For example, there should ideally be one international reference OA production standard (e.g. Codex or IFOAM basic standard), with flexible implementation.

It was he who broke the Mayan codex, enabling scholars to relate the pictographs on Mayan ceramics to the hieroglyphs of the Mayan script.

Although the Codex Alimentarius Commission was accepted as the default international standards setting body, different fish standards could still be applied by importing countries.

I, myself, I'm actually involved in the team which is developing a CODEX, high resolution, future generation spectrograph for the 42 meter E ELT telescope.

Adherence to Codex standards helps to ensure the safety of food exports, which can lead to greater access to export markets, especially those in developed countries.

(a) Participation in the twenty first session of the joint FAO WHO Food Standards Programme for the Codex Alimentarius Commission, held in July 1995 at FAO headquarters in Rome.

(b) A large number of national standards for foodstuffs, hygienic norms and requirements have been brought into conformity with the relevant recommendations of the Codex Alimentarius, the ECE, FAO and WHO

For example, in Turin, Italy, CODEX has been successful in ensuring increased resources, better targeting and the sustainability of SME support services by developing partnerships between local government and the private sector.

The organization has organized 33 regional and 26 national workshops on sanitary and phytosanitary measures, at which representatives of the Codex Alimentarius Commission, the World Organization for Animal Health, and the International Plant Protection Convention participated.

The work plan for 2005 includes a detailed comparative analysis of Codex and IFOAM standards to identify any potentially difficult areas of compatibility and a study testing consumer awareness of and sensitivity to differences in organic standards.

Accordingly, the Codex Alimentarius Commission5 has adopted principles for risk analysis of such substances in general, as well as guidelines for food safety assessment of foods derived from recombinant DNA plants and from recombinant DNA micro organisms.

In this connection, the impact of international standard setting, especially in the form of SPS measures and the Codex Alimentarius, the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system and ISO standards, was of particular interest to some delegations.

In addition to international instruments (such as the Codex Alimentarius), industrialized countries applied domestic guidelines (such as those of the United States Food and Drug Administration) to regulate safety, health, environmental considerations, packaging, animal health, and labelling of food imports.

The MRL for chlorpyrifos (a toxic substance found in some pesticides) in mangoes, for instance, has recently been tightened from 0.5 PPM to 0.05 PPM, that is 10 to 20 times stricter than the MRLs applied by other developed countries and the Codex recommended MRL.

The current codex guideline levels for radionuclides in foods following accidental nuclear contamination for use in international trade are currently being revised to cover a wider range of situations and to serve as generic intervention levels for a year or more following a nuclear or radiological event.

Most biotechnology related activities within the United Nations are in the areas of biosafety and the environment.

3. Given the importance of international standards in the context of the WTO s Agreement on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS) and the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), governments of developing countries were encouraged to participate more actively in the work of the Codex Alimentarius Commission and its subsidiary bodies, as well as in other international standard setting bodies.

36. Governments can also outsource or subcontract support activities (to agencies like Turin apos s CODEX, for example). The private sector, including large enterprises, may also have an interest in creating programmes in the context of the development of their future markets and in practice has been willing to invest therein (banks, telecommunications services) in developed, developing and least developed countries.
