The Codex Alimentarius Commission was created in 1963 by FAO and WHO to develop food standards, guidelines and related texts such as codes of practice under the Joint FAO/WHO Food Standards Programme. The main purposes of this Programme are protecting health of the consumers and ensuring fair trade practices in the food trade, and promoting coordination of all food standards work undertaken by international governmental and non-governmental organizations.

Saving paper

Please remember to bring your set of documents to the Commission.
We will provide one complete set for each Head of Delegation which will be placed in the Plenary Hall's country seat. Other sets and/or single documents will be printed upon request at the venue which will mean a certain time delay.
LIM and late documents will be available as usual.
Thank you very much for your cooperation.
