Members’ webinar to launch STDF’s 2019 Annual Report highlights World Food Safety Day
On 11 June, the Standards and Trade Development Facility (STDF) members held an online session to launch STDF’s 2019 Annual Report, in the context of World Food Safety Day 2020.
The webinar presented the new Report, “Facing the future: shaping safe trade outcomes” to Working Group members who tuned in from STDF’s trade, health, agriculture and development expert network. Julie Emond from Canada, Working Group Chair, opened the webinar, which was led and moderated by Marlynne Hopper, Deputy Head of the STDF.
In the current context where pests and diseases can spread worldwide, promoting food safety – alongside animal and plant health – across supply chains is a global public good. The webinar underlined how STDF is building multi-stakeholder action in this area, investing in safe trade systems and scaling up assistance for developing countries, which in turn will help to support economic recovery. Case studies featured in the STDF 2019 Annual Report set out how to act in partnership to safeguard the future of food safety at regional and global level.

At the heart of the Codex mandate are the core values of collaboration, inclusiveness, consensus building and transparency. Governmental and non-governmental, public and private organizations alike play a vital role in ensuring Codex texts are of the highest quality and based on sound science.
Codex would have little authority in the field of international standard setting if it did not welcome and acknowledge the valuable contributions made by observers. Expert technical bodies, industry and consumer associations
contribute to the standard-setting process in a spirit of openness, collaboration and transparency.
Intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can apply for observer status in Codex in order to attend and put forward their views at every stage of the standard-setting process.
