CCLAC / Latin America and the Caribbean region gears up for CCLAC22
by the Regional Coordinator of CCLAC
The Codex Coordinating Committee for Latin America and Caribbean (CCLAC) has concluded its "Regional Workshop for the popularization of Codex Alimentarius work in CCLAC countries 2020-2022". The purpose of the workshop was for the different countries of the region, to share experiences and activities related to Codex work, such as meetings attended, events held and the different areas of interest in which they are working. Similarly, the workshop extended messages about the importance of countries’ participation not only in regional matters but also in work carried out in coordination with the Codex Secretariat.
CCLAC supports the work of Codex in favour of consumer health, fair practices in food trade and the deverlopment of the people in the region.

Organizers were glad to see what efforts had been made regarding Codex work in countries, and what had been achieved, despite the current challenges. Countries also expressed great interest in continuing, reinforcing and advancing in the elaboration of international reference standards, as well as in supporting and participating in different areas of Codex work.
There was a total of 23 exhibiting countries, with around 35 participants per day over a 7-day period. For those countries that could not be present due to scheduling issues, different activities will be organized. The information provided is of importance and will provide constructive input for the 22nd CCLAC meeting.

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.
