codex Regional Coordinating Committees in providing a link between the work of the Commission and FAO's assistance to developing member countries.
Role of food standards in food security and trade
Access to safe food is equally important as physical and economic access to food. Contaminated, adulterated or infested foods can cause significant health and nutrition problems or consumer rejection leading in extreme cases to social unrest and distrust. Food control programmes, including food standards development, are considered as essential elements in national strategies for achieving the major goal of food security. Another important element for establishing food security is free and equal access to world commercial markets. The FAO Conference in 1983 adopted a resolution calling on all countries to work for a liberalization of trade and a reduction of protectionist measures. The Codex Alimentarius Commission plays a vital role in combatting technical barriers to trade through the development of an international concensus on standards. This role is formally recognized by the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and in fact, the Commission is the only international body specifically mentioned in the GATT Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade in this regard.
Formal acceptance of Codex standards
Both the GATT Agreement and the Commission's own rules call upon countries to notify formal acceptance of Codex standards. This is an integral part of the Commission's work and must not be neglected. Both the Committee on Agriculture and the World Health Assembly urged that greater efforts be made in regard to acceptance through the formal acceptance procedures. Although I am aware that the Commission's work has provided the basis for the development of standards in many countries, which, of course, was always foreseen, it is the formal acceptance by countries which is the real marker of the success of the Commission in achieving its stated objectives. There are many reasons which have been given for not accepting Codex standards and most of these do not include, or even imply, a rejection of these standards or a fundamental disagreement with the aims of the Codex Alimentarius. Why then, is it not possible to achieve greater cooperation in the acceptance of Codex standards? It is paradoxical that many of the countries which have been most active in the Commission in proposing and elaborating new standards, and in ensuring that the provisions of the standards take into account their own national situation have failed to accept the output of this work. I call upon this session of the Commission to consider this problem seriously and to propose new and innovative measures which will lead to a greater realization of the benefits of accepting Codex Standards by those governments which have already invested a great deal of time and money in reaching concensus on the individual requirements recommended by the Commission.
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
You are all aware of the financial crises which have shaken the United Nations system. FAO and WHO have not been untouched by these problems, but FAO's financial commitment to the Commission remains unchanged. I am pleased to give you this assurance, dependent as it is on the final decision of the FAO Conference. There will, of course, be a need for savings because of the substantial changes in currency alignments over the past two years which have very much decreased the purchasing power of the US Dollar in Italy. I am sure that you realize that expenses in Italian Lire form a very large proportion of the costs of producing, printing and distributing Codex working documents and reports. Your Secretariat will be seeking to reduce the size and number of these documents and reports in the next biennium, which will result in needed savings and allow increased emphasis to be placed on the publication of final Codex texts and the notification of acceptances.
Radionuclides contamination of food
The past year has also seen significant problems created in international agricultural and food trade by the explosion and fire at the nuclear power plant at Chernobyl. Most of these problems were due to the lack of clear and coherent international guidelines for the control of radionuclide contamination of foods. Following the requests of many member nations for advice on actions to be taken, especially in regard to imports of food from the affected areas, FAO convened an Expert Consultation on Recommended Limits for Radionuclide Contamination of Foods. Experts in radiological protection, food control and analysis, and export inspection certification met to determine if a simple, uniform set of guidelines could be recommended for use in international trade. The interim International Radionuclide Action Levels for Foods, which were recommended by the Expert Consultation are being presented for your information at this meeting. These interim levels have already found use in international trade, and are being used by the World Food Programme to facilitate their operations. Although none of us would wish for another accident with the impact that Chernobyl had on food and agricultural trade, it is important that we are not faced once again with the chaotic situation of 1986. The Codex Alimentarius Commission is the world-wide body responsible for food standards, including maximum levels for food contaminants, and I call upon you to make special efforts to provide the necessary guidance to member countries in this regard.
The challenges facing this, the Seventeenth Session of the Commission are substantial. I invite you to consider and discuss them in an constructive and innovative manner. I wish you a most successful Session.
