2 History of World Standard Day On October 14th, 1946, delegates from 25 countries gathered in London, England to create a new international organization dedicated to the coordination and unification of standards work. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was officially formed one year later. To commemorate this occasion, World Standards Day was first held on October 14t h, 1970, and the spirit of celebration has since expanded to include members of ISO, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). Aim of World Standard Day To raise awareness among regulators, industry and consumers as to the importance of standardization to the global economy

22 Codex Alimentarius Commission Currently the Codex Alimentarius Commission has 189 Codex Members made up of 188 Member Countries and 1 Member Organization (The European Union). Codex standards ensure that food is safe and can be traded. The 188 Codex members have negotiated science based recommendations in all areas related to food safety and quality. Codex food safety texts are a reference in WTO trade disputes.

23 C O D E X A L I M E N T A R I U S C O D E X A L I M E N T A R I U S is about safe, good food for everyone - everywhere. International food trade has existed for thousands of years but until not too long ago food was mainly produced, sold and consumed locally. Over the last century the amount of food traded internationally has grown exponentially, and a quantity and variety of food never before possible travels the globe today. C O D E X A L I M E N T A R I U S international food standards, guidelines and codes of practice contribute to the safety, quality and fairness of this international food trade. Consumers can trust the safety and quality of the food products they buy and importers can trust that the food they ordered will be in accordance with their specifications.

24 Scope of the Codex Alimentarius The Codex Alimentarius includes standards for all the principal foods, whether processed, semi-processed or raw, for distribution to the consumer. Materials for further processing into foods should be included to the extent necessary to achieve the purposes of the Codex Alimentarius as defined. The Codex Alimentarius includes provisions in respect of food hygiene, food additives, residues of pesticides and veterinary drugs, contaminants, labelling and presentation, methods of analysis and sampling, and import and export inspection and certification.

25 Nature of Codex Standards Codex standards and related texts are not a substitute for, or alternative to national legislation. Every country s laws and administrative procedures contain provisions with which it is essential to comply. Codex standards and related texts contain requirements for food aimed at ensuring for the consumer a safe, wholesome food product free from adulteration, correctly labelled and presented. A Codex standard for any food or foods should be drawn up in accordance with the Format for Codex Commodity Standards and contain, as appropriate, the sections listed therein.

26 Codex Committee on Fish and Fishery Products..(CCFFP) The Fish and Fishery Products Committee is responsible for elaborating standards for fresh and frozen fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. The 34th Session of the CCFFP met October 19-24, 2015 in Alesund, Norway. The next session of CCFFP will take place in (Date & Location TBA).

37 Benefit of Standard International Standards bring technological, economic and societal benefits. They help to harmonize technical and other specifications of products and services making industry more efficient and breaking down barriers to international trade. Conformity to International Standards helps reassure consumers that products are safe, efficient and good for the environment.

38 Protecting Consumer Health Public concerns about food safety issues often place Codex at the centre of global debates. Veterinary drugs, pesticides, food additives and contaminants are some of the issues discussed in Codex meetings. Codex standards are based on sound science provided by independent international risk assessment bodies or ad-hoc consultations organized by FAO and WHO. Removing Barriers to Trade Benefit of Standard The reference made to Codex food safety standards in the World Trade Organization's Agreement on Sanitary and Phytosanitary measures (SPS Agreement) means that Codex has far reaching implications for 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.

39 Benefits of Standards: There are lots of benefits of using standards, like 1. Market Growth for new and emerging technologies. 2. Reduce development time and cost 3. Reduce market risks 4. Standards set the recognized level of quality. 5. Increase productivity and enhance efficiency 6. Ultimately reduce cost for consumers 7. Standards ensure that products perform the functions manufactured for. 8. Standards facilitate interchangeability of products and services designed for the same purpose

40 Advantages of Standards: There are many advantages of using standards, they are, Reducing costs Increasing productivity Reducing unnecessary variety Ensuring interchangeability Minimizing waste Ensuring safety Quality assurance

41 For International Trade by QCRS (ICU+ Lab:)

42 Currently practice of food Safety Management based on selected market requirements DOF is CA for export and import of fish and fishery products DOF comply with WTO-SPSAgreement DOF comply with EC regulations DOF comply with ASEAN common principle of food hygiene, control system and labeling (AEC) Industry comply with GMP/SSOP/HACCP and ISO and ISO ASEAN-SEAFDEC plan of action for sustainable development in fisheries sector (2020) DOF Participating in combating IUU ASEAN Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed ASEAN Food Safety Policy

43 Suggestions to all sectors All of Myanmar products must create or follow the international standards like ISO, CODEX and so on by putting some additional point and cut off their facts which are unable to practice with our Nationality status. Therefore we can prevent any barrier in international trade. Now MMS are voluntary so DoF can order to all of Fishery producer as Directive If DRI will announce to do as Mandatory
