El STDF publica su Informe anual 2018
Coinciendo con la celebración del primer Día Mundial de la Inocuidad de los Alimentos, el Fondo para la Aplicación de Normas y el Fomento del Comercio (STDF) publicó el 7 de junio su Informe anual 2018 titulado Invertir en un comercio seguro: ayudar a los países en desarrollo a cumplir las normas internacionales.
The theme of World Food Safety Day is “Food Safety, Everyone’s Business”. Along these lines, the STDF report sets out how small-scale farmers, processors, traders and governments in developing countries are being supported to meet international standards on food safety, animal and plant health.
The report shows how investments in safe trade play an important role in advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also outlined in the WTO Annual Report. The WTO is among the five founding partners of the STDF, with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), the World Bank Group and the World Health Organization (WHO).
Highlights from the report include how, thanks to the backing of STDF’s 13 donors, least developed countries (LDCs) and other low-income countries are receiving the most support from STDF projects. The publication also highlights how STDF’s partnership is driving the global dialogue on safe trade solutions, from building border agency collaboration to generating the evidence for better decision-making on food safety by the public and private sector.
