В 1999 году на 23-й сессии Комиссии “Кодекс Алиментариус” был учрежден Региональный координационный комитет по Ближнему Востоку, объединивший страны Ближнего Востока (для ФАО) и Восточного Средиземноморья (для ВОЗ). Первое заседание комитета состоялось в Каире (Египет) в 2001 году.
В настоящее время региональный координатор по Ближнему Востоку базируется в Центре обеспечения безопасности и качества пищевых продуктов при Министерстве сельского хозяйства, рыболовства и водных ресурсов в Маскате.
Выступая в роли регионального координатора по Ближнему Востоку и председателя Координационного комитета ФАО/ВОЗ по Ближнему Востоку, Султанат Оман ставит перед собой следующие задачи:
- Активизировать усилия, направленные на содействие эффективному участию стран-членов и всех заинтересованных сторон, включая производителей, потребителей и соответствующие правительственные и неправительственные организации Ближневосточного региона, в работе Кодекса Алиментариус.
- Продолжить наращивать и укреплять национальный потенциал государств-членов и региональных организаций с целью обеспечения возможности эффективного участия в учреждении международных стандартов на пищевые продукты.
- Следить за тем, чтобы при разработке стандартов Кодекса Алиментариус на глобальном уровне учитывались особенности производства и потребления пищевых продуктов в Ближневосточном регионе.
- Способствовать принятию и применению стандартов Кодекса в качестве основы для национальных решений по регулированию пищевых продуктов в государствах-членах региона. Это положительно отразится на здоровье потребителей и облегчит торговлю пищевыми продуктами как на региональном, так и на международном уровне, а также будет способствовать развитию производства продуктов питания в регионе и повышению их конкурентоспособности на региональном и международном рынке.
