The annual Joint Meeting of the FAO Panel of Experts on Pesticide Residues in Food and the Environment and the WHO Core Assessment Group on Pesticide Residues was held in Geneva, Switzerland from 16 to 25 September 2009. The Meeting was held in pursuance of recommendations made by previous Meetings and accepted by the governing bodies of FAO and WHO that studies should be undertaken jointly by experts to evaluate possible hazards to humans arising from the occurrence of pesticide residues in foods. This report contains information on ADIs, ARfDs, maximum residue levels, and general principles for the evaluation of pesticides. The recommendations of the Joint Meeting, including further research and information, are proposed for use by Member governments of the FAO and WHO and other interested parties.

The first version of this manual was printed in 1997 as a working document with the aim of consolidating the procedures used by the FAO Panel of experts on pesticide residues. Since then there have been many developments in the scientific evaluation process of the Joint Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR), administrated by FAO and the World Health Organization. The present manual incorporates all relevant information and principles that are currently used by the JMPR to estimate maximum residue levels (MRLs), supervised trials median residue (STMR) values and dietary risk from pesticide residues. Its aim is also to improve communications between the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR) and its member countries and other participants in the CCPR and to explain the procedures being adopted by the FAO Panel of the JMPR.

These Guidelines have been developed in response to requests for further information on the practical adoption and application of the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF), with a special focus on its human dimensions. As implementation of EAF is a human pursuit and takes place in the context of societal goals and aspirations, the human forces at play need to be understood and considered - these include policies, legal frameworks, social structures, cultural values, economic principles, institutional processes and any other relevant form or expression of human behaviour.

The Technical Workshop considered global and country specific information on shark fisheries and trade to identify limitations and strategies for improving their monitoring. Reports from a selected number of main shark fishing and trading nations described the status of shark fisheries and the efforts towards the development of a National Plan of Action for Sharks. The workshop recommended actions to promote the implementation of National Plans of Action for Sharks and to address specific problems affecting catch and trade monitoring, including lack specificity in data, underestimated catch volumes, and limitations in the customs codes used in trade monitoring.

(Co-publised with, and available from, Woodhead, UK. Not available for sale from FAO) Increasingly, consumers desire information about the health, safety, environmental and socioeconomic characteristics of food products. These traits often cannot be detected by sight, smell or taste. Therefore, consumers must use food labels to select products that meet their needs and preferences. Innovations in food labelling provides information about the principles and requirements of food labelling and reviews the latest trends in this important area. Following an introduction on the evolution of food labelling, further chapters cover the Codex Alimentarius and food labelling, international trade agreements, nutrition labelling, allergies and food labels and environmental and social labels, among other topics. An essential reference for food regulatory agencies, food law experts and professionals in the food industry responsible for labelling as well as consumer and environmental associations with an interest in labelling.

Salmonella and campylobacteriosis are among the most frequently reported foodborne diseases worldwide. Codex Alimentarius Commission agreed that guidelines for the control of both diseases in poultry was a priority and initiated their development in 2007. In order to continue their work the Codex Committee in Food Hygiene requested FAO and WHO to provide them with the necessary scientific advice. In response to that a technical meeting was convened; the discussions and the outcome of which are documented in this report. This volume contains information that is useful to both risk assessors and risk managers, governments and food regulatory agencies, scientists, food producers and industries and other people or institutions with an interest in the area of microbiological hazards in food, their impact on human health and food trade and their control.

Le bien-être animal est de plus en plus reconnu comme un facteur important du succès du développement international. Il fait partie intégrante des programmes destines à améliorer la santé animale, à augmenter la production animale, à répondre aux catastrophes naturelles lorsque des animaux sont concernés et à améliorer l'adéquation entre la constitution génétique des animaux et les environnements dans lesquels ils sont élevés. Consciente de cet enjeu, la FAO a décidé de s'intéresser de façon plus explicite et stratégique au bien-être animal et, pour orienter ses activités, elle a organisé une réunion d'experts pour qu'ils apportent leurs conseils spécifiques sur le sujet . La session fut extrêmement productive et le rapport est d'une qualité exceptionnelle. Publié également en anglais et en espagnol.

La présente étude met en évidence l'importance d'une gestion globale dans des écosystèmes complexes de bassins versants, qui tienne compte des interactions entre l'eau, la forêt et d'autres utilisations des terres. Elle explique le rôle des forêts dans le cycle hydrologique, en mettant notamment l'accent sur certains écosystèmes forestiers particulièrement fragiles, tels que les forêts de montagne ou situées sur des pentes escarpées, les forêts ripicoles et les forêts marécageuses, et elle examine également le cas particulier des petites îles montagneuses. Cette publication sur l'état des connaissances intéressera un grand nombre d'experts techniques, de scientifiques et de décideurs. Également publié en anglais et en espagnol.
