FAO and WHO have a long history of providing scientific advice to the Codex Alimentarius Commission and its subsidiary bodies and to Member Countries. A Joint FAO/WHO Workshop was held to review and provide guidance to the two organizations on additional ways to improve the quality, quantity and timeliness of the scientific advice provided. The Workshop was part of a broader consultative process of which the first stage had been an e-forum conducted end-2003. The Workshop focused on th e principles, management and procedures associated with the provision of scientific advice within the FAO/WHO system. The main components of this work currently include JECFA, JMPR, JEMRA, and ad hoc expert consultations (whether scheduled or held in situations of emergency). Recognizing that the Codex Alimentarius Commission and its subsidiary bodies are important clients of FAO/WHO scientific advice, and taking account of the recommendations of the Codex Evaluation, the Workshop also consid ered the linkages and interaction between FAO, WHO and Codex where they have an impact on the provision of scientific advice.

FAO/World Health Organization (WHO) scientific advice is essential for Codex Alimentarius Commission and member countries. The demand for this advice has increased in line with rapid technological and trade developments. It was therefore necessary to mobilize technical, financial and human resources to support FAO/WHO activities on the provision of scientific advice in food safety and nutrition, and to promote its timeliness, while ensuring the continuation of the highest level of integrity and quality.
