国际食品法典委员会秘书长汤姆·海兰德 主题演讲

以下为主题演讲全文：

女士们先生们，大家好！

今年我在罗马向你们问好，欢迎你们来到上海中国国际进口博览会——第十五届“一带一路”生态农业与食品安全论坛。我知道再过几个小时论坛就要开始了。此次论坛的主题是深化农业与食品务实合作 促进“一带一路”民心相通。这个主题与国际食品法典的机构宗旨是高度一致的。国际食品法典的整体工作是在“四个更好”原则指导下展开的：更好的生产，更好的营养，更好的环境为了更好的生活。

我这次的演讲比较简短，并没有用事先准备好的材料，是因为国际食品法典正在召开第81届执行委员会会议。今天再过两个小时，我们将通过报告。近两周内，我们的工作取得了非常大的成绩。我想与你们分享一些我们此时在罗马一个电台演播室内的图片。我们在背景中可以看到吉列尔梅·科斯塔（国际食品法典委员会主席），他也想向你们当面表达问候，但是他现在非常繁忙。下周他将抵达罗马，加入我们的食品法典委员会第44届会议。届时，我们两个都会在罗马的这个演播室内，也希望你们中的很多人可以参加。我们未来有很多的工作要处理。其中将对关于抗菌剂使用的重要议题作出决议，因为在韩国的专责小组已经完成了他们的工作。这对于国际食品安全和公共卫生具有重大的意义。我们届时将非常乐意对此为各国给予指导，促进食品产品贸易的持续进行。会议议程中还包括对于食品外包装标签的指导，这对于消费者的健康饮食至关重要。

我们还将马上进行换届选举。吉列尔梅·科斯塔将最后一次作为主席出席会议。我们将会选举出新的主席和副主席。在当下的环境中，情况将比较复杂：会议将会在线举行，法典的主席和副主席将会和我们一起在罗马出席会议，而选举将在日内瓦举行。接下来的一段时间将是激动人心的。我衷心地希望你们明天的论坛取得成功。我也希望明年我能在上海或者任何别的地方和你们在论坛上见面。我非常想念中国，但是在这个非常时期，旅行变得非常复杂。在虚拟的世界中，我们仍然会有很多机会见面。所以在下一届的论坛上，希望我们可以试着和论坛秘书会协调，我至少可以实时在线的参加论坛，而不是以视频录像的形式。祝愿论坛圆满成功。我想重申，食品安全和标准是全球供应链的基石。全球供应链的健康运行离不开标准，和共同制定标准的人们。

非常感谢，希望能很快见到你们！

Greetings! Ladies and gentlemen，

I am greeting from Rome this year, to welcome you to the 15th Belt and Road Eco-Agriculture and Food Safety Forum, that you are holding in Shanghai, at China International Import Expo. I know that you will open in a few hours from when I am speaking this now. And your theme is: secure food safety for global supply chain for people’s better life. And as you know this is very much aligned with the goals of Codex Alimentarius, where we are working under the overall guidance of the “four betters”: better production, better nutrition, better environment for better life.

 

I am greeting you a little bit shorter this time, not really with a prepared speech. It is because we are right in the middle of the 84^th session of the executive committee of the Codex Alimentarius Commission. Today, just in 2 hours, we are going to have the adoption of the report. We had great work this week and last week.

 

I am sharing with you, behind me, some of the images, because we are here in Rome in a TV studio. The chairperson Guilherme, in the back. He would like to greet you as well. But he is very very busy. And he is going to travel to Rome also to be with us next week for the commission - for the 44^th session of the Codex Alimentarius Commission, where we will be in a TV studio in Rome, both of us. And I hope that many of you can participate in that.

 

Now we have a lot of work in front of us. We have the important topic of antimicrobial resistance to conclude. Because our task force that was held in the Republic of Korea, and hosted by the Republic of Korea, has finished its work. That (antimicrobial resistance) is a very important thread for international food safety and public health. So we will be very happy to give guidance to countries on this, to enable trade of food products to continue to flow. Also on our agenda, there is the adoption of the guidance on frontal pack labeling, which is important for consumers to be able to compose a healthy diet. We also have our elections coming up. So our chairperson will be with us the last time as a chair. And we will have an election, we will have a new chairperson and vice chairpersons. As always, it is very complicated these days: the commission will be virtual, chairperson and vice chairpersons will be with us in Rome, and the election will take place in Geneva. it is an exiting time.

 

I wish you for the best for your meeting, that it is going to be tomorrow. I hope that next year I will be with you in Shanghai, or where ever you are holding the meeting in China. I miss coming to China a lot. But for the understanding that at the moment, travel is very complicated. In the virtual world we have a lot of opportunistic also to meet. So at the next meeting, at least I would like to be with you live, not as recording. We try to set that up together with the secretariat.

 

All the best for your meeting!

 

Again, food safety and standards are important building blocks of supply chains. Global supply chain cannot function safely, if you do not have the standards, if you do not have the people working on it, and working on it together.

 

Thank you very much and I hope to see you soon.
