PART XXI

FUTURE WORK

198. The delegation of Poland proposed that the Commission undertake the standardization of rice. The Secretariat mentioned the work already done by FAO on grading of rice, the activities of ISO and the International Office of Cereals in the field of standardization of cereals.

199. The delegation of Hungary proposed that a general survey on the existing organizations and inspection systems on food products in the different countries of the world should be undertaken in order to select the best methods. The Secretariat said that it might be possible to provide a bibliography on this subject but the present resources were not sufficient to undertake such a survey.

200. The Commission noted that countries wishing to make proposals for future work should have regard to the Justification Criteria for the Elaboration of Codex Standards set out in Appendix IX of this Report.

201. It was agreed that at the next session of the Commission future work for the next five or ten years should be considered.
