REPORT OF THE SEVENTH SESSION OF THE JOINT FAO/WHO CODEX ALIMENTARIUS COMMISSION Rome, 7-17 April 1970
238. The delegation of Mexico drew attention to the fact that, as
Mexico had participated for the first time in the Sixth Session of
the Commission, it had not been possible for Mexico to submit amendments
to the European Regional Standard for Honey. The Mexican
delegation stated that their country had requested a period of at
least one year to consider accepting the above standard. The Mexican
authorities were carefully examining the standard in accordance with
Step 9 and would reply concerning the acceptance of the Standard for
Honey indicating their decision. The delegations of Argentina, Canada,
Cuba, New Zealand, Venezuela, Peru and Israel associated themselves
with the point of view of the Mexican delegation, since, in their
opinion, the standard contained provisions which should be resolved
on a world-wide basis.
