Summary

The discussion in the paper leads to the following conclusions: 1) each nation must take its own actions to upgrade its food control systems. Substantial financial assistance apart from technical assistance is required for capacity building in developing countries. A global food safety fund has to be set up; 2) a national plan of action must be prepared, including a national HACCP training and implementation plan; 3) WHO/FAO should become the coordinator; 4) some continuous technical support in the form of experts is necessary to help in the above activities; 5) all proposed activities must eventually create capacity building by virtue of strengthening of institutions in a country which will provide the sustainability. The nature of strengthening must be specified; 6) WHO/FAO facilitate data generation from developing countries for Codex standard setting; 7) data bases of import requirements of developed countries have to be prepared; 8) for various areas, Web-based training and awareness-raising programmes have to be prepared.
