WELCOMING REMARKS

The 9th Meeting of The ASEAN Cocoa Club Technical Working Group on Food Safety
(ACC TWGFS)

16th May 2017

De La Salle University (DLSU), Manila, Philippines

Distinguished Delegates,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Good morning. It is an honour and privilege for me to welcome all the distinguished
delegates from the ASEAN Member States to the 9th Meeting of the ASEAN Cocoa Club
Technical Working Group on Food Safety in De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines.

First of all, I wish to express my gratitude and thanks to the Government of the Philippines for
the third time of hosting this meeting and their tremendous hospitality. Moreover, I would
like to thank De La Salle University for allowing the Working Group to use their facilities for
this meeting. Furthermore, I would like to congratulate and thank the secretariats of the
organising committee from Philippines for contributing to the success of this meeting.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

ASEAN has set a goal of achieving greater economic integration and creating the ASEAN
Economic Community (AEC) in year 2015. This foresees the creation of an ASEAN single
market that facilitates the free flow of trade in goods and services within the region.
However, a significant number of technical barriers to trade (TBTs) remains in cocoa sector
specifically diverse national standards and regulations among ASEAN Member States have
been considered to be the most significant obstacles to expanding inter and intra-ASEAN
trade for cocoa and cocoa products.

Efforts have been underway to streamline the regulatory requirements for food safety in
ASEAN region; however, the progress for the harmonization of standards or development of
ASEAN standards for cocoa and cocoa products remains slow. Therefore, this Working

Page 10 of 28
Group has put up a new agenda for the establishment of ASEAN standards related to cocoa
and cocoa products in this Meeting in order to expedite the harmonization of standards for
cocoa and cocoa products. As the Chairperson of this Working Group, I would like to seek
afull commitment from all the ASEAN Member States related on these issues.

Thank you.
