В 1964 году на второй сессии Комиссии Кодекса Алиментариус был учрежден Координационный комитет по Европе, пришедший на смену Европейскому совету “Кодекс Алиментариус” и заменивший собой Консультативную группу по Европе, сформированную на первой сессии в 1963 году.
В первом заседании Координационного комитета по Европе, проходившем в июле 1965 года в Берне (Швейцария) участвовали 16 стран региона.
Исполнительным органом действующего координатора – Германии – выступает Федеральное министерство продовольствия и сельского хозяйства (BMEL).
Основными приоритетами Германии на посту координатора являются:
- устранение барьеров, препятствующих участию членов региона в работе Кодекса;
- разъяснение роли Кодекса и концепции безопасности пищевых продуктов в переходе к устойчивым продовольственным системам; и
- содействие применению стандартов Кодекса в таких приоритетных областях, как устойчивость к противомикробным препаратам (УПП).
Занимаясь этими приоритетными задачами, координатор будет полагаться на синергию мероприятий международного и регионального уровня, проводимых Секретариатом Кодекса, ФАО и ВОЗ, а также наблюдателями Кодекса.
