Région du Comité FAO/OMS de coordination pour le Proche-Orient (CCNE) - Coordonnateur régional: Oman

En 1999, la la 23e session de la Commission du Codex Alimentarius a créé le Comité régional de coordination 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.

Le Coordonnateur régional actuel pour le Proche-Orient opère au sein du Centre de sécurité sanitaire et de qualité des aliments du Ministère de l’agriculture, des richesses halieutiques et des ressources en eau à Mascate (Sultanat d’Oman).

Au travers de ses rôles de Coordonnateur régional pour le Proche-Orient et de Président du Comité régional du Codex FAO/OMS de coordination pour le Proche-Orient, le Sultanat d’Oman a défini les objectifs suivants:

  • intensifier les efforts pour promouvoir une participation efficace des pays membres et de toutes les parties prenantes, y compris les producteurs, les consommateurs et les organisations gouvernementales et non gouvernementales pertinentes de la région Proche-Orient, aux débats du Codex Alimentarius;
  • continuer à mettre en place et à renforcer les capacités nationales au sein des États membres et des organisations régionales pour favoriser une participation efficace dans le cadre de l’élaboration de normes alimentaires internationales;
  • s’assurer que le développement des normes du Codex Alimentarius, au niveau mondial, tienne compte des spécificités de la production et de la consommation alimentaires dans la région du Proche-Orient;
  • promouvoir l’adoption et l’utilisation des normes du Codex pour prendre des décisions nationales de réglementation alimentaire au sein des États membres de la région. Cela aura une incidence positive sur la santé des consommateurs et facilitera le commerce de produits alimentaires aux niveaux régional et international, et contribuera davantage à l’essor de la production alimentaire dans la région, avec une compétitivité accrue à la fois sur le plan régional et sur le plan international.
