A Mechanism For The Exchange Of Official Information on Food Safety, Animal And Plant Health
This paper describes an FAO initiative to provide a single mechanism - the Biosecurity Portal - for the exchange of official information on food safety, animal and plant health, as related to the FAO mandate. Information will be provided from national and international agencies maintaining 'ownership' of the information. FAO will provide the mechanism and technical support for the Portal so that official information can be made available and readily accessed in a coordinated way. Examples of the type of information that could be accessible via the Biosecurity Portal are given, as is the likely technical assistance that FAO could provide to facilitate this. Access to the Biosecurity Portal will be widely available and free, although certain areas may be developed with restricted access limited to Member countries. It is Internet based to ensure wide usage and cost effectiveness.
