Food Safety Quadrilateral Meeting – Animal Health
This yearly meeting was hosted by New Zealand at Paihia in conjunction with the Animal Health Quadrilateral Meeting. The meeting provides for regulators from Australia, USA, Canada and New Zealand to discuss topics of mutual interest.
In the ACVM area of interest, topics this year included discussion of:
• private standards (those set by non-government bodies such as supermarket chains that exporters need to meet to sell their produce) with respect to their current and future impacts
• Codex Committees, their funding and setup
• risk management of low level chemicals in the environment.
The other topic of interest was the weather – a number of delegates had an unscheduled stopover due to closure of roads and airports after rain caused widespread flooding.
