REP11/CAC 7ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA (Agenda Item 1) 17. The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted <strong>the</strong> Provisional Agenda as its Agenda for <strong>the</strong> session. The <strong>Commission</strong> agreedto discuss <strong>the</strong> replies from Coordinating Committees presented under Agenda Item 10 in CX/CAC 11/34/10under Agenda Item 9 when discussing <strong>the</strong> proposals for discontinuation <strong>of</strong> work.REPORT BY THE CHAIRPERSON ON THE 65 TH SESSION OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE(Agenda Item 2) 28. In accordance with Rule V.7 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Rules <strong>of</strong> Procedure, <strong>the</strong> Chairperson reported to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> on<strong>the</strong> outcome <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 65 th <strong>Session</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Executive Committee and noted that <strong>the</strong> Committee had developedexcellent experience and efficiency in <strong>the</strong> exercise <strong>of</strong> its functions, especially <strong>the</strong> critical review <strong>of</strong> standardsdevelopment and new work proposals.9. The <strong>Commission</strong> was informed that <strong>the</strong> Executive Committee, while considering budgetary and financialmatters, had decided that it did not need to meet systematically between <strong>the</strong> sessions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong>. Ithad considered <strong>the</strong> implementation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Strategic Plan 2008-2013 and <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> StrategicPlan 2014-2019 and agreed to consider a revised draft at its next session in February 2012. It was noted that<strong>the</strong> recommendations made by <strong>the</strong> Executive Committee on specific questions would be considered under <strong>the</strong>relevant Agenda Items.REPORTS OF FAO/WHO REGIONAL COORDINATING COMMITTEES (Agenda Item 3) 3FAO/WHO Coordinating Committee for Africa (CCAFRICA)10. The Coordinator for Africa (Ghana) informed <strong>the</strong> Committee that <strong>the</strong> 19 th CCAFRICA had discussedseveral matters including <strong>the</strong> implementation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> Strategic Plan 2008-2013; guidance on <strong>the</strong> newproposed Strategic Plan; <strong>the</strong> implementation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> strategic plan for CCAFRICA and o<strong>the</strong>r itemscomplementary to <strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong> <strong>Codex</strong>, such as <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> Trust Fund and also exchanged information onnational food control systems. The Coordinator expressed its appreciation to FAO and WHO, and <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong>Trust Fund, amongst o<strong>the</strong>rs. for <strong>the</strong>ir support to countries in <strong>the</strong> Africa region.FAO/WHO Coordinating Committee for Asia (CCASIA)11. The Coordinator for Asia (Indonesia) informed <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> that <strong>the</strong> 17 th CCASIA had finalized tworegional standards for adoption at Step 8 and Step 5/8, which would be considered by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> inlater agenda items. The <strong>Session</strong> also considered <strong>the</strong> Strategic Plan 2008 – 2013, <strong>the</strong> preparation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>Strategic Plan 2013 – 2018 and Strategic Plan for CCASIA, and nominated Japan as new regionalcoordinator.FAO/WHO Coordinating Committee for Europe (CCEURO)12. The Coordinator for Europe (Poland) informed <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> that <strong>the</strong> 27 th CCEURO, whileconsidering <strong>the</strong> preparation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new Strategic Plan, had proposed an amendment to Goal 2 to reflect thatrisk management was not only based on science, that o<strong>the</strong>r legitimate factors should be better defined andthat guidance was necessary on <strong>the</strong>ir application. The Committee had expressed <strong>the</strong> views that workinggroups should remain open to all members and observers, and its opposition to <strong>the</strong> adoption <strong>of</strong> MRLs forractopamine as currently proposed. It had proposed new work on <strong>the</strong> revision <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Regional Standard forFresh Fungus Chanterelles and on a standard for ayran. Poland had been nominated as Coordinator for asecond term and o<strong>the</strong>r countries had expressed interest in co-hosting <strong>the</strong> Committee. Prior to <strong>the</strong> Committee,a workshop on Food Safety Risk Analysis: developing national food safety systems and <strong>Codex</strong> standards wasorganised by FAO, WHO and Poland with <strong>the</strong> support <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> Trust Fund, and all relevant informationwas available on <strong>the</strong> website <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CCEURO www.cceuro.pl.FAO/WHO Coordinating Committee for Latin America and <strong>the</strong> Caribbean (CCLAC)13. The Coordinator for Latin America and <strong>the</strong> Caribbean (Mexico) gave a summary <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> main pointsdiscussed at <strong>the</strong> 17 th CCLAC, e.g. consideration <strong>of</strong> regional standards, that it was not necessary to discuss123CX/CAC 11/34/1REP 11/EXECREP11/AFRICA, REP11/ASIA, REP11/EURO, REP11/LAC, REP11/NEA, REP11/NASWP


10 REP11/CACProcessed Fruits and Vegetables (CCPFV)Proposed Draft Standard for Desiccated Coconut (revision <strong>of</strong> CODEX STAN 177-1991) 827. The Chair <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Committee indicated that <strong>the</strong> Committee on Food Labelling had not endorsed <strong>the</strong> term“reduced oil desiccated coconut”, <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> product for desiccated coconut from which oil had beenpartially extracted, as <strong>the</strong> term “reduced” could be understood as a nutrient claim or as a modification <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>standardized common name which could mislead consumers. In order to match <strong>the</strong> provisions in <strong>the</strong>Standard with <strong>the</strong> decision <strong>of</strong> CCFL, <strong>the</strong>re was a need to adjust two provisions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Standard namely <strong>the</strong>definition <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> product (section 2.1.2) and oil content (section 3.1.4c) as indicated in CRD 9 whilemaintaining <strong>the</strong> scope covering <strong>the</strong> two products i.e. desiccated coconut and desiccated coconut from whichoil had been partially extracted.28. Based on this explanation, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> agreed to adopt <strong>the</strong> Standard at Step 5/8 with <strong>the</strong>amendments as indicated above.Proposed Draft Annex on Certain Mushrooms (revision <strong>of</strong> CODEX STAN 55-1981) (for inclusion in <strong>the</strong><strong>Codex</strong> Standard for Certain Canned Vegetables) 929. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Egypt indicated that it applied a maximum level <strong>of</strong> 10 g/kg for monosodiumglutamate as opposed to good manufacturing practice as indicated in <strong>the</strong> Annex and endorsed by <strong>the</strong>Committee on Food Additives.30. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> European Union expressed its reservation on <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> monosodium glutamate asflavour enhancer in canned mushrooms in regular pack (brine) as it could mask poor quality <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> rawmaterial and could lead to misleading consumers as to <strong>the</strong> nature <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> product and also expressed itsreservation on <strong>the</strong> colouring agent caramel IV due to safety concerns. The Delegations <strong>of</strong> Norway andSwitzerland also expressed <strong>the</strong>ir reservation on <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> colours as <strong>the</strong>y could mask poor quality <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> rawmaterial and <strong>the</strong>re was no technological justification for <strong>the</strong>ir use. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Kenya expressed itsreservation on <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> monosodium glutamate as flavour enhancer in canned mushrooms.31. The <strong>Commission</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore adopted <strong>the</strong> Annex at Step 5/8 with <strong>the</strong> reservations as indicated above.Proposed Draft Standard for Canned Bamboo Shoots (revision <strong>of</strong> CODEX STAN 241-2003) 1032. The <strong>Commission</strong> noted that methods <strong>of</strong> analysis for mineral impurities should be removed as <strong>the</strong>re wasno corresponding provision in <strong>the</strong> Standard. In addition, methods <strong>of</strong> analysis for contaminants (lead andcadmium) should be removed as <strong>the</strong>re were no provisions for maximum levels for <strong>the</strong>se contaminants incanned foods in <strong>the</strong> General Standard for Contaminants and Toxins in Food and Feed. Also methods <strong>of</strong>analysis for tin should be removed subject to fur<strong>the</strong>r consultation as regards <strong>the</strong> methods <strong>of</strong> analysisproposed between <strong>the</strong> Committees on Methods <strong>of</strong> Analysis and Sampling and on Processed Fruits andVegetables.33. Based on <strong>the</strong> above considerations, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> adopted <strong>the</strong> Standard at Step 5/8 with <strong>the</strong>amendment to <strong>the</strong> methods <strong>of</strong> analysis section.Coordinating Committee for Latin America and <strong>the</strong> Caribbean (CCLAC)Proposed Draft Regional Standard for Culantro Coyote 1134. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Colombia expressed its reservation on <strong>the</strong> absence <strong>of</strong> provisions for excessive externalmoisture, which could give rise to higher percentages <strong>of</strong> moisture in <strong>the</strong> final product (section 2.1) and might<strong>the</strong>refore affect <strong>the</strong> safety <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> product. The Delegation also expressed its reservation on external moisturefor broken/split leaves in class II (section 2.2) which was higher than those usually applying in <strong>Codex</strong>standards for fresh fruits and vegetables and might <strong>the</strong>refore affect <strong>the</strong> quality <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> product.35. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Costa Rica, as leading country <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> working group on <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> thisStandard in <strong>the</strong> CCLAC, explained that <strong>the</strong>se concerns were clarified at <strong>the</strong> last session <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Committeewhere members <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> region present at that session agreed, with <strong>the</strong> reservation <strong>of</strong> Colombia, to forward <strong>the</strong>Standard for final adoption by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong>.891011REP11/PFV, para. 45, Appendix IIIREP11/PFV, para. 84, Appendix IV.REP11/PFV, para. 95, Appendix V.REP11/LAC, para. 60, Appendix II.


REP11/CAC 1136. The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted <strong>the</strong> Standard at Step 5/8, noting <strong>the</strong> reservation <strong>of</strong> Colombia.Proposed Draft Regional Standard for Lucuma 1237. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Colombia expressed its reservation on <strong>the</strong> combination <strong>of</strong> sizing and quality classes(section 3) and <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> seeds as a quality parameter to determine <strong>the</strong> different quality classes (section2.2). The Delegation fur<strong>the</strong>r commented on certain provisions that should be aligned with <strong>the</strong> format usuallyapplying across <strong>Codex</strong> standards for fresh fruits and vegetables.38. The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted <strong>the</strong> Standard at Step 5/8, noting <strong>the</strong> reservation <strong>of</strong> Colombia.Coordinating Committee for Asia (CCASIA)Proposed Draft Regional Standard for Chilli Sauce 1339. The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted <strong>the</strong> proposed draft regional standard at Step 5/8 with <strong>the</strong> omission <strong>of</strong> Steps 6and 7, with <strong>the</strong> amendments proposed by <strong>the</strong> CCFA 14 and <strong>the</strong> CCFL 15 .Food Hygiene (CCFH)Proposed Draft Guideline for <strong>the</strong> Control <strong>of</strong> Campylobacter and Salmonella spp in Chicken Meat 1640. The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted <strong>the</strong> Proposed Draft Guideline and noted that <strong>the</strong> science-based Guidelinestoge<strong>the</strong>r with <strong>the</strong> web-based tool developed by FAO/WHO would provide valuable guidance to countries toensure safe production <strong>of</strong> chicken. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> European Union welcomed <strong>the</strong> finalization <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>Guidelines and thanked all delegations for <strong>the</strong>ir openness which allowed an agreement to be reached on <strong>the</strong>use <strong>of</strong> chemical decontaminants. It is <strong>the</strong> European Union’s view that according to this agreement, <strong>the</strong>competent authority responsible at any step <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> food chain, including in <strong>the</strong> country <strong>of</strong> consumption, canrequest that <strong>the</strong> substances used for decontamination are submitted for <strong>the</strong>ir approval.Proposed Draft Revision <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Recommended International Code <strong>of</strong> Hygienic Practice for Collecting,Processing and Marketing <strong>of</strong> Natural Mineral Waters (CAC/RCP 33-1985) 1741. The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted <strong>the</strong> proposed draft revision with editorial amendments. The <strong>Commission</strong>fur<strong>the</strong>r noted that subsequent to this adoption, Section 4.4 Microbiological Criteria <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Standard forNatural Mineral Waters (CODEX STAN 108-1981) would be amended to replace <strong>the</strong> currentmicrobiological requirements with a reference to <strong>the</strong> revised Code (see Agenda Item 8).Fats and Oils (CCFO)Draft Amendment to <strong>the</strong> Standard for Named Vegetable Oils: Inclusion <strong>of</strong> Palm Kernel Olein and PalmKernel Stearin 1842. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Egypt expressed <strong>the</strong> view that <strong>the</strong> reference to crude oils should be clarified as <strong>the</strong>standard was intended to cover edible oils.43. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Malaysia, speaking as Chair <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Committee on Fats and Oils (CCFO), clarified that<strong>the</strong> term “crude” is used in relation to many oils obtained through mechanical procedures described inSection 2.2.2 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Standard for Named Vegetable Oils, and recalled that <strong>the</strong> Committee had unanimouslyagreed to forward <strong>the</strong> draft amendment for adoption.44. The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted <strong>the</strong> Draft Amendment as proposed by <strong>the</strong> CCFO and noted <strong>the</strong> reservation <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> Delegation <strong>of</strong> Egypt.Code <strong>of</strong> Practice for <strong>the</strong> Storage and Transport <strong>of</strong> Edible Fats and Oils in Bulk: Draft Criteria to Assess<strong>the</strong> Acceptability <strong>of</strong> Substances for Inclusion in a List <strong>of</strong> Acceptable Previous Cargoes 1945. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Colombia proposed that <strong>the</strong> third criterion should read “The substance should not beor contain a known food allergen” deleting <strong>the</strong> second part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sentence “unless <strong>the</strong> identified food1213141516171819REP11/LAC, para. 67, Appendix IIIREP11/ASIA, para. 76, Appendix IIIREP11/FA, paras 33, 34 and Appendix IIREP11/FL, para. 19REP11/FH, para. 63, Appendix IIIREP11/FH, para. 116, Appendix VREP 11/FO, para. 30, Appendix IIREP 11/FO, para. 40, Appendix III


12 REP11/CACallergen can be adequately removed by subsequent processing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fat or oil for its intended use” as it wasnot clear what process would be used to remove <strong>the</strong> allergen.46. The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted <strong>the</strong> Draft Criteria as proposed by <strong>the</strong> CCFO and noted <strong>the</strong> reservation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>Delegation <strong>of</strong> Colombia.Code <strong>of</strong> Practice for <strong>the</strong> Storage and Transport <strong>of</strong> Edible Fats and Oils in Bulk: Draft and Proposed DraftLists <strong>of</strong> Acceptable Previous Cargoes 2047. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> United States expressed its opposition to <strong>the</strong> adoption <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Draft and ProposedDraft Lists and proposed to return <strong>the</strong>m to <strong>the</strong> Committee on Fats and Oils for <strong>the</strong> following reasons; <strong>the</strong>Committee had worked for almost 20 years without achieving consensus on <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> lists; at<strong>the</strong> last CCFO session, <strong>the</strong> discussion in <strong>the</strong> in-session working group and <strong>the</strong> plenary reflected deep divisionamong delegates and indicated that consensus could not be reached; <strong>the</strong> lack <strong>of</strong> criteria for <strong>the</strong> evaluation <strong>of</strong>substances has been a significant problem in finalising <strong>the</strong> lists; for this reason, <strong>the</strong> FAO/WHO TechnicalMeeting developed criteria which were used to elaborate <strong>the</strong> final criteria just adopted at <strong>the</strong> present session,however, <strong>the</strong> proposed list <strong>of</strong> substances does not meet <strong>the</strong>se criteria, and in particular <strong>the</strong> second criterion,as <strong>the</strong>y lack an ADI or <strong>the</strong> existing ADI is limited only to flavour use and is not applicable to contaminantsfrom previous cargoes; this raises concern because <strong>the</strong> basis for developing criteria was to use <strong>the</strong>m toevaluate <strong>the</strong> substances for inclusion in <strong>the</strong> lists. The Delegation pointed out that failure to adopt <strong>the</strong>se listswould not disadvantage countries lacking <strong>the</strong> resources to perform <strong>the</strong>ir own safety assessment, since lists <strong>of</strong>acceptable cargoes are already effectively maintained by several organisations and publicly available. TheDelegation indicated that should <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> adopt <strong>the</strong> lists, <strong>the</strong> CCFO should be requested to take up asan immediate priority a review <strong>of</strong> all <strong>the</strong> substances against <strong>the</strong> criteria.48. Several delegations supported this view and expressed concern with <strong>the</strong> maintenance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> lists and <strong>the</strong>fact that several substances on <strong>the</strong> lists did not meet <strong>the</strong> criteria which had just been adopted.49. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Malaysia, speaking as Chair <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Committee on Fats and Oils, recalled that <strong>the</strong>re hadbeen ample opportunity for countries to discuss this issue, that <strong>the</strong> points raised by <strong>the</strong> United States werethoroughly discussed and that many delegations supported <strong>the</strong> advancement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> lists for <strong>the</strong> followingreasons: <strong>the</strong>y would benefit especially developing countries as <strong>the</strong>y lack <strong>the</strong> technical competence andresources to develop <strong>the</strong>ir own lists; <strong>the</strong>se substances were currently used as acceptable previous cargoes infats and oils trade and recognised as safe; national trade lists are developed only with input at national levelas compared to a <strong>Codex</strong> list developed at <strong>the</strong> international level; and <strong>the</strong> absence <strong>of</strong> internationalharmonisation could result in barriers to trade. The Delegation also recalled that <strong>the</strong> CCFO had been given<strong>the</strong> mandate <strong>of</strong> developing <strong>the</strong> lists <strong>of</strong> acceptable previous cargoes when <strong>the</strong> Code <strong>of</strong> Practice was adoptedwith <strong>the</strong> Lists <strong>of</strong> Banned Immediate Previous Cargoes (1999) and that <strong>the</strong> 62 nd <strong>Session</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ExecutiveCommittee had recommended that <strong>the</strong> CCFO should complete its work by 2011, and <strong>the</strong>refore stronglysupported <strong>the</strong> adoption <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> lists.50. Many delegations supported <strong>the</strong> adoption <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> lists for <strong>the</strong> above reasons. It was noted that very limitedchanges had been made to existing lists developed by o<strong>the</strong>r bodies over <strong>the</strong> years and <strong>the</strong>refore it was notexpected that frequent updates would be needed. It was also noted that <strong>the</strong> Code specified that <strong>the</strong> list wassubject to review and possible amendments to take into account scientific developments (Note (3) to <strong>the</strong>Draft Lists.51. The Representative <strong>of</strong> WHO recalled that it was not possible for JECFA to evaluate all substances on <strong>the</strong>lists, and proposed that <strong>the</strong> Committee should use <strong>the</strong> criteria to assess <strong>the</strong> acceptability <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> substances,with <strong>the</strong> understanding that if concerns were identified, specific advice could be requested on a case-by-casebasis to FAO/WHO with <strong>the</strong> support <strong>of</strong> adequate data.52. The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted <strong>the</strong> Draft List at Step 8 and <strong>the</strong> Proposed Draft List at Step 5/8 and directed <strong>the</strong>Committee on Fats and Oils to review <strong>the</strong> lists against <strong>the</strong> criteria adopted at <strong>the</strong> present session as a matter<strong>of</strong> priority, to identify <strong>the</strong> most critical substances for review by JECFA, taking into account <strong>the</strong> limitations<strong>of</strong> JECFA resources and <strong>the</strong> availability <strong>of</strong> data.20REP 11/FO, para. 47, Appendix IV


REP11/CAC 13Methods <strong>of</strong> Analysis and Sampling (CCMAS)Methods <strong>of</strong> Analysis in <strong>Codex</strong> Standards at Different Steps 2153. The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted <strong>the</strong> methods <strong>of</strong> analysis as proposed with <strong>the</strong> amendments proposed byArgentina 22 .54. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Colombia requested to include some methods <strong>of</strong> analysis for natural mineral waters.The Chair <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CCMAS clarified that some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> proposed methods which met <strong>the</strong> criteria had beenincluded and any methods could be used if <strong>the</strong>y met <strong>the</strong> criteria.Food Additives (CCFA)Draft and Proposed Draft Food Additive Provisions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> General Standard for Food Additives (GSFA) 2355. The <strong>Commission</strong> noted that a number <strong>of</strong> delegations supported <strong>the</strong> deletion <strong>of</strong> note 16 “For use in glaze,coatings or decorations for fruit, vegetables, meat or fish” in <strong>the</strong> provision for carotenoids in food category9.1.1 “Fresh fish” because, in <strong>the</strong>ir views, this use could mislead consumers. In this regard, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong>also noted <strong>the</strong> concern expressed by <strong>the</strong> Committee on Fish and Fishery Products that glazings with colourswere used to falsify fresh fish and to mislead <strong>the</strong> consumer about <strong>the</strong> freshness <strong>of</strong> fish and fishery products. 2456. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> United States <strong>of</strong> America, supported by Australia, supported <strong>the</strong> retention <strong>of</strong> note16 and clarified that <strong>the</strong>se will not used for injecting colours into <strong>the</strong> products but were used for surfacecoating. They recalled <strong>the</strong> recommendations <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 58 th session <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Executive Committee, endorsed by <strong>the</strong>28 th session <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong>, that “<strong>the</strong> GSFA should be <strong>the</strong> single authoritative reference point for foodadditives and this should be made clear in all commodity standards 25 ”. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Norway, speakingas Chair <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CCFFP, recalled that food additive provisions in commodity standards should be consideredas regards technological justification in <strong>the</strong> relevant committees, that <strong>the</strong>se additives were considered in <strong>the</strong>CCFFP and, as no technological justification was found, <strong>the</strong> Committee had recommended that <strong>the</strong> note bedeleted.57. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> European Union proposed to replace notes O1 “Excluding pasta containingvegetables” and note P “For use in pasta made from Triticum aestivum, and for use in noodles” with note P1“For use in noodles only” in <strong>the</strong> provision for beta-carotenes, vegetable in food category 06.4.2 “Dried pastasand noodles and like products”. This proposal was supported by o<strong>the</strong>r delegations which noted that it wasconsistent with <strong>the</strong> approach for <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r colours in this food category.58. The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted <strong>the</strong> draft and proposed draft food additive provisions as proposed by <strong>the</strong>CCFA with <strong>the</strong> following amendments:• Deletion <strong>of</strong> note 16 “For use in glaze, coatings or decorations for fruit, vegetables, meat or fish” in<strong>the</strong> provision for carotenoids in food category 9.1.1 “Fresh fish” (note 4 “for decoration, stamping, markingor branding <strong>the</strong> product” associated with <strong>the</strong> provision was retained); and• Replacement <strong>of</strong> notes O1 and P with note P1” in <strong>the</strong> provision for beta-carotenes, vegetable in foodcategory 06.4.2 “Dried pastas and noodles and like products”.59. The <strong>Commission</strong> noted <strong>the</strong> reservations <strong>of</strong>: Brazil for <strong>the</strong> provision <strong>of</strong> caramel IV in food category 11.6“Table-top sweeteners including those containing high-intensity sweeteners”; Chile for <strong>the</strong> provision forsulfites in food category 4.1.1.2 “Surface-treated fresh fruit” and all provisions for erythrosine; Cuba for <strong>the</strong>provision for sulfites in food category 14.2.7 “Aromatised alcoholic beverages (e.g. beer, wine and spirituouscooler-type beverages, low alcoholic refreshers) and all provisions for erythrosine; Egypt for <strong>the</strong> provisionsfor lauric arginate ethyl ester; European Union for <strong>the</strong> provisions for canthaxanthin, caramel III, caramel IV,lauric arginate ethyl ester and steviol glycosides; Norway as to <strong>the</strong> provisions for canthaxanthin, lauricarginate ethyl ester and steviol glycosides; Republic <strong>of</strong> Korea for <strong>the</strong> provisions for carotenoids in foodcategories 09.1.1 “fresh fish” and 09.1.2 “Fresh mollusks, crustaceans and echinoderms”; and Switzerlandfor <strong>the</strong> provisions for steviol glycosides and for <strong>the</strong> provisions <strong>of</strong> canthaxanthin in fresh produce.2122232425REP11/MAS, para 25-51, Appendix IIICX/CAC 11/34/4 p.15REP11/FA para.75, Appendix IIIREP11/FFP, para.166ALINORM 05/28/3A, para. 56


14 REP11/CAC60. The <strong>Commission</strong> fur<strong>the</strong>r noted <strong>the</strong> reservation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Delegations <strong>of</strong> Australia and <strong>the</strong> United States <strong>of</strong>America to <strong>the</strong> deletion <strong>of</strong> note 16 to <strong>the</strong> provision for carotenoids in food category 9.1.1 “Fresh fish”.Amendments to food additive provisions for antioxidants and preservatives <strong>of</strong> food category 04.1.2.2“dried fruits” <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> GSFA 2661. The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted <strong>the</strong> amendments to <strong>the</strong> food additive provisions for antioxidants andpreservatives <strong>of</strong> food category 04.1.2.2 “Dried fruits” <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> GSFA and revised note 135 to read “Except foruse in dried apricots at 2000 mg/kg, bleached raisins at 1500 mg/kg, desiccated coconut at 200 mg/kg andcoconut from which oil has been partially extracted at 50 mg/kg”.Contaminants in Foods (CCCF)Proposed Draft Maximum Levels for Melamine in Food (Liquid Infant Formula) 2762. A number <strong>of</strong> delegations and one Observer, while supporting <strong>the</strong> proposed draft ML, expressed <strong>the</strong>irobjection or reservation to <strong>the</strong> note on <strong>the</strong> exemption from <strong>the</strong> ML, which read “The maximum level does notapply to liquid infant formula for which it can be proven that <strong>the</strong> level <strong>of</strong> melamine higher than 0.15 mg/kg is<strong>the</strong> consequence <strong>of</strong> migration from food contact materials taking into account any nationally authorizedmigration limit”. These delegations were <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> view that <strong>the</strong> level for melamine in a sensitive product suchas liquid infant formula should be kept as low as possible and that <strong>the</strong> note could allow for excessive levels<strong>of</strong> melamine. The Chair <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Committee on Contaminants in Foods indicated that <strong>the</strong> intention <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> MLwas to differentiate between adulterated product and those products which could contain melamine throughpossible migration from packaging materials. It was also indicated that <strong>the</strong> note took into account thisunavoidable migration from packaging material into <strong>the</strong> product, that <strong>the</strong>se migration levels would benegligible and not pose a risk to human health; and that it would be subject to national legislation. However,due to <strong>the</strong> continued reservation and concern with <strong>the</strong> note, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> agreed to adopt <strong>the</strong> ML at Step 5,to advance to Step 6 for comments and discussion in <strong>the</strong> Committee on Contaminants in Foods.Pesticide Residues (CCPR)Draft and Proposed Draft Maximum Residue Limits for Pesticides 2863. The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted <strong>the</strong> draft MRLs at Step 8 noting <strong>the</strong> reservation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> European Union andNorway on <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> haloxyfop (194) and fluopicolide (235) in a number <strong>of</strong> agricultural commodities due tochronic and acute intake concerns respectively for <strong>the</strong> reasons provided for in CX/CAC 11/34/4-Add.1 andCRD 6.64. The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted proposed draft MRLs at Step 5/8 noting <strong>the</strong> reservation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> European Unionand Norway on a number <strong>of</strong> group MRLs for different combinations <strong>of</strong> pesticides/agricultural commoditiesfor <strong>the</strong> reasons provided for in CX/CAC 11/34/4-Add.1 and CRD 6.65. The <strong>Commission</strong> also adopted proposed draft MRLs for spices at Step 5/8 with <strong>the</strong> exception <strong>of</strong>proposed MRLs for omethoate (055) in “fruit or berry (028B)” and “root or rhizome (028D)” which wereadopted at Step 5 only as <strong>the</strong> CCPR had previously decided to withdraw all MRLs for this compound.66. In this regard, <strong>the</strong> WHO JMPR Secretariat clarified that <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> MRLs for omethoate for agriculturalcommodities had been withdrawn by <strong>the</strong> 36 th <strong>Session</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CCPR due to lack <strong>of</strong> support by <strong>the</strong> producingcompany which did not allow a re-evaluation <strong>of</strong> omethoate residues, based on residue trial studies. However,<strong>the</strong> MRLs for spices were developed based on monitoring data, and since this was a special case that had notbeen encountered previously, it was advisable to seek <strong>the</strong> advice <strong>of</strong> CCPR on how to handle <strong>the</strong> proposedomethoate MRLs for spices before proceeding with <strong>the</strong> final adoption <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se MRLs.Fish and Fishery Products (CCFFP)Draft Standard for Fish Sauce 2967. The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted <strong>the</strong> Draft Standard with editorial corrections to <strong>the</strong> INS numbers for Benzoatesand Sorbates and noted <strong>the</strong> reservation expressed by <strong>the</strong> European Union to <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> Caramel III-ammoniacaramel (INS 150c) for safety reasons.26272829REP11/FA para. 26REP11/CF, para. 33, Appendix IIIREP11/PR, paras 31-81, Appendix II and Appendix IIIREP11/FFP, para. 36, Appendix III


REP11/CAC 15Proposed Draft Code <strong>of</strong> Practice for Fish and Fishery Products (section on smoked fish and relevantdefinitions) 3068. The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted <strong>the</strong> section on smoked fish and relevant definitions with editorial amendmentsas proposed by Norway and <strong>the</strong> European Union in <strong>the</strong>ir written comments (CX/CAC11/34/4-Add.1).Proposed Draft Amendment to Section 3.4.5.1 Water <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Code <strong>of</strong> Practice for Fish and FisheryProducts 3169. The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted <strong>the</strong> proposed draft amendment to section 3.4.5.1. The European Unionwelcomed <strong>the</strong> amendment and thanked delegations for <strong>the</strong>ir openness which allowed an agreement to bereached on <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> higher concentrations <strong>of</strong> chlorine in water than in potable water for <strong>the</strong> purpose <strong>of</strong>decontamination <strong>of</strong> fish and fishery products. It is <strong>the</strong> European Union’s view that according to thisagreement, <strong>the</strong> competent authority responsible at any step <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> food chain, including in <strong>the</strong> country <strong>of</strong>consumption, can request that <strong>the</strong> substances used for decontamination are submitted for <strong>the</strong>ir approval.Fresh Fruits and Vegetables (CCFFV)Draft Standard for Tree Tomatoes 3270. The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted <strong>the</strong> Standard at Step 8 with an editorial amendment to <strong>the</strong> table on sizing bydiameter (section 3, table A) to change <strong>the</strong> range <strong>of</strong> size code E from “35- 45” to “45- 35” for consistency.Proposed Draft Standard for Chilli Peppers 3371. The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted <strong>the</strong> Standard at Step 5/8 with <strong>the</strong> following amendments: <strong>the</strong> reference to bulktransportation was deleted for consistency with <strong>the</strong> previous decision <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Committee to delete provisionsconcerning transportation in bulk throughout <strong>the</strong> Standard as not appropriate to this product (section 4) andto provide for voluntary labelling <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> level <strong>of</strong> pungency <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> chilli pepper in retail and non retailcontainers (sections 6.1.1 and 6.2.2) as not all countries would have <strong>the</strong> capacity to implement this provisionsince <strong>the</strong>y did not have adequate data to classify varieties according to <strong>the</strong> level <strong>of</strong> pungency and noreference methods <strong>of</strong> analysis were identified in <strong>the</strong> Standard for this purpose.72. The Representative <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> UNECE indicated that <strong>the</strong> UNECE would be pleased to see <strong>the</strong> Standard forChilli Peppers adopted by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> <strong>Alimentarius</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> at Step 5/8. This Standard had been underdiscussion at <strong>the</strong> UNECE for several years. In May 2011, <strong>the</strong> UNECE Specialized Section onStandardization <strong>of</strong> Fresh Fruit and Vegetables converted <strong>the</strong> text <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> Standard into <strong>the</strong> UNECEStandard Layout, reviewed it and submitted it to <strong>the</strong> Working Party on Agricultural Quality Standards foradoption as a Recommendation for a trial period <strong>of</strong> one year. The trial period would allow countries toclarify some technical provisions, e.g. 2 and 3% allowances for skin defects for classes I and II, to check <strong>the</strong>botanical names <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> species covered by <strong>the</strong> Standard, with a view to harmonizing <strong>the</strong> UNECE text withthat <strong>of</strong> <strong>Codex</strong>, as well as to verifying <strong>the</strong> methods for testing pungency. Based on <strong>the</strong> feedback that would bereceived from countries, <strong>the</strong> Recommendation would be revisited by <strong>the</strong> Specialized Section in May 2012with a view to its adoption as a Standard by <strong>the</strong> Working Party in 2012. The results <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> discussion at <strong>the</strong>Specialized Section would be presented to <strong>the</strong> Committee on Fresh Fruits and Vegetables for consideration.Food Labelling (CCFL)Draft Revision <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Guidelines on Nutrition Labelling: List <strong>of</strong> Nutrients that are always declared on aVoluntary or Mandatory Basis 3473. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Malaysia maintained <strong>the</strong> position that trans-fatty acids should be labelled toge<strong>the</strong>rwith fats and saturated fats in Section 3.2.1.2 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Guidelines, which was <strong>the</strong> appropriate way <strong>of</strong> labellingfats and fatty acids to provide consumers information on <strong>the</strong> actual fatty acid pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong> foods. TheDelegation did not support <strong>the</strong> adoption <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Draft Revision with regard to <strong>the</strong> labelling <strong>of</strong> trans fatty acidsonly as a footnote in Section 3.2.1.4. The Delegation stated fur<strong>the</strong>r that <strong>the</strong> negative health impacts <strong>of</strong> transfattyacids had been well established as could be seen from <strong>the</strong> fact that <strong>the</strong> Global Strategy on Diet, PhysicalActivity called to reduce <strong>the</strong> intake <strong>of</strong> trans-fatty acids. The Delegation was <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> opinion that several issues3031323334REP11/FFP, para. 70, Appendix VREP11/FFP, para. 75, Appendix VIREP11/FFV, para. 70, Appendix IIIREP11/FFV, para. 92, Appendix IVREP11/FL, para. 31, Appendix II


16 REP11/CACpertaining to trans-fatty acids remained unresolved, as <strong>the</strong> 39 th CCFL had discussed, among o<strong>the</strong>rs, <strong>the</strong>possible review <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> definition <strong>of</strong> trans fatty acids by <strong>the</strong> Committee on Nutrition and Foods for SpecialDietary Uses, and <strong>the</strong> establishment <strong>of</strong> nutrient content claims related to trans fatty acids. The Delegationrecalled that <strong>the</strong> 39 th CCFL was informed that <strong>the</strong> WHO was undertaking a review <strong>of</strong> trans fatty acids thisyear (see REP11/FL, para. 190). In view <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se pending discussions and review <strong>the</strong> Delegation proposedthat <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> should defer <strong>the</strong> adoption <strong>of</strong> trans fatty acid labelling, and return it to <strong>the</strong> CCFL andhold <strong>the</strong> discussion regarding <strong>the</strong> declaration <strong>of</strong> trans fatty acids at Step 7 for fur<strong>the</strong>r deliberations, pending<strong>the</strong> outcomes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> reviews mentioned.74. One Observer supported <strong>the</strong> position <strong>of</strong> Malaysia.75. The Representative <strong>of</strong> WHO clarified <strong>the</strong> reference made by <strong>the</strong> delegation <strong>of</strong> Malaysia regarding <strong>the</strong>WHO's on-going work and informed <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> that <strong>the</strong> systematic reviews currently being undertakenby WHO is not on trans fatty acids, but on <strong>the</strong> health effects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> levels and threshold <strong>of</strong> total fat. Therefore,WHO's on-going review on total fat is not related to trans fatty acids.76. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Canada, speaking as Chair <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CCFL, informed <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> that <strong>the</strong> issue hadbeen discussed extensively in <strong>the</strong> CCFL and that <strong>the</strong> Committee had taken into account <strong>the</strong> informationpresented by WHO at <strong>the</strong> session as well as <strong>the</strong> intervention and reservation <strong>of</strong> Malaysia but recognized thattrans fatty acids were not a public health concern in all jurisdictions and thus had agreed to add a footnote ontrans fatty acids.77. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> European Union said that presently no new information was available but <strong>the</strong> issuecould be reconsidered in <strong>the</strong> future in light <strong>of</strong> new elements.78. The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted <strong>the</strong> proposed draft amendment at Steps 5/8 and noted <strong>the</strong> reservation fromMalaysia.Proposed Draft Compilation <strong>of</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> Texts Relevant to Labelling <strong>of</strong> Foods Derived from ModernBiotechnology 3579. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Canada speaking as Chair <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CCFL said that several delegations had noted that<strong>the</strong>re was <strong>the</strong> opportunity to clarify <strong>the</strong> footnote that had been included to <strong>the</strong> words “modern biotechnology”in <strong>the</strong> title <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> document by adding at <strong>the</strong> beginning <strong>the</strong> words “For a definition <strong>of</strong> ‘modernbiotechnology’”.80. Several delegations strongly supported <strong>the</strong> adoption <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> proposed draft including <strong>the</strong> editorialamendment proposed by <strong>the</strong> Chair and also commended <strong>the</strong> Chair for his efforts to find a consensus on thisissue, which had been discussed in <strong>the</strong> CCFL for many years. The success had shown that open andtransparent facilitation was a good way to build consensus.81. The Chairperson <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> also acknowledged <strong>the</strong> success <strong>of</strong> facilitation, which had helped tobring delegations toge<strong>the</strong>r on this difficult issue. The Chair <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CCFL said that success would not havebeen possible if <strong>the</strong> delegations had not been prepared to try a new and different approach to reach consensus.82. The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted <strong>the</strong> Proposed Draft Compilation <strong>of</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> Texts Relevant to Labelling <strong>of</strong>Foods Derived from Modern Biotechnology at Steps 5/8.Coordinating Committee for <strong>the</strong> Near East (CCNEA)Proposed Draft Regional Code <strong>of</strong> Practice for Street Vended Foods (Near East) 3683. The <strong>Commission</strong> noted that <strong>the</strong> Committee on Food Hygiene (CCFH) had not yet endorsed <strong>the</strong> Code, ashad been <strong>the</strong> practice for codes developed by o<strong>the</strong>r regions.84. The <strong>Commission</strong> decided to adopt <strong>the</strong> Code at Step 5, hold it at Step 8 and submit it for endorsement to<strong>the</strong> CCFH, and if <strong>the</strong> CCFH did not have major comments, <strong>the</strong> Code could be adopted at Step 8 at <strong>the</strong> 35 thCAC, without having to be returned to <strong>the</strong> CCNEA.3536REP11/FL, para. 156, Appendix IIIREP11/NEA, paras. 62 - 72, Appendix II

Some delegations raised concern as to <strong>the</strong> delay to take a decision regarding <strong>the</strong> MRLs for bovinesomatotropin, which have been held at Step 8 since <strong>the</strong> 23 rd <strong>Session</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> (1999).89. The <strong>Commission</strong> agreed to consider <strong>the</strong> draft MRLs for bovine somatotropin at its next session. In orderto facilitate its discussion, following <strong>the</strong> interventions <strong>of</strong> Chile and Cuba on <strong>the</strong> long period during which nohad been taken, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> requested <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> Secretariat to prepare a paper, which would describe<strong>the</strong> history <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> development and discussion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> MRLs in <strong>Codex</strong>, including a summary <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> JECFAevaluation.Draft MRLs for Ractopamine 4090. The Chairperson recalled that at <strong>the</strong> 33 rd session <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> it had not been possible to reachconsensus on <strong>the</strong> draft MRLs for ractopamine and that <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> had accepted <strong>the</strong> proposal <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>Chairperson to serve as facilitator to a discussion on possible solutions through a technique, used in FAO,WTO and o<strong>the</strong>r UN organizations, to establish an informal group called "Friends <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Chair" (FOTC). TheFOTC comprised 11 members: Brazil, China, Canada, European Union, Ghana, Japan, Mexico, Norway,South Africa, Tunisia, and <strong>the</strong> United States <strong>of</strong> America, and 2 observers: IFAH and CI.91. The Chairperson fur<strong>the</strong>r noted that, as indicated in document CX/CAC 11/34/4-Add.3, <strong>the</strong> FOTC hadmet several times and had established an agreement for <strong>the</strong> way to work. However, despite open and frankdiscussion, <strong>the</strong> FTOC had been unable to reach a consensus but made two proposals, which left <strong>the</strong><strong>Commission</strong> in <strong>the</strong> same position as it was at its 33 rd session.92. The Chairperson also explained that a delegation raised a question on <strong>the</strong> transparency in <strong>the</strong> way <strong>the</strong>FOTC had operated even though she had striven to ensure transparency throughout <strong>the</strong> process.93. Several delegations appreciated <strong>the</strong> efforts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> FOTC to find solutions. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Ghana,which participated in <strong>the</strong> FOTC, expressed <strong>the</strong>ir appreciation for <strong>the</strong> process, which had brought to lightcritical issues concerning <strong>Codex</strong> and regretted that <strong>the</strong> discussion had not resulted in a resolution. O<strong>the</strong>rdelegations expressed <strong>the</strong>ir appreciation for <strong>the</strong> efforts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> FOTC. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> European Unionstated its view that <strong>the</strong>y had participated constructively and positively in <strong>the</strong> FOTC but noted that, after apromising start, it was <strong>the</strong>ir view that a number <strong>of</strong> irregularities in <strong>the</strong> conduct <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> process had appearedand that transparency and that neutrality had not always been ensured. Ano<strong>the</strong>r delegation, while in principlein favour <strong>of</strong> using <strong>the</strong> FOTC to reach consensus, was <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> view that it should be used in accordance with<strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> guidance, should be unbiased and that <strong>Codex</strong> work should be open, transparent and inclusive.94. The <strong>Commission</strong> had an extensive discussion on <strong>the</strong> adoption <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> draft MRLs for ractopamine, whichmirrored positions and arguments at its 33 rd <strong>Session</strong>, with a number <strong>of</strong> delegations supporting <strong>the</strong> adoption <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> draft MRLs and a number <strong>of</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r delegations supporting discontinuation <strong>of</strong> work or proposing to hold<strong>the</strong> draft MRLs at Step 8.37383940REP11/NEA, paras. 73 - 75, Appendix III.REP11/NEA, paras. 76 - 79, Appendix IVALINORM 95/31, Appendix IIALINORM 08/31/31 para. 47 and Appendix II


18 REP11/CAC95. The delegations which supported <strong>the</strong> adoption <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> draft MRLs emphasized that JECFA had reviewed<strong>the</strong> MRLs three times and fulfilled its task by considering all available data and noted that <strong>the</strong>se MRLs couldbe reviewed in <strong>the</strong> future in <strong>the</strong> light <strong>of</strong> new scientific data. It was also pointed out that <strong>the</strong> draft MRLs werebased on JECFA risk assessment, as prescribed in <strong>the</strong> Risk Analysis Principles Applied by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong>Committee on Residues <strong>of</strong> Veterinary Drugs in Foods included in <strong>the</strong> Procedural Manual, and that <strong>the</strong>concern <strong>of</strong> China regarding residues in lung was not within <strong>the</strong> scope <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> draft MRLs currently underdiscussion. These delegations also underlined <strong>the</strong> conclusion <strong>of</strong> JECFA that <strong>the</strong>se MRLs were compliantwith <strong>the</strong> ADI and safe and reiterated <strong>the</strong>ir confidence in <strong>the</strong> science-based work <strong>of</strong> JECFA, and expressedconcern about <strong>the</strong> precedent that could be set, undermining <strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong> JECFA and risk assessment.96. These delegations fur<strong>the</strong>r highlighted <strong>the</strong>ir concerns on <strong>the</strong> long delay to adopt <strong>the</strong> MRLs based on nonscientificfactors and stressed <strong>the</strong> need for <strong>Codex</strong> to base its decisions on science, in view <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> status <strong>of</strong><strong>Codex</strong> standards under <strong>the</strong> WTO SPS Agreement. They recalled that many countries used <strong>Codex</strong> standardsas <strong>the</strong> basis for <strong>the</strong>ir national legislation and that failure to adopt <strong>the</strong> MRLs for ractopamine could negativelyimpact on food security as <strong>the</strong> establishment <strong>of</strong> MRLs for ractopamine would allow <strong>the</strong> safe use <strong>of</strong> newtechnologies to meet <strong>the</strong> increasing demand for food production foreseen by FAO. It was also stated by manydelegations that all <strong>Codex</strong> steps had been followed in <strong>the</strong> elaboration <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> MRL for ractopamine.97. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> United States <strong>of</strong> America noted that no government would be required to permit<strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> ractopamine but would be able to allow imports, confident that <strong>the</strong> imported meats are safe forconsumers when <strong>the</strong> exporting country has produced <strong>the</strong> food according to <strong>Codex</strong> standards.98. The delegations which opposed to <strong>the</strong> adoption <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> draft MRLs continued to be concerned with <strong>the</strong>safety <strong>of</strong> ractopamine, as <strong>the</strong>re were still unanswered safety questions, particularly with respect to <strong>the</strong>residues in lung tissue and scientific concerns linked to <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> ractopamine, which required fur<strong>the</strong>rstudies. It was noted that many countries did not allow <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> veterinary drugs solely for growthpromotion, without any <strong>the</strong>rapeutic purposes and that <strong>Codex</strong>, as risk management body, should base itsdecision not only on science but also take into account o<strong>the</strong>r factors, such as consumer concerns. Theyfur<strong>the</strong>r noted that it was essential for <strong>Codex</strong> to base its decision on a broad consensus not to undermine itscredibility.99. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> European Union underlined that <strong>the</strong>y highly respected <strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong> JECFA butcould not ignore <strong>the</strong> opinion provided by EFSA, which is at <strong>the</strong> basis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir food safety system, establishedaccording to <strong>the</strong> principles <strong>of</strong> risk analysis. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> China pointed out that <strong>the</strong>y were <strong>the</strong> largestproducer and consumers <strong>of</strong> pork; it was fur<strong>the</strong>r pointed out that China and <strong>the</strong> European Union representedtoge<strong>the</strong>r 70% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> pork production in <strong>the</strong> world and that more than 70% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> pork was consumed in <strong>the</strong>secountries; <strong>the</strong>refore, adopting a standard without <strong>the</strong> support <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se two major actors would undermine <strong>the</strong>credibility <strong>of</strong> <strong>Codex</strong>.100. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> China referred to <strong>the</strong>ir experiment findings on residues in pig lungs and voiced<strong>the</strong>ir concern with <strong>the</strong> safety <strong>of</strong> ractopamine, especially <strong>the</strong>ir concern with <strong>the</strong> risks related to residues inlung tissue and o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong>fal tissues. Therefore, China expressed <strong>the</strong> view that if <strong>the</strong> relevant risk assessment iscompleted and safety issues are fully addressed, <strong>the</strong> adoption <strong>of</strong> ractopamine MRLs could be considered.101. The WHO JECFA Secretary recalled that JECFA had evaluated an extensive toxicological database,including human studies at its 62 nd meeting (2004) and established an ADI 0-1 µg/kg bw. Extensive residuedata were also assessed and formed <strong>the</strong> base for <strong>the</strong> MRLs recommended for tissues <strong>of</strong> pig and cattle (i.e.muscle, liver, kidney and fat), as requested by <strong>the</strong> CCRVDF. At <strong>the</strong> 66 th meeting (2006), JECFA reviewed<strong>the</strong> establishment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ADI on request <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 15 th CCRVDF and confirmed <strong>the</strong> scientific basis andsoundness <strong>of</strong> its previous decision.102. The analysis conducted by JECFA in 2010 <strong>of</strong> additional residue studies in pigs, submitted by <strong>the</strong>People's Republic <strong>of</strong> China, confirmed <strong>the</strong> previously recommended MRLs. Estimated dietary exposuretaking <strong>the</strong> food basket and standard tissues into account led to about 50% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> safe intake level (<strong>the</strong> ADI).Data on residues in non-standard tissues, including lungs, from <strong>the</strong>se new studies were also evaluated.However, it was noted that residues in <strong>the</strong>se tissues were not routinely measured and were not available from<strong>the</strong> previous studies assessed at <strong>the</strong> 62 nd and 66 th meetings <strong>of</strong> JECFA. The JECFA Secretary fur<strong>the</strong>r notedthat, when consumed, lung and o<strong>the</strong>r non standard tissues generally replaced <strong>the</strong> standard tissues (e.g. musclemeat) and were not added to <strong>the</strong> daily consumption <strong>of</strong> products <strong>of</strong> animal origin. Even if residue levels inlung were higher than in <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r tissues, based on <strong>the</strong> estimated dietary exposure, <strong>the</strong>y did not indicate ahealth concern.


REP11/CAC 19103. The JECFA Secretariat emphasized that JECFA's mandate was to evaluate residues in foods whenveterinary drugs were used in accordance with good veterinary practice, i.e. used as recommended, whileresidues due to misuse could not be considered. Setting an MRL was one aspect <strong>of</strong> risk management, but <strong>the</strong>important responsibility <strong>of</strong> Governments was to put appropriate control and surveillance measures in place.104. The JECFA Secretariat fur<strong>the</strong>r clarified that EFSA had not undertaken a risk assessment byconsidering <strong>the</strong> original raw data, but had undertaken a review <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> JECFA assessment based on <strong>the</strong>published JECFA evaluation.105. The Chairperson noted that <strong>the</strong> extensive debate had essentially presented three main options on <strong>the</strong>way to proceed, i.e.: (i) continue to hold <strong>the</strong> draft MRLs at Step 8; (ii) discontinue work on <strong>the</strong> draft MRLs;and (iii) vote on <strong>the</strong> adoption <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> draft MRLs. The Chairperson clarified that, in case <strong>of</strong> voting, <strong>the</strong>question to be answered was whe<strong>the</strong>r every effort had been made to achieve consensus.106. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> United States <strong>of</strong> America called for a roll call vote on <strong>the</strong> adoption <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> draftMRLs for ractopamine.107. The Chairperson raised <strong>the</strong> question whe<strong>the</strong>r every effort had been made to reach consensus beforeproceeding with such a vote, as required by <strong>the</strong> Rule XII.2 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Rules <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Procedure <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong><strong>Alimentarius</strong> <strong>Commission</strong>.108. The discussion which followed showed that delegations were divided among (i) delegations whichconsidered that all efforts had been made to achieve consensus, that <strong>Codex</strong> was based on science and it wasnecessary to take a decision at <strong>the</strong> present session and, <strong>the</strong>refore, supported proceeding with a vote; (ii)delegations which opposed <strong>the</strong> adoption <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> draft MRLs and proposed discontinuation <strong>of</strong> work; and(iii) delegations which were prepared to adopt <strong>the</strong> draft MRLs in substance but did not agree with proceedingwith a vote considering that not every effort had been made to reach consensus and that a vote wouldundermine <strong>the</strong> credibility <strong>of</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> and <strong>the</strong> MRLs under discussion.109. The Chairperson said that her observation was that more delegations felt that <strong>the</strong>re were stillpossibilities to find consensus. In this context, <strong>the</strong> FAO Legal Counsel clarified that <strong>the</strong> determinationwhe<strong>the</strong>r or not <strong>the</strong> requirements <strong>of</strong> Rule XII.2 had been met rests with <strong>the</strong> Chairperson. He specified,however, that <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> could overrule <strong>the</strong> Chairperson.110. Following some fur<strong>the</strong>r debate and in <strong>the</strong> apparent absence <strong>of</strong> consensus on whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>requirements <strong>of</strong> Rule XII.2 had been met, <strong>the</strong> Chairperson proposed to vote on <strong>the</strong> following question: Doyou want to proceed with a vote on adoption <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> MRLs for ractopamine at this session <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong>?(Vote 1). The FAO Legal Counsel clarified that voting would be conducted ei<strong>the</strong>r by a show <strong>of</strong> hands, a rollcallvote, if requested by a Member, or a secret ballot, if so determined by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong>.111. A number <strong>of</strong> delegations wished that <strong>the</strong> vote be conducted by secret ballot. However, in <strong>the</strong> absence<strong>of</strong> consensus on <strong>the</strong> manner <strong>of</strong> voting, he <strong>Commission</strong> carried out a roll-call vote to decide on how toconduct Vote 1.112. It was noted that, as <strong>the</strong> European Union was competent to vote on this matter on behalf <strong>of</strong> itsMember States (see CRD1), <strong>the</strong> European Union cast 27 votes, one for each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> European Union MemberStates present at <strong>the</strong> session (at <strong>the</strong> starting <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> voting <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 27 European Union MemberStates was confirmed by <strong>the</strong> Secretariat).Votes in favour:Angola, Argentina, Australia, Barbados, Benin, Botswana, Brazil, BurkinaFaso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Canada, Central African Republic, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba,Democratic Republic <strong>of</strong> Congo, Djibouti, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Fiji, Gambia, Ghana,Guatemala, Guinea Bissau, Honduras, Indonesia, Jamaica, Lesotho, Madagascar, Mexico, Nepal, NewZealand, Nigeria, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Republic <strong>of</strong> Korea, Rwanda,Samoa, Senegal, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Suriname, Swaziland,Thailand, Togo, Tonga, Turkey, Uganda, United Republic <strong>of</strong> Tanzania, United States <strong>of</strong> America, Vanuatu,Venezuela, Viet Nam, Zambia.Votes against:Albania, Armenia, Belarus, Bhutan, China, Cote d’Ivoire, Croatia, Egypt,Georgia, Guinea, India, Iran (Islamic Republic <strong>of</strong>), Iraq, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon,Mali, Morocco, Norway, Russian Federation, Switzerland, Tajikistan, The Former Yugoslav Republic <strong>of</strong>Macedonia, Tunisia, Zimbabwe, European Union (27 votes).

The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted at Step 5 <strong>the</strong> Proposed Draft Standards and Related Texts submitted by itssubsidiary bodies, as presented in Appendix IV to this report, and advanced <strong>the</strong>m to Step 6.117. The following paragraphs provide additional information on <strong>the</strong> comments made and <strong>the</strong> decisionstaken on certain items.Fish and Fishery Products (CCFFP)Proposed Draft Standard for Quick Frozen Scallop Adductor Muscle Meat 42118. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> United States <strong>of</strong> America while not opposed to <strong>the</strong> adoption <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> proposeddraft standard at Step 5, proposed that <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> request <strong>the</strong> Committee on Fish and Fishery Productsto exclude scallops with roe attached from <strong>the</strong> scope. The Delegation expressed <strong>the</strong> view that <strong>the</strong>se scallopsshould best be dealt with in terms <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Standard for Live and Raw Bivalve Molluscs due to <strong>the</strong> specificrisks associated with <strong>the</strong>se products, in particular biotoxins. However, <strong>the</strong>re was no agreement to thisproposal as it was clarified that <strong>the</strong> CCFFP had considered this matter and had concluded that scallop meatwith roe attached did not necessarily pose an additional risk from biotoxins. Appropriate measures from <strong>the</strong>Standard for Live and Raw Bivalve Molluscs could be transferred to <strong>the</strong> standard for scallop meat for <strong>the</strong>control <strong>of</strong> biotoxins. It was fur<strong>the</strong>r noted that <strong>the</strong> Executive Committee had recommended that <strong>the</strong> CCFFP4142CX/CAC 11/34/5, CX/CAC 11/34/6 (comments <strong>of</strong> Philippines and Costa Rica), CRD 7 (comments <strong>of</strong> Nigeria),CRD 10 (comment <strong>of</strong> Indonesia), CRD 15 (comments <strong>of</strong> Cameroon)REP 11/FFP, Appendix VII


REP11/CAC 21should complete this work as soon as possible and that reopening discussion on <strong>the</strong> scope could postpone <strong>the</strong>target date for its completion.119. The <strong>Commission</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore agreed to adopt <strong>the</strong> Proposed Draft Standard at Step 5.REVOCATION OF EXISTING CODEX STANDARDS AND RELATED TEXTS (Agenda Item 7) 43120. The <strong>Commission</strong> agreed to revoke from <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> <strong>Alimentarius</strong> all texts proposed, as presented inCX/CAC 11/34/7. The list <strong>of</strong> texts approved for revocation is summarized in Appendix V to this report. Theparagraphs below provide additional information on <strong>the</strong> comments made and decision taken on <strong>the</strong> followingmatter:Revocation <strong>of</strong> CODEX STAN 229-1993 – Analysis <strong>of</strong> Pesticide Residues: Recommended Methods121. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> India did not support <strong>the</strong> revocation <strong>of</strong> CODEX STAN 229-1993 but to maintainand update <strong>the</strong> Standard regularly by identifying internationally validated methods that could be used as<strong>Codex</strong> reference methods for enforcement <strong>of</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> MRLs for pesticides. The Delegation noted that methods<strong>of</strong> analysis were an integral part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> MRL setting process and in this regard, <strong>the</strong> Risk AnalysisPrinciples applied by <strong>the</strong> CCPR clearly stated that “if no methods <strong>of</strong> analysis are available for enforcingMRLs for a specific compound, no MRLs will be established by CCPR”. The Delegation recognized that,although electronic compilations <strong>of</strong> analytical regulatory methods and validation data collection such as <strong>the</strong>repository list <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> IAEA website could provide for more flexibility in <strong>the</strong> updating <strong>of</strong> methods <strong>of</strong> analysisas opposed to hard copy documents, analytical methods identified under <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> procedure would ensurethat <strong>the</strong>y were not more stringent than necessary for testing MRLs in comparison with highly new developedtechnologies that might arise as a result <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> continuous updating <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> list which might in turn limit wideravailability and application <strong>of</strong> methods <strong>of</strong> analysis by <strong>Codex</strong> members, in particular developing countries. Inthis regard, <strong>the</strong> Delegation requested clarification as to <strong>the</strong> status <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> IAEA list under <strong>the</strong> WTO.122. The <strong>Commission</strong> noted that <strong>the</strong> Terms <strong>of</strong> Reference <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CCPR provided for <strong>the</strong> consideration <strong>of</strong>methods <strong>of</strong> analysis and sampling for <strong>the</strong> determination <strong>of</strong> pesticide residues in food and feed that could beadopted by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> as reference <strong>Codex</strong> methods for international trade. The <strong>Commission</strong> fur<strong>the</strong>rnoted that <strong>the</strong> CCPR had decided not to maintain a list <strong>of</strong> analytical methods but to keep existing validatedmethods on <strong>the</strong> IAEA website and that <strong>the</strong> purpose <strong>of</strong> maintaining such a list was to provide a platform forcomments and sharing experience regarding <strong>the</strong> methods but that <strong>the</strong> list should be considered as a resourcelist and was never meant to be a list <strong>of</strong> preferred or obligatory methods for <strong>Codex</strong> purposes. Based on this,<strong>the</strong> Committee had agreed to revoke CODEX STAN 229-1993 and that <strong>the</strong> IAEA would continue to support<strong>the</strong> maintenance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> web-based method database. The <strong>Commission</strong> fur<strong>the</strong>r noted that, with <strong>the</strong> revocation<strong>of</strong> CODEX STAN 229-1993, <strong>the</strong>re would be no <strong>Codex</strong> reference methods that could be recommended togovernments for enforcement <strong>of</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> MRLs.123. Several delegations supported <strong>the</strong> retention <strong>of</strong> CODEX STAN 229-1993 as <strong>the</strong> only referenceavailable for analytical methods for <strong>the</strong> determination <strong>of</strong> pesticide residues developed within <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong>framework. It was noted that <strong>the</strong> IAEA website as a repository <strong>of</strong> methods <strong>of</strong> analysis could not have <strong>the</strong>same status as being listed in a <strong>Codex</strong> document while recognizing <strong>the</strong> usefulness <strong>of</strong> such information from<strong>the</strong> IAEA. O<strong>the</strong>r delegations indicated that <strong>the</strong> CCPR had already considered this issue thoroughly and hadrecommended revocation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Standard while keeping <strong>the</strong> IAEA web-based method database as a resourcelist <strong>of</strong> methods <strong>of</strong> analysis for <strong>the</strong> determination <strong>of</strong> pesticide residues. A delegation suggested that this issuecould be addressed in <strong>the</strong> framework <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> document being developed by <strong>the</strong> Committee on Methods <strong>of</strong>Analysis and Sampling (CCMAS) on principles for <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> sampling and testing in international foodtrade. However, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> noted that this document was intended to address general issues but nothow to establish reference methods for pesticide residues which falls within <strong>the</strong> mandate <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CCPR andnot <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CCMAS.124. Based on <strong>the</strong> above considerations, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> agreed to retain CODEX STAN 229-1993.However in view <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> difficulties that might arise in practice for <strong>the</strong> regular updating <strong>of</strong> analytical methods,<strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> also agreed to request <strong>the</strong> CCPR to look into <strong>the</strong> possibility to develop criteria that shouldbe met by methods suitable for use as analytical methods to support <strong>the</strong> determination <strong>of</strong> MRLs forpesticides in food and feed that would enable countries to choose <strong>the</strong>ir own validated methods based oncriteria developed within <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> framework.43CX/CAC 11/34/7.

22 REP11/CACRevocation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Standard for Canned Mushrooms (CODEX STAN 55-1981)125. In view <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> adoption <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Annex on Certain Mushrooms (see Agenda Item 5) that wouldsupersede CODEX STAN 55-1981, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> revoked <strong>the</strong> Standard for Canned Mushrooms.AMENDMENTS TO CODEX STANDARDS AND RELATED TEXTS (Agenda Item 8) 44126. The <strong>Commission</strong> noted that this item related to <strong>the</strong> ongoing work <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> Secretariat to ensureconsistency throughout <strong>Codex</strong> texts.127. The <strong>Commission</strong> adopted <strong>the</strong> following amendments as presented in <strong>the</strong> working document and itsaddendum 1:- Editorial amendments to <strong>the</strong> titles <strong>of</strong> codes <strong>of</strong> practice and guidelines;- Amendments presented by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> Committees on Contaminants in Foods; Food Labelling; Fishand Fishery Products; Fresh Fruits and Vegetables; Veterinary Drugs in Food; and Nutrition and Foods forSpecial Dietary Uses;- Consequential amendment to footnote 8 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Principles for <strong>the</strong> Risk Analysis <strong>of</strong> Foods derivedfrom Modern Biotechnology (CAC/GL 44-2003)- Editorial amendments to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> Standard for Honey (CODEX STAN 12-1981)128. The <strong>Commission</strong> agreed to replace <strong>the</strong> existing section 4.4 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Standard for Natural MineralWaters (CODEX STAN 108-1981) with <strong>the</strong> following text: “During marketing, natural mineral waters shallconform to <strong>the</strong> microbiological criteria as defined in Annex I <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Code <strong>of</strong> Hygienic Practice for Collecting,Processing and Marketing <strong>of</strong> Natural Mineral Waters.”129. The <strong>Commission</strong> agreed to request <strong>the</strong> Committee on Food Additives to consider <strong>the</strong> need to revokeor revise <strong>the</strong> following texts: Information on <strong>the</strong> Use <strong>of</strong> Food Additives in Foods (CAC/MISC 1-1989); andGuidelines for Simple Evaluation <strong>of</strong> Food Additive Intake (CAC/GL 03-1989).130. The <strong>Commission</strong> noted that <strong>the</strong> section on contaminants in <strong>the</strong> Standard for Named Vegetable Oilshad been amended and agreed to <strong>the</strong> revision <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> section on contaminants in all o<strong>the</strong>r standards for fatsand oils to include <strong>the</strong> standard text in <strong>the</strong> Format <strong>of</strong> Commodity Standards in <strong>the</strong> Procedural Manual.PROPOSALS FOR THE ELABORATION OF NEW STANDARDS AND RELATED TEXTS ANDFOR THE DISCONTINUATION OF WORK (Agenda Item 9) 45ELABORATION OF NEW STANDARDS AND RELATED TEXTS131. The <strong>Commission</strong> approved <strong>the</strong> elaboration <strong>of</strong> new standards and related texts summarized inAppendix VI. The following paragraphs provide additional information on comments made and decisionstaken on <strong>the</strong> following items:FAO/WHO Coordinating Committee for Asia (CCASIA)/ Fresh Fruits and Vegetables (CCFFV)(Regional) Standard for Durian 46132. The <strong>Commission</strong> recalled that <strong>the</strong> CCASIA had proposed to develop a regional standard for durianbut since <strong>the</strong> project document indicated <strong>the</strong>re was worldwide trade in this commodity, <strong>the</strong> ExecutiveCommittee had proposed to allocate this work to <strong>the</strong> CCFFV. In this regard, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> noted that <strong>the</strong>agenda <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Committee would allow taking up new work on this product.133. The <strong>Commission</strong> approved new work on a standard for durian and requested <strong>the</strong> Committee on FreshFruits and Vegetables to consider this task at its next session. However, if <strong>the</strong> CCFFV (September 2012)considered that <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> a worldwide standard for durian was not possible, work could becontinued as a regional standard in <strong>the</strong> CCASIA (November 2012).444546CX/CAC 11/34/8 and -/Add.1; CRD 15 (comments <strong>of</strong> Cameroon)CX/CAC 11/34/9, CX/CAC 11/34/9-Add.1.

REP11/CAC 23134. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Thailand informed <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> that it would prepare a proposed draftStandard for Durian for consideration by <strong>the</strong> 17 th <strong>Session</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CCFFV in 2012.Food Hygiene (CCFH)Guidelines for Control <strong>of</strong> Specific Zoonotic Parasites in Meat: Trichinella spiralis and Cysticercus bovis 47135. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> United States <strong>of</strong> America informed <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> that it did not support <strong>the</strong>proposal for new work put to <strong>the</strong> CCFH Working Group for Establishment <strong>of</strong> Priorities and believed that as ageneral rule <strong>Codex</strong> Committees, in particular CCFH, should prioritize <strong>the</strong>ir work to issues <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> highestpublic health concern. The Delegation did not believe that <strong>the</strong> parasites covered by <strong>the</strong> proposed new workrose to that level and proposed that <strong>the</strong> new work wait until <strong>the</strong> OIE completes its work on Trichinella (seeAgenda Item 13). The Delegation proposed that a more general guidance document on foodborne parasiteswhich will provide a framework for annexes on specific parasite/commodity combinations be developedtaking into account <strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> FAO/WHO.136. Several delegations supported <strong>the</strong> approval <strong>of</strong> new work pointing out that:• The new work was part <strong>of</strong> a more general project aimed at global guidance on parasites in food;• The risk-based approach for <strong>the</strong> control <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se chosen parasites, although <strong>of</strong> low public healthrelevance, would help to target controls on <strong>the</strong> most relevant hazards;• CCFH had a rigorous prioritization process and in accordance with this process, <strong>the</strong> new workproposal had been accompanied by a risk pr<strong>of</strong>ile and was thoroughly discussed in <strong>the</strong> working groupon priorities;• There was no current need for scientific advice or risk assessment for this work as a lot <strong>of</strong> data wasalready available, for example from International <strong>Commission</strong> for Trichinellosis; and• The work could be developed in parallel and in collaboration with that <strong>of</strong> OIE as OIE deals with onfarmmeasures while <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> work would start at slaughter which would ensure that <strong>the</strong>re is nooverlap or duplication.137. The <strong>Commission</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore agreed to approve <strong>the</strong> new work and recommended that it be risk-based,that <strong>the</strong> prioritization list being prepared by FAO and WHO should be reviewed and that <strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong> OIE bemonitored to ensure that <strong>the</strong>re is no duplication <strong>of</strong> work.138. The Representative <strong>of</strong> OIE indicated that it would work closely with <strong>the</strong> CCFH in its elaboration <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> Guidelines.Food Hygiene (CCFH)Annex on Melons to <strong>the</strong> Code <strong>of</strong> Hygienic Practice for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables (CAC/RCP 53-2003) 48139. The <strong>Commission</strong> approved <strong>the</strong> new work and noted <strong>the</strong> concerns <strong>of</strong> many Spanish-speakingcountries with <strong>the</strong> difficulties to participate in this work through <strong>the</strong> physical working group established by<strong>the</strong> CCFH which had not provided for Spanish as a working language. Many producers <strong>of</strong> melons were fromLatin American countries and it was <strong>the</strong>refore necessary for <strong>the</strong>m to contribute to <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>work. It was clarified that <strong>the</strong> physical working group was established in accordance with <strong>the</strong> Guidelines forPhysical Working Groups and that <strong>the</strong> proposed draft Annex would be circulated for comments in English,French and Spanish and discussed at <strong>the</strong> 43 rd CCFH. The Secretariat recalled <strong>the</strong> recommendation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 31 st<strong>Session</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> regarding <strong>the</strong> holding <strong>the</strong> physical working groups 49 and that o<strong>the</strong>r strategiesshould be considered such as holding physical working groups immediately prior to sessions ra<strong>the</strong>r thaninter-session to allow for wider participation.Contaminants in Foods (CCCF)Maximum Levels for Arsenic in Rice 50140. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Japan, referring to <strong>the</strong>ir comments in CRD 16, expressed <strong>the</strong> view that it waspremature to elaborate MLs for arsenic in rice and that members should be requested to submit data,47484950REP11/FH, para. 137, Appendix VIREP11/FH, para. 142, Appendix VIIALINORM 03/41REP 11/CF, para. 64, Appendix IV


REP11/CAC 25criteria for reference and confirmatory methods, work currently underway in <strong>the</strong> CCFFP. It was recognizedthat it was premature to cite methods for both <strong>the</strong> current work on criteria for reference and confirmatorymethods as well as for <strong>the</strong> proposed new work on criteria for screening methods as <strong>the</strong> criteria were stillunder development. It was <strong>the</strong>refore agreed that <strong>the</strong> focus <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new work should be on <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> criteria without pre-empting which methods, for example <strong>the</strong> mouse bioassay, may or may not meet <strong>the</strong>criteria for ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> reference or screening methods. With this understanding, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> removed <strong>the</strong>reference to <strong>the</strong> mouse bioassay method and approved <strong>the</strong> new work.DISCONTINUATION OF WORK149. The <strong>Commission</strong> approved discontinuation <strong>of</strong> work summarized in Appendix VII. The followingparagraphs provide additional information on comments made and decisions taken on <strong>the</strong> following items:Fats and Oils (CCFO)Amendment to <strong>the</strong> Standard for Olive Oils and Olive Pomace Oils: Linolenic Acid Level 54150. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Malaysia, speaking as <strong>the</strong> chair <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Committee on Fats and Oils, said thatCCFO had not reached consensus on this issue in spite <strong>of</strong> great efforts and had agreed to discontinue work asrecommended by <strong>the</strong> 62nd <strong>Session</strong> <strong>of</strong> CCEXEC. The <strong>Commission</strong> noted that CCFO would reconsider <strong>the</strong>issue if new data became available.151. The <strong>Commission</strong> agreed to discontinue <strong>the</strong> work.Food Additives (CCFA)Draft and Proposed Draft Food Additive Provisions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> GSFA 55152. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Malaysia, referring to <strong>the</strong>ir written comments in CRD 4, proposed to return <strong>the</strong>provision for carotenoids in food category 02.1.2 “Vegetable oils and fats” to <strong>the</strong> CCFA for fur<strong>the</strong>rconsideration noting that carotenoids were technologically justified in such products, e.g. vanaspati. TheDelegation fur<strong>the</strong>r noted that <strong>the</strong> food additive provisions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Standard for Edible Fats and Oils NotCovered by Individual Standards (CODEX STAN 19-1981) also included carotenoids.153. The <strong>Commission</strong> agreed to <strong>the</strong> proposal and approved discontinuation <strong>of</strong> work on all o<strong>the</strong>r draft andproposed draft food additive provisions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> GSFA, as proposed by <strong>the</strong> CCFA, and returned <strong>the</strong> provisionfor carotenoids in food category 02.1.2 to <strong>the</strong> CCFA for fur<strong>the</strong>r consideration.<strong>Codex</strong> <strong>Alimentarius</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> (CAC) / Milk and Milk Products (CCMMP)Proposed Draft Standard for Processed Cheese 56154. The <strong>Commission</strong> recalled that at its 33 rd <strong>Session</strong> it had agreed to defer decision on discontinuation <strong>of</strong>work on <strong>the</strong> proposed draft Standard for Processed Cheese and to request <strong>the</strong> interested CoordinatingCommittees to discuss <strong>the</strong> necessity and <strong>the</strong> scope <strong>of</strong> regional standards and report <strong>the</strong>ir findings at <strong>the</strong>present <strong>Session</strong> 57 . The <strong>Commission</strong> noted that CCEURO, CCNASWP and CCASIA had supporteddiscontinuation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> work whereas CCAFRICA, CCNEA (with <strong>the</strong> exception <strong>of</strong> one country) and CCLAChad supported to continue regional or international work on a Standard for Processed Cheese.155. The <strong>Commission</strong> fur<strong>the</strong>r recalled that <strong>the</strong> Executive Committee had recommended suspending workon this matter for three years and that during this time countries could collect information on <strong>the</strong> difficultiesthat <strong>the</strong>y were facing in trade <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se processed cheese products and provide <strong>the</strong> information to <strong>the</strong>Secretariat for consideration at <strong>the</strong> CCEXEC in 2015 58 .156. A number <strong>of</strong> delegations and one observer were in favour <strong>of</strong> discontinuing work and recalled that <strong>the</strong>CCMMP had failed to develop a single standard encompassing all varieties <strong>of</strong> processed cheese. Thesedelegations were <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> view that fur<strong>the</strong>r work was not justified since it did not fulfil some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> criteria for<strong>the</strong> establishment <strong>of</strong> work priority applicable to commodities. Several delegations also underlined that <strong>the</strong>ywere not aware <strong>of</strong> any trade problems at <strong>the</strong> international level. These delegations also considered that <strong>the</strong>5455565758REP 11/FO, para. 59REP11/FA, paras 75, 83 and Appendix IVALINORM 10/31/11, para. 41 and ALNORM 10/33/REP para. 93ALNORM 10/33/REP, para. 93REP11/EXEC, para. 53


26 REP11/CACdevelopment <strong>of</strong> regional standards was not justified as <strong>the</strong>se products were globally traded and could resultin barriers to trade.157. O<strong>the</strong>r delegations were in favour <strong>of</strong> continuation <strong>of</strong> work. In <strong>the</strong>ir view <strong>the</strong> standard was needed todefine quality and safety characteristics <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se widely consumed products, to facilitate and regulate <strong>the</strong>irtrade and give guidance to industry. Fur<strong>the</strong>r delays in developing such a standard could result in quality andsafety problems in <strong>the</strong> trade <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se products.158. The Chairperson <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Committee on Milk and Milk Products (CCMMP) recalled that <strong>the</strong> CCMMPhad employed all means to develop a standard which could encompass <strong>the</strong> wide variety <strong>of</strong> processed cheesecurrently traded but had failed due to <strong>the</strong> difficulties to agree on <strong>the</strong>ir composition. He clarified that issuesrelated to <strong>the</strong> safety <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se products were outside <strong>the</strong> scope <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> standard, as <strong>the</strong>se were moreappropriately dealt with in o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>Codex</strong> texts, such as <strong>the</strong> Code <strong>of</strong> Hygienic Practice for Milk and MilkProducts (CAC/RCP 57-2004). The Chairperson fur<strong>the</strong>r said that, since <strong>the</strong>se products were globally traded,<strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> regional standards could result in impediments to trade. He recommended that thosecalling for fur<strong>the</strong>r work should take into account all previous work and analysis carried out by <strong>the</strong> CCMMPand suggested, as a possible way forward, to narrow <strong>the</strong> scope <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> standard. The Chairperson confirmed<strong>the</strong> availability <strong>of</strong> New Zealand to reactivate <strong>the</strong> CCMMP should <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> agree on <strong>the</strong> need t<strong>of</strong>ur<strong>the</strong>r work on this matter.159. The <strong>Commission</strong> agreed to suspend <strong>the</strong> decision on discontinuation <strong>of</strong> work on a standard onprocessed cheese until its next session and requested <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> Secretariat to prepare, in close consultationwith <strong>the</strong> Chairperson <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CCMMP, a Circular Letter to explore <strong>the</strong> possibility <strong>of</strong> fur<strong>the</strong>r work. TheCircular Letter would seek detailed information on trade problems associated with <strong>the</strong>se products andresponses to questions on <strong>the</strong> potential scope, content and technical specifications that might pertain to <strong>the</strong>seproducts to facilitate fur<strong>the</strong>r discussion on new standards covering processed cheese. The informationga<strong>the</strong>red through this process would <strong>the</strong>n be analysed and submitted to <strong>the</strong> Executive Committee and <strong>the</strong><strong>Commission</strong> in 2012 for fur<strong>the</strong>r discussion on <strong>the</strong> feasibility <strong>of</strong> new work in this area.MATTERS REFERRED TO THE COMMISSION BY CODEX COMMITTEES AND TASKFORCES (Agenda Item 10) 59160. The <strong>Commission</strong> noted several matters arising from <strong>the</strong> reports <strong>of</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> Committees, includingthose matters arising from <strong>the</strong> previous session <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong>. The following paragraphs provideadditional information on <strong>the</strong> comments made and decisions taken on certain items.Matters Related to Requests from <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong>Development <strong>of</strong> guidelines for traceability/ product tracing161. The <strong>Commission</strong> recalled that at its 32 nd <strong>Session</strong> it had endorsed <strong>the</strong> recommendation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 17 thCCFICS that <strong>the</strong> need for fur<strong>the</strong>r guidance on traceability be discussed by <strong>the</strong> FAO/WHO CoordinatingCommittees 60 (ALINORM 09/32/30, para. 74). The <strong>Commission</strong> referred <strong>the</strong> views <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> coordinatingcommittees on this matter to <strong>the</strong> CCFICS and recognised that Members may submit proposals for new workdirectly to <strong>the</strong> Committee. One delegation noted, with reference to <strong>the</strong> recommendations <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CoordinatingCommittee for Europe, that <strong>the</strong> guidance on traceability could also be addressed in <strong>the</strong> ongoing CCFICSwork on National Food Control Systems.Private standards162. The <strong>Commission</strong> recalled that <strong>the</strong> issue <strong>of</strong> private standards had been discussed at its 32 nd and 33 rdsessions and at <strong>the</strong> 2010/11 sessions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> six FAO/WHO Coordinating Committees.163. The Observer <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> WTO informed <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> that <strong>the</strong> SPS Committee had been discussing<strong>the</strong> issue <strong>of</strong> SPS-related private standards since 2005 but that <strong>the</strong>re was no consensus between WTOmembers on whe<strong>the</strong>r this issue fell under <strong>the</strong> SPS Agreement. Developing country members had initiallyraised <strong>the</strong> issue and <strong>the</strong> main examples identified were <strong>of</strong> supermarket chains setting MRLs for pesticidesthat were more restrictive than <strong>Codex</strong> or national requirements. The SPS Committee had formed an ad hocWorking Group, which had elaborated recommendations, five <strong>of</strong> which had been agreed by <strong>the</strong> SPSCommittee in March 2011, namely:5960CX/CAC 11/34/10, CRD 12 (comments <strong>of</strong> India), CRD 15 (comments <strong>of</strong> Cameroon).ALINORM 09/32/REP, para. 196


REP11/CAC 27‣ To develop a working definition <strong>of</strong> SPS-related private standards, and limit any discussions to <strong>the</strong>se;‣ For <strong>the</strong> SPS Committee and <strong>the</strong> three standard setting organizations (i.e. <strong>Codex</strong>, IPPC and OIE) toinform each o<strong>the</strong>r regularly about <strong>the</strong> work <strong>the</strong>y are doing in <strong>the</strong> area;‣ For <strong>the</strong> WTO Secretariat to inform <strong>the</strong> SPS Committee <strong>of</strong> relevant developments in o<strong>the</strong>r WTOcouncils and committees;‣ For member governments to sensitize relevant private sector bodies in <strong>the</strong>ir countries regarding <strong>the</strong>concerns raised in <strong>the</strong> SPS Committee and <strong>the</strong> importance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> international standards <strong>of</strong> <strong>Codex</strong><strong>Alimentarius</strong>, OIE and IPPC; and‣ For <strong>the</strong> SPS Committee to explore co-operation with <strong>the</strong> three standard-setting organizations indeveloping information material underlining <strong>the</strong> importance <strong>of</strong> international SPS standards.164. The Observer also informed <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> that additional actions were still under discussion in <strong>the</strong>SPS Committee but no consensus had been reached so far.165. One Delegation stated that, in <strong>the</strong> face <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> challenge <strong>of</strong> private standards, <strong>Codex</strong> had to show thatit was capable to fulfil its role to set science-based international food standards, o<strong>the</strong>rwise private standardswould quickly fill <strong>the</strong> gap left by <strong>Codex</strong>.166. The Chair concluded that <strong>Codex</strong> would continue to work closely with WTO, IPPC and OIE on thismatter and also invite private standard-setting organizations to participate as observers in <strong>Codex</strong> meetings.167. The <strong>Commission</strong> recalled that strict procedures were in place to grant Observer status with <strong>Codex</strong> tointernational non-governmental organizations and that <strong>the</strong> mandate <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> included “promotingcoordination <strong>of</strong> all food standards work undertaken by international governmental and non governmentalorganizations”.FINANCIAL AND BUDGETARY MATTERS (Agenda Item 11) 61Budget 2010-2011168. The Chairperson informed <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> discussions held at <strong>the</strong> Executive Committee onfinancial and budgetary matters. The Secretariat introduced <strong>the</strong> combined accounts for 2010-2011, <strong>the</strong>detailed expenditures for 2010, and a business plan prepared on <strong>the</strong> basis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> format proposed earlier in<strong>the</strong> Executive Committee (CX/EXEC 10/64/3). The Secretariat indicated that <strong>the</strong> business plan would befur<strong>the</strong>r elaborated when <strong>the</strong> figures for <strong>the</strong> entire biennium became available.169. In reply to questions on <strong>the</strong> late availability <strong>of</strong> some documents, <strong>the</strong> Secretariat noted that <strong>the</strong> budgetpaper had been delayed due to <strong>the</strong> late availability <strong>of</strong> some data and <strong>the</strong> timing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> FAO Conference (25June-2 July). As several documents were based on <strong>the</strong> outcome <strong>of</strong> committees and <strong>the</strong> last <strong>Codex</strong> sessionwas held only one month before <strong>the</strong> CCEXEC, this left limited time for preparation and translation <strong>of</strong>documents. Delays in translation were largely due to <strong>the</strong> timing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> FAO Conference and Councilconcurrently with <strong>the</strong> CCEXEC and <strong>Commission</strong>, and <strong>the</strong> resulting heavy workload on <strong>the</strong> FAO translationservices. As regards <strong>the</strong> proposal to monitor <strong>the</strong> date <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> distribution <strong>of</strong> documents, this would beconsidered in <strong>the</strong> framework <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new website.170. As regards <strong>the</strong> difficulties in <strong>the</strong> translation <strong>of</strong> documents in Arabic, <strong>the</strong> Secretariat indicated that itwould be very useful to benefit from <strong>the</strong> assistance <strong>of</strong> Arabic-speaking countries to facilitate adequatetranslation, for example providing comments on terminology, if possible through coordination at <strong>the</strong> regionallevel.171. The <strong>Commission</strong> noted <strong>the</strong> appreciation <strong>of</strong> Russian-speaking countries for <strong>the</strong> provision <strong>of</strong> Russianinterpretation and <strong>the</strong> request to provide also translation <strong>of</strong> documents, but noted that translation into Russianwas not feasible in view <strong>of</strong> current resources at this stage. As regards publications, many standards or<strong>the</strong>matic publications were available in Arabic, Chinese and Russian and <strong>the</strong>ir updating was underway.172. The <strong>Commission</strong> expressed its satisfaction with <strong>the</strong> stability <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> budget, recognised <strong>the</strong> generalissue <strong>of</strong> availability <strong>of</strong> documents in all languages, noted practical and resources issues and <strong>the</strong> efforts madeby <strong>the</strong> Secretariat to improve language coverage as far as possible.61CX/CAC 11/34/11


28 REP11/CACBudget 2012-2013173. The Representative <strong>of</strong> FAO indicated that <strong>the</strong> FAO Conference, which was moved from <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> biennium to mid-year <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> second year <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> biennium, approved a resolution on <strong>the</strong> budgetaryappropriation for <strong>the</strong> next biennium, and that compared with <strong>the</strong> proposal for 2012-13 Programme <strong>of</strong> Workand Budget for <strong>Codex</strong>, <strong>the</strong> real level <strong>of</strong> support should not change. Conference has, however, decided that<strong>the</strong> Organization should identify efficiency savings to a level <strong>of</strong> 3.4% out <strong>of</strong> 1 billion USD. However, <strong>the</strong>Resolution also indicates that such efficiency savings should occur primarily in administration andoperations, and gives explicit instructions which aim at protecting <strong>the</strong> delivery <strong>of</strong> technical programmes suchas <strong>Codex</strong>, and <strong>the</strong>refore FAO’s support to <strong>Codex</strong> is expected to be reconfirmed at <strong>the</strong> planned level in <strong>the</strong>Programme <strong>of</strong> Work for <strong>the</strong> next biennium. The Representative informed <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> that <strong>the</strong>Conference “stressed <strong>the</strong> need to provide adequate funding for standard-setting bodies, in particular <strong>the</strong>International Plant Protection Convention and <strong>Codex</strong> <strong>Alimentarius</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> (CODEX)…. TheConference also noted <strong>the</strong> need to broaden participation <strong>of</strong> FAO Members in CODEX” and recalled that, asmentioned in <strong>the</strong> opening session, <strong>the</strong> FAO Director-General elect, Mr. José Graziano da Silva, indicated hissupport for <strong>Codex</strong> as <strong>the</strong> world’s leading, science-based food standards body, in <strong>the</strong> face <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> proliferation<strong>of</strong> private standards.174. The Representative indicated that FAO would like to reiterate its unease at <strong>the</strong> fact that <strong>the</strong> twoparent Organisations continue to fund <strong>the</strong> operations <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> and its related activities in a veryuneven fashion, with FAO providing 85% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong>’s budget, and FAO is confident that it will bepossible for WHO to redress this situation so as to reflect better <strong>the</strong> very obvious complementarity andsynergies <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> two agencies in <strong>the</strong>ir support <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> mission.175. The Representative <strong>of</strong> WHO confirmed <strong>the</strong> full commitment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Organisation to supporting <strong>the</strong>work <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> <strong>Alimentarius</strong> and its secretariat. He recalled that <strong>the</strong> level <strong>of</strong> funding for <strong>Codex</strong> in WHOwas stable, that in WHO only 20% <strong>of</strong> funding was from <strong>the</strong> Regular Budget, 80% from voluntarycontributions, 85% <strong>of</strong> which was from designated funds, and that budget allocations to different areas <strong>of</strong>work were decided upon by member states through <strong>the</strong> WHO governing bodies. He also noted that memberstates considered <strong>the</strong> allocation to different UN agencies on <strong>the</strong> basis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir mandates and respective areas<strong>of</strong> activities. It was understood that standard-setting activities in FAO relate to quality and safety aspectswhereas in WHO <strong>the</strong> focus is on human health aspects, <strong>the</strong>refore more emphasis was placed on <strong>the</strong>seactivities in <strong>the</strong> framework <strong>of</strong> FAO and funding was provided accordingly. As regards scientific advice, <strong>the</strong>budget was equitably shared by FAO and WHO, and <strong>the</strong> Trust Fund, while being a joint project, was entirelyadministered by WHO. The Representative highlighted <strong>the</strong> contribution <strong>of</strong> regional WHO <strong>of</strong>fices in terms <strong>of</strong>scientific advice and capacity building also in matters related to standard-setting and o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>Codex</strong> activities,which did not appear in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> budget but also contributed to its work.176. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Cameroon requested <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> to provide guidance on <strong>the</strong> way forward indealing with <strong>the</strong> issue <strong>of</strong> efficiency savings, as requested by <strong>the</strong> just concluded FAO Conference in itsresolution on <strong>the</strong> 2012-2013 budget appropriation, considering that <strong>the</strong> refining <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> adopted budget wouldtake place at <strong>the</strong> FAO Council in November 2011.177. In reply to a question on <strong>the</strong> level <strong>of</strong> efficiency savings, <strong>the</strong> Representative <strong>of</strong> FAO indicated that itwas too early to know how <strong>the</strong>se savings would be applied to specific programmes but that FAO generallymade all efforts to ensure <strong>the</strong> best use <strong>of</strong> resources and to improve efficiency, for example through <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong>information technology.178. In addition to efficiency savings, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> noted that <strong>the</strong> FAO Conference resolution onbudget appropriation stated that technical programmes including <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> <strong>Alimentarius</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> shallbe protected. The <strong>Commission</strong> welcomed this resolution and urged member countries to continue to support<strong>the</strong> normative work <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> two parent organisations contributing to <strong>Codex</strong> work, and to consider fur<strong>the</strong>rsupport to technical programmes through voluntary contribution.179. Some delegations expressed <strong>the</strong> view that if savings were made in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> budget, <strong>the</strong>y should bereinvested in <strong>Codex</strong> activities, taking into account increased demands on <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> programme.Scientific Advice180. The Representative <strong>of</strong> FAO, referring to <strong>the</strong> paragraphs 33-35 in document CX/CAC 11/34/11,highlighted <strong>the</strong> available regular budget resources for scientific advice for <strong>the</strong> biennium 2010-2011 andindicated that for part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> activities implemented extra-budgetary resources had also been made available.


REP11/CAC 29It was foreseen that a slightly reduced regular budget would be forthcoming for <strong>the</strong> biennium 2012-2013taking into account efficiency savings, as required by <strong>the</strong> FAO Conference. To implement <strong>the</strong> programme <strong>of</strong>requests for scientific advice from <strong>Codex</strong> during 2012-2013 in FAO, additional extra-budgetary resourceswould be needed.181. The Representative <strong>of</strong> WHO indicated that voluntary contribution from member countriesrepresented 75% <strong>of</strong> WHO budget for scientific advice, that WHO benefited from two secondments frommember countries, and that support had been provided by several member countries in 2010, includingfunding for convening ad hoc expert consultations on emerging issues.182. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> United States <strong>of</strong> America expressed its strong support for scientific advice and,while noting <strong>the</strong> need for more funding on a short term basis, informed <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> that <strong>the</strong> Committeeon Pesticide Residues had considered various issues related to <strong>the</strong> funding, frequency <strong>of</strong> meetings,availability <strong>of</strong> expertise in JPMR in order to find means <strong>of</strong> increasing its outputs without compromising <strong>the</strong>integrity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> scientific process, and urged <strong>Codex</strong> members to inform <strong>the</strong>ir representatives to FAO andWHO about <strong>the</strong> need for adequate funding for scientific advice.183. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Poland, speaking on behalf <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Member States <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> European Union presentat <strong>the</strong> session, stressed <strong>the</strong> importance <strong>of</strong> FAO/WHO expert committees and consultations, and encouragedFAO and WHO to address <strong>the</strong> issue <strong>of</strong> funding at a high level in order to find structural solutions to ensure<strong>the</strong> functioning and independence <strong>of</strong> JECFA, JMPR and JEMRA. The Delegation pointed out that it waspreferable to streng<strong>the</strong>n existing specialised bodies ra<strong>the</strong>r than establishing new ones, and also encouragedmember countries to support scientific advice.184. The <strong>Commission</strong> noted <strong>the</strong> budget structure <strong>of</strong> both organisations, recognised <strong>the</strong> importance <strong>of</strong>continuing efficiency savings in <strong>the</strong> FAO and WHO budget for <strong>Codex</strong> and scientific advice, expressed itsthanks to FAO and WHO and member countries for <strong>the</strong>ir support to <strong>Codex</strong> and invited FAO, WHO andmember countries to give high priority and provide support to scientific advice in food safety.STRATEGIC PLANNING OF THE CODEX ALIMENTARIUS COMMISSION (Agenda Item 12) 62185. The <strong>Commission</strong> noted <strong>the</strong> discussion that had been held on <strong>the</strong> monitoring <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> StrategicPlan 2008-2013 at <strong>the</strong> 65 th CCEXEC 63 .186. One delegation requested clarification on how activity 3.5 would be implemented to adoptapproaches proven to facilitate speedy advancement <strong>of</strong> texts in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> step procedure by subsidiarybodies not currently using such approaches as such approaches were not written in <strong>the</strong> procedures.187. The <strong>Commission</strong> recalled that <strong>the</strong> 63 rd and 64 th CCEXEC had discussed an analysis on <strong>the</strong> speed <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> standard setting process and <strong>the</strong> 64 th <strong>Session</strong> had concluded that <strong>the</strong> analysis had helped toidentify work-management approaches <strong>of</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> Committees that facilitate advancement <strong>of</strong> texts in <strong>the</strong><strong>Codex</strong> step process and thus activity 3.4 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> strategic plan could be considered as completed, andCCEXEC had recommended to <strong>Codex</strong> Committees to consider adopting <strong>the</strong> good practices identified asabove in line with activity 3.5. 64Preparation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Strategic Plan 2014-2019188. The <strong>Commission</strong> noted that <strong>the</strong> 65 th CCEXEC had extensively discussed <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>forthcoming Strategic Plan 2014-2019 65 on <strong>the</strong> basis <strong>of</strong> a draft prepared by <strong>the</strong> Chair and <strong>the</strong> Vice-Chairpersons <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> 66 . The <strong>Commission</strong> noted fur<strong>the</strong>r that as a way forward <strong>the</strong> ExecutiveCommittee had agreed that, based on this draft and <strong>the</strong> discussion at <strong>the</strong> session, <strong>the</strong> Executive Committeewould develop a revised draft strategic plan. The Member for North America (United States) would collectand compile comments from Executive Committee members and <strong>the</strong> revised draft would be presented at <strong>the</strong>66 th CCEXEC for fur<strong>the</strong>r discussion.189. Following questions on <strong>the</strong> status <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> draft document and at what stage <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> process all members<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> would have <strong>the</strong> possibility to comment on <strong>the</strong> text, <strong>the</strong> Chairperson clarified that it was6263646566CX/CAC 11/34/12REP11/EXEC, paras 66-80ALINORM 10/33/3A, paras 113 and 114REP11/EXEC, paras 81-122CX/EXEC 11/65/4

The Observer from <strong>the</strong> World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), referring to information inCAC/34 INF/2, made a brief presentation.191. The Observer noted that revisions to <strong>the</strong> OIE Basic Texts, including amendments to <strong>the</strong> GeneralRules were adopted at <strong>the</strong> General <strong>Session</strong> in May 2011. These amendments provide for <strong>the</strong> adoption <strong>of</strong>standards on <strong>the</strong> basis <strong>of</strong> consensus and, if consensus cannot be obtained, on <strong>the</strong> basis <strong>of</strong> a two-thirdsmajority vote. They also contain provisions addressing potential conflict <strong>of</strong> interest for members <strong>of</strong> OIEexpert working groups; and provisions concerning <strong>the</strong> protection <strong>of</strong> legitimate confidentiality.192. The Observer noted that ongoing collaboration between <strong>Codex</strong> and OIE was essential given currentunderstanding <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> contribution <strong>of</strong> animal health at <strong>the</strong> production level to <strong>the</strong> safety <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> food chain“from farm to fork”.193. The Observer noted that <strong>the</strong> OIE continued to work to streng<strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> capacities <strong>of</strong> Members to meet<strong>the</strong> OIE standards relevant to animal health and zoonotic diseases, including by following <strong>the</strong> ‘OIE PVSPathway’. In this regard, <strong>the</strong> OIE encouraged <strong>Codex</strong> to take into account both <strong>the</strong> OIE standards and <strong>the</strong> PVSPathway procedures in developing recommendations on <strong>the</strong> requirements for national inspection services forfood <strong>of</strong> animal origin.194. The Observer reiterated <strong>the</strong> OIE’s wish to continue streng<strong>the</strong>ning <strong>the</strong> relationship with <strong>Codex</strong>,including through <strong>the</strong> proposed joint development by <strong>the</strong> OIE and <strong>Codex</strong> <strong>of</strong> standards relevant to safe foods<strong>of</strong> animal origin, where appropriate, and looked forward to fur<strong>the</strong>r discussion on this matter at <strong>the</strong> 27 th<strong>Session</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Committee on General Principles (CCGP), and would continue to work with <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong>Secretariat on this matter.195. The Observer reported that OIE was establishing mechanisms for coordination with global privatestandard setting bodies to help gain an understanding <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> implications <strong>of</strong> private standards and toencourage <strong>the</strong>se bodies to avoid conflicts with <strong>of</strong>ficial standards.196. The Observer reported that work was well under way to revise <strong>the</strong> Terrestrial Code chapter ontrichinellosis, which will include recommendations on <strong>the</strong> management <strong>of</strong> this pathogen in animals in orderto avoid risks to human health. He urged <strong>Codex</strong> to take full account <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> OIE work when developing <strong>the</strong>guidelines for <strong>the</strong> control <strong>of</strong> Trichinella spiralis in meat and declared that joint work on this issue would bevery welcome.197. The Observer concluded by confirming <strong>the</strong> strong commitment <strong>of</strong> OIE Members for closercollaboration for <strong>the</strong> benefit <strong>of</strong> both <strong>Codex</strong> and OIE Members.198. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Japan commented that coherent and transparent procedures should be in place forsuccessful collaboration among SPS sister organizations and that OIE needed clear written procedures andrisk analysis principles to enhance <strong>the</strong> transparency <strong>of</strong> its work. Japan’s expectations were that OIE developa uniform procedure for standard elaboration.199. The <strong>Commission</strong> noted that <strong>the</strong> issue <strong>of</strong> joint standards would be discussed at <strong>the</strong> next session <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>CCGP.

The Observer from <strong>the</strong> International Organisation <strong>of</strong> Vine and Wine (OIV) recalled that OIV is anintergovernmental organisation <strong>of</strong> a scientific and technical nature with recognised expertise in <strong>the</strong> fields <strong>of</strong>vines, wine and wine-based beverages, table grapes and raisins and o<strong>the</strong>r vine-based products, that <strong>the</strong>cooperation between OIV and <strong>Codex</strong> had produced very positive results in several areas. OIV contributedvery actively in <strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CCCF in <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Code <strong>of</strong> Practice for <strong>the</strong> Prevention andReduction <strong>of</strong> Ochratoxin A Contamination in Wine (CAC/RCP 63-2007) and was participating in <strong>the</strong> workon <strong>the</strong> revision <strong>of</strong> certain limits and in particular lead in wines.208. In <strong>the</strong> CCFA, OIV was actively involved in <strong>the</strong> review <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> foods category system in particular <strong>the</strong>“grape wines” category to be differentiated from <strong>the</strong> “Wines o<strong>the</strong>r than grape” category, and currentlyparticipates in <strong>the</strong> work on <strong>the</strong> General Standard for Food Additives (GSFA) for <strong>the</strong> “grape wine” categoryand its sub-categories.209. In <strong>the</strong> CCFFV OIV was involved in <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Standard for Table Grapes (CODEXSTAN 255-2007) and more particularly <strong>the</strong> sections relating to <strong>the</strong> maturity and minimum weights forbunches. In 2008, OIV Member States adopted by consensus a standard on <strong>the</strong> minimum maturityrequirements for table grapes (VITI 1-2008). OIV intends to pursue this cooperation concerning certainprovisions in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> standard for table grapes. OIV’s work on a specific standard for raisins may alsoconstitute, when adopted, a scientific and technical contribution to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> work.210. OIV also took into account several principles or <strong>Codex</strong> texts in its own programme <strong>of</strong> work, such as<strong>the</strong> role <strong>of</strong> science in developing standards, <strong>the</strong> principles established by <strong>the</strong> CCFICS on traceability, whendeveloping <strong>the</strong> OIV draft resolution regarding traceability guidelines in <strong>the</strong> vine and wine sector, and <strong>the</strong><strong>Codex</strong> principles and definitions on biotechnologies when drafting certain OIV definitions specific to <strong>the</strong>vine and wine sector with regards biotechnologies.211. The Observer also expressed interest in cooperating with FAO on issues <strong>of</strong> common interest, andconcluded that <strong>the</strong>se examples demonstrates <strong>the</strong> interest that <strong>the</strong> OIV has in <strong>Codex</strong> work and <strong>the</strong> need for<strong>the</strong> two organisations to coordinate and cooperate in fields <strong>of</strong> common interest.B. Relations between <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> <strong>Alimentarius</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> and International Non-governmentalOrganizationsInternational Organization for Standardization (ISO) 74212. The Observer <strong>of</strong> ISO, Secretary <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ISO Technical Committee on Food Products, ISO/TC 34, onbehalf <strong>of</strong> ISO Deputy Secretary-General, M. Kevin Mac Kinley, recalled that ISO had developed more than800 standards in <strong>the</strong> food sector. ISO International Standards are developed according to principles stipulatedby <strong>the</strong> WTO Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade, especially transparency, openness, impartiality andconsensus. ISO <strong>of</strong>fers technical assistance to developing countries to support participation in its technicalwork, attendance at ISO meetings, and capacity-building to use and implement ISO standards, andconsumers participate in ISO work.213. The Observer noted that ISO and <strong>Codex</strong> have a long history <strong>of</strong> cooperation and complementary work,as outlined in CAC/34 INF/6, <strong>Codex</strong> being a valued partner for ISO in <strong>the</strong> field <strong>of</strong> food safety, where ISOseeks to develop standards that complement <strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CAC and facilitate its implementation. IN <strong>the</strong>perspective <strong>of</strong> such essential collaboration, ISO is organizing a regional workshop on fisheries andaquaculture in September 2011 in Indonesia that will involve FAO, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> Secretariat, OIE and <strong>the</strong>industry forum - GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative). ISO could be a linkage or a bridge with <strong>the</strong> globalfood industry.214. ISO/TC 34 “Food Products” and its Subcommittee on food safety management systems continue toharmonize industry pre-requisite programmes, in coordination with CAC (see para 26 <strong>of</strong> INF/6).

The <strong>Commission</strong> noted that <strong>the</strong> Annual Report and Progress Report were for information purposesonly. The Representative <strong>of</strong> WHO recalled that <strong>the</strong> last session <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> had considered <strong>the</strong> Mid-Term Review <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> Trust Fund (CTF) and put forward several questions for consideration byCoordinating Committees, following which WHO and FAO had prepared a management response (CX/CAC11/34/14-Add.1) and proposals to respond to Mid-term Review recommendations (CX/CAC 11/34/14-Add.2). The Representative invited <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> to consider <strong>the</strong>se proposals according to <strong>the</strong> three TrustFund Objectives.Objective 1 - Widening participation in <strong>Codex</strong>217. The Representative <strong>of</strong> WHO recalled that <strong>the</strong> Trust Fund secretariat had studied <strong>the</strong> problems facedby several countries to sustain participation, whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>y were still eligible or not and noted some commoncharacteristics among <strong>the</strong>se countries. WHO invited <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> to consider whe<strong>the</strong>r Least DevelopedCountries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing State (SIDS) should get extra support; whe<strong>the</strong>r graduatecountries that cannot sustain some participation should be brought back in; and whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> proposals putforward for this purpose were adequate.218. Some delegations indicated that <strong>the</strong>ir priority was Objective 1 and expressed <strong>the</strong>ir appreciation to <strong>the</strong>CTF for recognising that <strong>the</strong>re were still problems to ensure participation for many countries.219. Some delegations expressed <strong>the</strong> view that <strong>the</strong> criteria were not adequate and should be revised as<strong>the</strong>y were based on some international indicators but did not take into account <strong>the</strong> real situation in <strong>the</strong>countries, and it should be clarified what criteria would be applied for additional support <strong>of</strong> graduatedcountries.220. Some delegations proposed that in order to decide on additional support, <strong>the</strong> CTF should consider<strong>the</strong> quality <strong>of</strong> participation, whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> countries concerned had participated effectively and suchparticipation had resulted in actual benefits and progress at <strong>the</strong> national level. The Representative <strong>of</strong> WHOindicated that <strong>the</strong> situations would be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, taking into account <strong>the</strong> effectivenessand impact <strong>of</strong> previous participation.221. One delegation pointed out that difficulties in participation at <strong>the</strong> national level may arise fromdivision <strong>of</strong> competence and budgetary procedures within <strong>the</strong> responsible ministries, and such difficultiesshould be taken into account when considering additional support.222. Several delegations supported additional funding for LDCs and SIDS and it was also noted that <strong>the</strong>options proposed were complementary as support should be considered on a case-by case basis whencountries encountered difficulties, whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>y were eligible or not.223. The <strong>Commission</strong> agreed with <strong>the</strong> proposals for additional support to LDCs, SIDS and graduatedcountries that cannot sustain participation, and with <strong>the</strong> process put forward for this purpose in <strong>the</strong> workingdocument, noting that <strong>the</strong> criteria and mechanisms should be clear and transparent.Objective 2 - Streng<strong>the</strong>ning participation in <strong>Codex</strong>224. Some delegations pointed out that Objective 1 and 2 were linked and that <strong>the</strong> achievement <strong>of</strong>Objective 2 would take more time, and that <strong>the</strong>se objectives should remain <strong>the</strong> first priority, whilerecognising that Objective 3 was also important.225. Several delegations noted that <strong>the</strong> Trust Fund had greatly benefited many countries and those whohad gained sufficient experience could assist o<strong>the</strong>r countries, and <strong>the</strong>re was general support for mechanismssuch as mentoring, twinning, regional cooperation and South-South cooperation.226. In <strong>the</strong> discussion, it was pointed out that <strong>the</strong> following conditions were essential to achieve Objective2: long term sustainability <strong>of</strong> participation; exchange <strong>of</strong> information and coordination between CTF and75CX/CAC 11/34/14, CX/CAC 11/34/14-Add.1, CX/CAC 11/34/14-Add.2


34 REP11/CACo<strong>the</strong>r training and development activities <strong>of</strong> FAO, WHO, regional and member countries’ initiatives; andcommitment by decision makers at a political level.227. Several delegations noted that Objective 2 was closely linked to Objective 1 as delegates had to bewell prepared to benefit from participation in <strong>Codex</strong> meetings, and also should prioritise <strong>the</strong> meetings thatwere <strong>of</strong> more importance for <strong>the</strong>m to attend; for this purpose national <strong>Codex</strong> committees should bestreng<strong>the</strong>ned and regional trainings were also very useful.228. One delegation indicated that emphasis should remain on Objective 1 and that donor countries wereaccountable at <strong>the</strong> national level for <strong>the</strong>ir contribution to <strong>the</strong> Trust Fund and <strong>the</strong>refore it was important toensure transparency and to evaluate how <strong>the</strong> Trust Fund had actually benefited recipient countries, in order todecide on future funding.229. The <strong>Commission</strong> agreed to support <strong>the</strong> following action to achieve Objective 2: to ensurecoordination and information sharing between Trust Fund, FAO, WHO, regional organisations and membercountries on training activities; to promote mentoring, twinning and South-South cooperation; to sensitiseleadership to <strong>the</strong> importance <strong>of</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> work so that decision makers recognise <strong>the</strong> importance <strong>of</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> workand allocate resources accordingly; and to measure <strong>the</strong> impact <strong>of</strong> participation at <strong>the</strong> national level.Objective 3 - Enhancing technical and scientific input to <strong>Codex</strong>230. Some delegations pointed out that <strong>the</strong> support <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Trust Fund was a good opportunity to takeadvantage <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> expertise available in academic institutions in developing countries at <strong>the</strong> national orregional level in order to identify experts and sources <strong>of</strong> data that could be used to provide scientific advice.231. The following issues were put forward in <strong>the</strong> discussion on <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> such expertise: <strong>the</strong> need forinteraction between scientific experts and regulators at <strong>the</strong> national level, which was necessary both todevelop national standards or to participate in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> process; <strong>the</strong> challenges to access data, which maybe unpublished; organisational and funding issues; and gaps in <strong>the</strong> areas <strong>of</strong> expertise covered.232. One delegation pointed out that while several countries had largely achieved Objectives 1 and 2,Objective 3 remained more difficult and should be considered in a long term perspective, and supported <strong>the</strong>activities proposed in <strong>the</strong> working document. Ano<strong>the</strong>r delegation supported focusing on Objective 2according to <strong>the</strong> needs <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> regions concerned ra<strong>the</strong>r than Objective 3, which should preferably beaddressed through o<strong>the</strong>r FAO and WHO activities.233. In reply to a question on <strong>the</strong> possibility <strong>of</strong> using regional centres <strong>of</strong> excellence to enhance scientificinput, <strong>the</strong> Representative <strong>of</strong> WHO indicated that <strong>the</strong>re were several networks <strong>of</strong> centres <strong>of</strong> excellence,especially <strong>the</strong> WHO collaborating centres and <strong>the</strong> GEMS/Foods network; clarified that centres <strong>of</strong> excellencedid not provide direct input in <strong>the</strong> FAO/WHO scientific advice process; and noted <strong>the</strong> role <strong>of</strong> regional WHO<strong>of</strong>fices to facilitate such linkages at <strong>the</strong> regional level. The Representative also stressed <strong>the</strong> importance <strong>of</strong>disseminating at <strong>the</strong> national level <strong>the</strong> calls for data and calls for experts which were distributed in <strong>the</strong>preparation <strong>of</strong> expert consultations.234. The Representative <strong>of</strong> FAO stressed <strong>the</strong> importance <strong>of</strong> making best use <strong>of</strong> existing scientificinstitutes and universities at national level to ensure that available data is effectively used in standard andfood safety programming activities as well as in relevant international expert meeting within <strong>the</strong> FAO/WHOprogramme on <strong>the</strong> provision <strong>of</strong> scientific advice. Building adequate national capacity to streng<strong>the</strong>n scientificactivities and data generation covers a broad range <strong>of</strong> issues, and efforts should be made to prevent doublingand ensure synergies with FAO and WHO programmes leading to <strong>the</strong> most effective use <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> availableCTF funds.235.

REP11/CAC 35OTHER MATTERS ARISING FROM FAO AND WHO (Agenda Item 14b)) 76Provision <strong>of</strong> Scientific Advice237. The Representatives <strong>of</strong> WHO and FAO introduced <strong>the</strong> document CX/CAC 11/34/15 which wasdivided into 3 parts, namely recent FAO/WHO expert meetings, o<strong>the</strong>r related initiatives underway in FAOand WHO and status <strong>of</strong> requests for FAO/WHO scientific advice. The outcomes <strong>of</strong> some recently heldscientific expert meetings to address requests brought forth by a number <strong>of</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> Committees and jointlyorganized by FAO and WHO were highlighted. Recent publications were noted as well as upcomingmeetings.238. The Representative <strong>of</strong> WHO, while referring to paragraphs 17, 18 and 19 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> document,highlighted <strong>the</strong> on-going work <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> WHO Nutrition Guidance Expert Advisory Group (NUGAG) whichwas established in order to respond to <strong>the</strong> required new guideline development process implemented inWHO and ensure that WHO guidelines are developed in ways consistent with best practice and are based onavailable scientific evidence. NUGAG has, <strong>the</strong>refore, replaced <strong>the</strong> old mechanism for developing nutritionguidelines and recommendations through ad hoc expert consultations. The <strong>Commission</strong> was also informed <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> work on nutrient pr<strong>of</strong>iling and on-going country field-testing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> guiding principle manual.239. The Representative <strong>of</strong> FAO, fur<strong>the</strong>r informed <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> regarding <strong>the</strong> work carried out byFAO and WHO in relation to <strong>the</strong> web-based support tools to be instrumental for countries in <strong>the</strong>implementation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> adopted guideline on <strong>the</strong> control <strong>of</strong> Campylobacter and Salmonella in poultryproducts. In addition, in relation to <strong>the</strong> requests <strong>of</strong> CCFH to FAO and WHO to take up new work on <strong>the</strong> risks<strong>of</strong> parasites in foods, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> was reminded <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> deadline for submission <strong>of</strong> data to assist in <strong>the</strong>future risk assessment activities <strong>of</strong> JEMRA on this matter.240. The <strong>Commission</strong> fur<strong>the</strong>r noted <strong>the</strong> information provided in relation to <strong>the</strong> recently carried out pilotbaseline survey on <strong>the</strong> quality and utility <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> food safety scientific advice provided by FAO and WHO tocertain <strong>Codex</strong> committees and that a follow-up <strong>of</strong> this survey would be undertaken later this year to ga<strong>the</strong>rfur<strong>the</strong>r information on possible improvements that could be considered in <strong>the</strong> work on implementation <strong>of</strong>scientific advice activities.241. Additional information was provided on activities <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> newly created program on prevention,preparedness and response to food safety emergencies, EMPRES Food Safety, in support <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Food ChainCrisis Management and FAO.242. The JECFA Secretariat drew attention to <strong>the</strong> increasingly difficult financial situation in FAO and inparticular in WHO that also affects <strong>the</strong> provision <strong>of</strong> scientific advice. It was pointed out that <strong>the</strong> currentfinancial situation in FAO and WHO does not permit to address many <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> future scientific advice requestsadopted by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> at this session.243. Finally it was emphasized that <strong>the</strong> scientific advice program is not part <strong>of</strong> <strong>Codex</strong>, but a separateactivity that is closely linked to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> standard-setting process. Moreover, <strong>the</strong> importance <strong>of</strong> distributingand responding to calls for data and calls for experts that are frequently published by FAO and WHO inadvance <strong>of</strong> expert meetings was emphasized.Capacity building244. The Representative <strong>of</strong> FAO on behalf <strong>of</strong> FAO and WHO explained that <strong>the</strong> document CX/CAC11/34/15-Add.1 provided <strong>the</strong> full list <strong>of</strong> current and planned FAO and WHO capacity building projectsincluding those activities undertaken by both Organizations which complement <strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> or supportit at national, regional and international level.ELECTION OF THE CHAIRPERSON, VICE-CHAIRPERSONS AND OTHER MEMBERS OFTHE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (Agenda Item 15) 77245.

REP11/CAC 37251. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Kenya informed <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> difficulties in obtaining visas to attend <strong>the</strong>Committee on Methods <strong>of</strong> Analysis and Sampling in Hungary and encouraged hosts to facilitate access <strong>of</strong>delegates to <strong>the</strong> Committee meetings.OTHER BUSINESS (Agenda Item 17)Future work on nanotechnology252. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Egypt enquired on <strong>the</strong> possibility to establish a Task Force to address foodproduced using nanotechnology in order to assess <strong>the</strong> potential risk posed by <strong>the</strong>se foods.253. In response to <strong>the</strong> request from <strong>the</strong> delegation <strong>of</strong> Egypt, FAO and WHO provided information onrecent and upcoming activities in <strong>the</strong> field <strong>of</strong> nanotechnology. The <strong>Commission</strong> was informed that FAO andWHO held an expert meeting in June 2009 on <strong>the</strong> potential food safety implications <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> emergingnanotechnology applications in food and agriculture. In addition, FAO had collaborated with <strong>the</strong>Government <strong>of</strong> Brazil in organizing an international conference in June 2010 to review nanotechnologyapplications in <strong>the</strong> food and agriculture sectors with emphasis on applications <strong>of</strong> particular interest todeveloping countries. Given <strong>the</strong> broad scope <strong>of</strong> use <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se technologies and due to <strong>the</strong> many ongoingactivities in o<strong>the</strong>r bodies, it was suggested that it would be necessary to better define <strong>the</strong> scope <strong>of</strong> any workto be carried out in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> framework. FAO and WHO would continue <strong>the</strong> work in relation todevelopment on decision tree approaches for assessment <strong>of</strong> nanotechnology applications in <strong>the</strong> food sectorwhen <strong>the</strong> ongoing work in o<strong>the</strong>r entities had been finalized, to avoid duplication <strong>of</strong> efforts.Revision <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Terms <strong>of</strong> Reference <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Committee on Fresh Fruits and Vegetables254. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Colombia referred to its proposal to consider <strong>the</strong> revision <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Terms <strong>of</strong>Reference <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Committee on Fresh Fruits and Vegetables (CCFFV) and <strong>the</strong> recommendation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 65 th<strong>Session</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Executive Committee by which <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> should recommend to <strong>the</strong> CCFFV to considerits Terms <strong>of</strong> Reference and after completion send <strong>the</strong>m to <strong>the</strong> Committee on General Principles for review.255. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> European Union noted that <strong>the</strong> Terms <strong>of</strong> Reference <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> UNECE WorkingParty on Agricultural Quality Standards established that <strong>the</strong> Working Party shall cooperate with <strong>the</strong> CCFFVin order to ensure that <strong>the</strong> consultation process worked reciprocally. In this regard, <strong>the</strong> consultative processwith <strong>the</strong> UNECE, as set out in <strong>the</strong> Terms <strong>of</strong> Reference <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CCFFV, could greatly facilitate <strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>Committee by providing a positive input to <strong>the</strong> standards development in <strong>the</strong> CCFFV, in particular <strong>the</strong>consideration <strong>of</strong> UNECE standards. If <strong>Codex</strong> members had concerns about <strong>the</strong> consultative process with <strong>the</strong>UNECE, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> could clarify <strong>the</strong> issue as follows: “The ultimate goal <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> consultation processbetween <strong>Codex</strong> and <strong>the</strong> UNECE should be <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> harmonized standards to ensure fair tradepractices. However, this does not mean that <strong>Codex</strong> standards should be identical to UNECE standards ascertain level <strong>of</strong> divergence might be in practice unavoidable to accommodate <strong>the</strong> needs <strong>of</strong> <strong>Codex</strong> mandateand broader membership”.256. The Delegation <strong>of</strong> Mexico, speaking as Chair <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Committee on Fresh Fruits and Vegetables,requested that, if <strong>the</strong> Terms <strong>of</strong> Reference were to be discussed at <strong>the</strong> next session <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CCFFV, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Codex</strong>Secretariat should prepare a background document on <strong>the</strong> history and linkages between <strong>the</strong> CCFFV and <strong>the</strong>UNECE in order to assist <strong>the</strong> Committee to make an informed decision.257. The <strong>Commission</strong> agreed to recommend to <strong>the</strong> CCFFV to consider its Terms <strong>of</strong> Reference and thatresult <strong>of</strong> its consideration could be forwarded to <strong>the</strong> CCGP for review if necessary.Date and Place <strong>of</strong> Next <strong>Session</strong>258. The <strong>Commission</strong> noted that its 35 th <strong>Session</strong> would be held in Rome, Italy, from 2 to 7 July 2012,subject to fur<strong>the</strong>r confirmation.
