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.

World Food Safety Day celebrated by airline caterers
LSG Group celebrated World Food Safety Day with special events happening at LSG Sky Chefs facilities around the world. Many of the company’s employees joined in the celebration. Together, they not only created awareness for food safety but also showed their commitment.
As a quality and technology leader in airline catering, food safety is an integral part of the LSG Group’s business. “It is only logical that we shine a spotlight on this highly important topic and celebrate World Food Safety Day,” said Wilken Bormann, Chief Financial Officer of the LSG Group. “However, every day is food safety day in our company, and I am grateful for our people’s contributions in this area.”
A special campaign channel was established on the company’s internal employee platform where people already began uploading content on 3 June. Many of them used the World Food Safety Day promotion materials provided by FAO and WHO.
"World Food Safety Day is a wonderful opportunity for us to celebrate the importance of our daily work, thank all our employees and show our commitment to food safety," explained Rosimeire Miranda, Quality Director North America. "Some of our locations hosted parties with special food and cake, and there were speeches from the management," added Canan Mendes, Head of Global Food Safety and Compliance. Vanessa Walz, Director Food Safety, concludes: “So many of our staff posted pictures and videos in our dedicated campaign channel. We are proud that all of them participated and celebrated World Food Safety Day!"
