En 1999, durante el 23.º período de sesiones de la Comisión del Codex Alimentarius, se estableció el Comité Coordinador Regional para el Cercano Oriente, que reúne a los países de la región del Cercano Oriente (para la FAO) y de la región del Mediterráneo Oriental (para la OMS). El comité celebró su primera reunión en El Cairo (Egipto), en 2001.
El actual coordinador regional para el Cercano Oriente tiene su sede en la Autoridad de Alimentos y Medicamentos de Arabia Saudita, en Riad.
Son objetivos del coordinador, a la hora de liderar a la región en el Codex, potenciar el desarrollo y el fortalecimiento de los puntos de contacto del Codex y los comités nacionales del Codex, así como mejorar la comunicación y la coordinación entre los miembros del CCNE, con otras regiones y con la Secretaría del Codex.
Otro de sus objetivos es desarrollar el intercambio de conocimientos científicos y técnicos entre los países con más experiencia de la región y los que cuentan con menos experiencia.
El coordinador se propone fomentar el uso de las normas del Codex como base para la legislación y las normativas nacionales y continuar el trabajo de desarrollo y revisión de las normas del Codex teniendo en cuenta los intereses regionales.
