Members of the food and drink industry keen to participate in the FAO/WHO consultative process on the provision of scientific advice to Codex Alimentarius and Member States are invited to join an electronic forum (e-forum) next month.
The forum, open on 1 October-14 November 2003, will provide an opportunity for discussions based on a series of short background papers.
Topics will include management, working procedures, communication, transparency, selection of experts and data collection.
The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) are implementing a consultative process on means to improve the provision of scientific advice to Codex and to FAO/WHO Member Countries.
The study will review issues related to the independence, transparency, timeliness, efficiency, integrity, sustainability and quality of the advice.
Steps in the consultative process, already agreed upon by FAO and WHO, consist of a planning meeting, an electronic forum, a workshop and an expert consultation, all scheduled to take place over the next year.
