A wonderful article, Emma.

 

I enjoyed reading Scott's account of the meeting.

 

(Sending a copy of this to a few ;-) others)

 

Kind regards

By Scott Tips - Codex Report 2004 " . . . to paraphrase Groucho Marx, 'I

had a perfectly wonderful week, but this wasn't it.'. . . The Chairman,

Dr. Grossklaus, began the discussion of this Agenda item by

peremptorily announcing that the Committee would only consider the few,

remaining sentences and words in the draft Guidelines that were

enclosed in brackets. Nothing else was to be considered or discussed.

Period. Dr. Grossklaus then immediately broke his own edict by

permitting the EU Representative, who (as William Faulkner once

remarked of Ernest Hemingway) 'has never been known to use a word that

might send a reader to the dictionary,' to liberally insert the word

'food' in front of 'supplements' throughout the Guidelines, even though

no brackets were involved there. This move was initially astounding but

became typical of the rest of the meeting as it became increasingly

clear that this was really a Meeting of Two, the EU Representative and

the Chairman. The rest of us were nothing more than road bumps on their

screeching drag race to regulatory heaven. . . And, by the interesting

way, the EU at these meetings also counts for more than populous India

or China. From what I can see, Third-World countries are either bought

out or shut out; and they do not speak up enough in defense of their

true interests. . . At another time, a couple of characters from the

International Alliance of Dietary/Food Supplement Associations (IADSA)

came up to the NHF's table to angrily complain that the NHF was

'ruining everything' by opposing the Guidelines. They seemed quite

unhappy, which confirmed to us that we were doing our job. IADSA is a

fan of 'reasonable' restrictions on consumer access to food

supplements, which restrictions are actually not reasonable at all but

truly harsh and anti-consumer. It is hard for me to believe that

IADSA's member associations and companies would knowingly spend money

to have IADSA as their representative at these meetings promoting these

anti-supplement views while it runs up after-hours bar tabs with its EU

Representative buddy. . . "
