Abstract
This paper aims to make the objectives, the working and the evolvement of the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) understandable. It deals with the role of Codex standards for the food international trade after the adoption, in 1994, of the Agreement on the application of sanitary and phytosanitary measures (SPS) and the Agreement on technical barriers to trade (TBT) implemented by the World Trade Organisation (WTO). The influence of this reciprocal action between the WTO and the CAC is notably analysed through the evolution of practices for the elaboration of international Codex standards. It gives a brief check up of the results and questions of the moment plotting the present strength and weak points of the CAC.
