Descripción
The Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) is an expert ad hoc body administered jointly by FAO and WHO in the purpose of harmonizing the requirement and the risk assessment on the pesticide residues, and provides independent scientific advice to the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) and its specialist Committee on Pesticide Residues as well as to FAO, WHO and member countries. JMPR is comprised of the FAO Panel on Pesticide Residues and the WHO Core Assessment Group. The JMPR consists of experts drawn from governments and academic circles. They attend as independent internationally recognized specialists who act in a personal capacity and not as representatives of national governments. JMPR has met annually since 1963 to conduct scientific evaluations of pesticide residues in food. One of the functions of the JMPR is to recommend Maximum Residue Levels to the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR) which then provide the basis for the establishment of Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) by the CAC and are now recognized as international reference points for international trade under the Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) and Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Agreements of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
