The benefit of harmonized health and sanitary regulations in the world of international trade

The paper present a detailed description of the work of the three most important international scientific organizations that set standars, hygiene codes, certification methods, and that distribute information on these regulations. Participants described national experiences and they pointed out that the main obstacles to the export of products are barriers linked to animal health and plant protection, and that solutions have been sought to this problem by using the CODEX and GATT standards. However, some countries do not immediately adopt certain CODEX regulations, since if they do, they themselves must comply with them. The discussion and comments clearly highlighted the need for all the countries of LAC to achieve true integration with regards to these types of regulations. (MIBA)
