Considerations for competent authorities and livestock industries on use of African swine fever vaccines (Genotype II) to enhance disease control

No full textEste manual está dirigido a los participantes en los grupos de trabajo electrónicos (GTE) del Codex que están aumentando su participación en las actividades del Codex o liderando por primera vez iniciativas a nivel de comité. Se ofrece orientación clara y práctica, con sugerencias y consejos para establecer, gestionar, participar e informar sobre los GTE. Estos grupos de trabajo se han convertido en una herramienta muy utilizada para avanzar en la labor entre las reuniones de los órganos auxiliares de la Comisión del Codex Alimentarius. Permiten a los miembros del Codex y a las organizaciones observadoras, cuyos representantes no pueden asistir a las reuniones, seguir y contribuir a temas de trabajo específicos. Si bien el Manual de Procedimiento del Codex describe las directrices generales de los GTE, no incluye los conocimientos adquiridos a partir de la experiencia práctica ni las nuevas tecnologías que apoyan a los GTE. Este manual se basa en las contribuciones de presidentes de GTE experimentados y nuevos, líderes de comités del Codex y funcionarios de la Secretaría del Codex. En él se aclaran las funciones y responsabilidades de los participantes y se explica cómo dirigir y participar eficazmente en la labor de establecimiento de normas del Codex a través de los GTE
