CCFFP37 / Fish And Fishery Products Committee Under Way By Correspondence
09 April 2026, Rome: The Codex Committee on Fish and Fishery Products (CCFFP) has started its 37th session, which is taking place over a one-month period, by correspondence.
CCFFP37 will, amongst other things, address the conversion of the Regional standard for laver products (Asia) (CXS 323R-2017) into a worldwide standard, and consider new work proposals on other seaweed species and/or other aquatic species. Also on the agenda is a review of the standards for fish and fishery products to ensure they are up to date in terms of format, taxonomic accuracy, and relatedness to more recently developed Codex texts.
Working by correspondence for CCFFP37 means contributing to discussions in the Codex online forum according to a schedule of work that allocates days on which correspondence can be submitted for each individual agenda item before a draft conclusion for the respective item is proposed for agreement. Adoption of the agenda is taking place over a three-day period (7-9 April), and a 16-day period has been allocated to CXS 323R-2017, starting on Thursday 9 April 2026.
The report will be adopted, also via correspondence, over a three-day period 6–8 May.
