The Codex Secretariat held a webinar in conjunction with the WHO Country office, in which the Mongolian Codex Contact Point and colleagues had the opportunity to improve their knowledge of the Online Commenting System (OCS) and digital platform for Electronic Working Groups (eWG).

Participants actively engaged in the hands-on session by asking questions and interacting with the Codex Secretariat afterward. The documents used during the training can be downloaded and other relevant materials may be requested of the trainers.

Linked to the series of workshops recently held in various regions, Codex Secretariat webinars are tailored to users’ requests and may include the use of the OCS, the eWG forum, information on the Codex step procedure, the web platform to collect information on Member countries’ food safety control systems and other Codex web tools.

“Having a good command of the Codex web tools allows colleagues at the national level to better engage in the international standard-setting process,” said Hilde Kruse, Senior Food Standards Officer at the Codex Secretariat, adding that these activities support broadening Member countries’ participation in Codex and making it more effective.
