Visit of National Assembly's delegation in Sihanoukville
|
The discussion on the prevention of goods products with spoiled quality and devoid of safety from affecting the people's safety of the ninth commission of the National Assembly with the Camcontrol branch in the Sihanoukville
On February 25th ,2002, at 2:30 pm at the
Camcontrol branch in the Sihanoukville, Mr. Por Leang Kung, chief
of the branch and other 16 branch officials, extended greetings to
the commission in charge of public works, transport, post and
telecommunication, industry, mines and energy and trade of the
National Assembly, that was there for discussions on the situation
of the prevention of products with spoiled quality and devoid of
safety which might affect the people's health.
The delegation of the National
Assembly's ninth commission was headed by His Excellency Kim Sann,
Her Excellency Ho Nonn, H.E Phan Chantha, H.E Kheuv Horl and H.E
Hout Pong Ly.
Following the greeting, Mr. Por Leang
Kong informed the delegation of the efforts made by the
Sihanoukville-based Camcontrol branch in inspecting the quality
and safety of goods products, particularly the imported and
exported food and in keeping close watch on the goods products
being in circulation at markets, thus contributing to ensuring the
quality and safety of goods products, especially food to be
imported by showing the remarkable results obtained.
H.E Kim Sann and H.E Ho Nonn
underlined that after the law on the management of the quality and
safety of products, and services had been passed, the amount of
products with spoiled quality and without safety displayed for
sale at the markets dropped to a minimum level and that the
Cambodian market was not an international dumping place.
The answers and questions posed at
the discussions let the delegation know : the law on the
management of the quality and safety of products and services uses
as an important means and it has adequate qualities needed for the
control and management of the quality and safety of food products,
so it is not necessary this time for the National Assembly to
enact another food law although some countries, especially the
ASEAN countries have had such law ( adopted by their Assemblies )
aimed at controlling and managing the manufacturers or categorized
products. The lack of basic things related to the enforcement
techniques has already been supplemented with technical rules and
regulations ( sub-decrees, Prakas...) by the royal government of
Cambodia. -
The law enforcement is conducted in a smooth manner as each
Camcontrol branch always receives support and co-operation from
the municipal authorities, the municipal court as well as all the
skilled institutions concerned in the Sihanoukville. -
There is a need to conduct a scientific research on
food-borne disease which may have a long-term effect on the public
health. -
The need to train the skilled officials to acquire
knowledge and experience in order to catch up with the development
of the issues pertaining to food safety and to improve the lab
officials' capacity accordingly. The
delegation gave further recommendations to the Sihanoukville-based
Camcontrol branch to make better efforts in order to build up a
barrier of safety aimed at preventing the flow of products,
especially food products with spoiled quality and with no safety
from affecting the health and welfare of the people because the
Sihanoukville is one of the main gates of the country. The
discussions concluded at 4 o'clock in the afternoon in a spirit of
good co-operation. | Page1 | Page2 | Page3 | Page4 | Page5 | Page6 | Page7 | Page8 | |
