REP13/FH 14 132. Noting the large number of requests for scientific advice from FAO and WHO from this session of the Committee, the Representative of FAO, speaking on behalf of FAO and WHO, expressed appreciation of the Committee’s confidence in the FAO and WHO provision of scientific advice programme. The Representative noted that the advance notice that the Committee had provided on two of the items at its last session, namely the requests for scientific advice in relation to the statistical annex on microbiological criteria and on spices had allowed the organizations to include that work in their programme for 2013. While the Organizations would endeavour to respond to all the requests of the Committee in an expeditious manner the work would however have to be prioritized in terms of the available human and financial resources as well as available data. Recalling the discussions at the 35 th Session of the Commission the Representative highlighted the challenges both organizations faced in terms of resources for the provision of scientific advice and while discussions on how to address these challenges were ongoing the support on Members was critical. The Representative of FAO therefore requested the support of Members for the provision of scientific advice noting that that this could be in the form of the direct provision of financial and in-kind (e.g. human) resources as well as high level support for the FAO and WHO food safety programme, including provision of scientific advice, at the governing bodies of each Organization. DATE AND PLACE OF THE NEXT SESSION (Agenda Item 9) 133. The Committee was informed that the 45 th Session of the CCFH, which was tentatively scheduled, from 11 – 15 November 2013, would be co-hosted by Viet Nam. The exact time and venue would be determined by the host Government in consultation with the Codex Secretariat.
