En 1999, la vingt-troisième session de la Commission du Codex Alimentarius a créé le Comité de coordination régional pour le Proche-Orient, qui regroupe les pays de la région Proche-Orient (pour la FAO) et de la région de la Méditerranée orientale (pour l’OMS). Le Comité a organisé sa première session au Caire (Égypte) en 2001.
À l’heure actuelle, le coordonnateur régional pour le Proche-Orient opère au sein du Bureau de l’Autorité saoudienne de surveillance des aliments et des médicaments à Riyad.
Le coordonnateur souhaite développer et renforcer les Points de contact du Codex et les Comités nationaux du Codex, mais aussi améliorer la communication et la coordination entre les Membres du CCNE, avec les autres régions et avec le Secrétariat du Codex.
Il a également pour objectif de développer les échanges d’expertise scientifique et technique entre pays plus ou moins expérimentés dans la région.
Le coordonnateur veut promouvoir les normes du Codex pour jeter les bases d’une législation et de réglementations nationales, mais aussi poursuivre les travaux d’élaboration et d’examen des normes du Codex tout en tenant compte des intérêts régionaux.
