Established by FAO and the WHO in 1963 to develop harmonised international food standards, which protect consumer health and promote fair practices in food trade. It is referenced by the WTO Agreement on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS Agreement) in resolving trade disputes: WTO members that wish to apply stricter food safety measures than those set by Codex may be required to justify these measures scientifically.

  • Non-tariff measures increasing in prominence

and complexity in all countries.

  • NTBs include opaque rules, arbitrary standards

that are not based in science, and Customs and other import procedures that are slow, costly and excessive.

  • Among all NTBs, Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT)

and Sanitary and Phyto-Sanitary (SPS) measures are found to be the most burdensome.

  • The various barriers can raise food prices,

undermine food quality, impact on food availability and impose extra burdens on small businesses.

  • The foremost recommendation is to improve

communication between stakeholders.

  • Use consensus building to drive public-private

partnership to reduce uncertainty.

CONCLUSIONS

  • Private sector plays a key role in national standards setting
  • National regulatory standards not only affects domestic products,

but also affects trade

  • International / Regional harmonisation of regulation is important for

economic integration

  • Capacity building and information exchange through public-private

partnership are essential for effective implementation and better convergence of regulations
