لجنة التنسيق للدستور الغذائي في أمريكا الشمالية وجنوب غرب المحيط الهادئ - المنسق الإقليمي فيجي

وافقت الدورة الثامنة عشر لهيئة الدستور الغذائي، التي عُقدت في عام 1989، على إنشاء لجنة التنسيق لهيئة الدستور الغذائي في أمريكا الشمالية وجنوب غرب المحيط الهادئ، حيث جمعت على حد تعبير وفد نيوزيلندا "البلدان النائية ... التي لديها العديد من المصالح المشتركة".

وتُمثل لجنة التنسيق لهيئة الدستور الغذائي في أمريكا الشمالية وجنوب غرب المحيط الهادئ منطقة متنوعة بشكل ملحوظ تجمع بين الاقتصادات الناضجة تماما مثل الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية وكندا وأستراليا ونيوزيلندا و10 دول جزرية صغيرة، أكبرها هي بابوا غينيا الجديدة (أكثر من 7 ملايين نسمة) وأصغرها جزر كوك وناورو التي يبلغ عدد سكانها حوالي 10000 نسمة.

ويقع مقر المنسق الإقليمي في وزارة الزراعة في فيجي.

كما تتطلع دولة فيجي إلى تطبيق المواصفات على المستوى الوطني ودعم جميع البلدان في المنطقة، ولا سيما الدول الجزرية الصغيرة النامية، لوضع إطار سياساتي سليم لسلامة الأغذية. وستدعم هذه المبادرات التحسينات في الصحة العامة، وتضمن أن الأغذية المستوردة آمنة وتتحلى بالجودة المتوقعة وتزيد من فرص الوصول إلى الأسواق الدولية.

وسيواصل المنسق الإقليمي دعم العمل المتعلق بالمواصفات الإقليمية، كما سيسعى إلى تعزيز مشاركة المنطقة في هيئة الدستور الغذائي بشكل عام. ويمكن تحقيق ذلك من خلال الاستمرار في تطوير القدرات على المستوى الوطني من خلال تعزيز دور المنسقين الوطنيين وتحسين نقاط الاتصال لزيادة المشاركة الفعالة في هيئة الدستور الغذائي.
