Resumen
Descripción
The challenge posed by food safety has become increasingly important due to a range of factors such as increasing volume and diversity of international trade in foods and greater public demand for health protection. In this context, there was an urgent need for member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to enhance their technical capacity to make a meaningful contribution to international/regional food standards development and their implementation. This entailed not only understanding of the requirements of Codex Alimentarius standards, but also effective participation in the Codex standards setting process. The aim of the project, therefore, was to strengthen the capacities of ASEAN countries in engaging in Codex Alimentarius works and to enhance the relationship between the target countries and the donor.
