We welcome the effort to establish the reduction of food losses and waste as a mean to achieve sustainable food systems.
Looking at point 1 of the proposed issues we would like indicate that other international organizations such as the OECD and Eurostat are also working on the subject. In order to come to an universally valid definition the processes should be harmonized. We suggest a coordination. The contact persons are Mr. Morvarid Bagherzadeh of the OECD, Mr. Rainer Muthmann and Mr. Hartmut Schroer representing Eurostat and Mr. James Lomax of the FAO/UNEP initiative "think.eat.save".
