Compliance and quality protection

The Technical Committee supervises technical procedures to ensure the execution of the contract complies with the quality and specifications of terms agreed in the contract. They also validate the quality of traded goods to ensure best practice in carriage and transportation.

The committee works alongside the Oilseeds and Oil & Fats committees to consider any scientific, technical or quality matters that affect the international trade in FOSFA commodities on behalf of the Council, and make recommendations where appropriate.

The Technical Committee is composed of nominated members who have extensive experience in the global trade and transportation of oils, seeds or fats, its analysis or the superintending of vessels. The Chair attends Council meetings as required.
