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.

Raising awareness of food safety in Ireland
To raise awareness of World Food Safety Day 2022, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) will share a number of images on its Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram pages. The images feature quotes from a range of stakeholders within the Irish food industry from customers to inspectors to interest groups to food businesses. Each stakeholder is answering the question ‘What does food safety mean to me’?
“This campaign showcases the passionate, innovative approach that is taken to food safety in Ireland,” the organizers explained. “It also demonstrates the wide breadth of stakeholders that play a role in delivering our vision of safe and trustworthy food for everyone.”
FSAI World Food Safety Day celebrations will also include an event. On 8 June 2022, FSAI will host a Breakfast Bite webinar outlining what you can expect when an Environmental Health Officer (EHO) carries out an inspection on a food business. In the short Breakfast Bite, Philip Devenish (EHO) will put food business inspections into context answering questions and then running through the specifics of what the EHO assesses at food businesses.
Date and time: Wednesday, 8 June 2022 at 10:00 - 10:40 IST (11:00-11:40 CEST)
