The CCEURO Region - Regional Coordinator Germany

In 1964, at its second session, the Codex Alimentarius Commission established the Coordinating Committee for Europe to succeed the 'European Council of the Codex Alimentarius' and to replace the 'Advisory Group for Europe' set up at its first session in 1963.

The first meeting of the Coordinating Committee for Europe took place in July 1965 in Berne, Switzerland and was attended by 16 countries from the region.

The current coordinator, Germany, is based in the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL).

Germany’s main priorities as coordinator are to:

  • reduce barriers to active participation of Members of the region in Codex work;
  • increase the awareness of the role of Codex and food safety in general in the transition towards sustainable food systems; and
  • promote the use of Codex standards in priority areas such as antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

In addressing these priorities, the coordinator will use synergies from international and regional level activities of the Codex Secretariat, FAO and WHO as well as Codex Observers.
