Abstract
Several significant events on food irradiation took place in the past year. Particularly important was the ICGFI Workshop on Trade Opportunities for Irradiated Foods held in conjunction with the APEC Workshop on Alternative Quarantine Treatments and Post-Harvest Handling Methods, Kona, Hawaii, USA, 22-24 May 2000. At these workshops an action plan was developed to expedite international trade in irradiated food. The reader is invited to read the excerpt of this Workshop, the full report of which is available on request. By coincidence, the representative of the USDA/APHIS announced at this Workshop the publication of its Proposed Rule on Irradiation Phytosanitary Treatment for Imported Fruits and Vegetables to meet quarantine requirements in the USA with regard to 11 species of fruit flies and mango seed weevil. The summary of the Proposed Rule which was published in the Federal Register on 26 May 2000 is included in this issue. The reader will also be interested to read about the rapid commercialisation of food irradiation in the USA in this issue which describes how the USA is moving ahead on commercializing irradiated food in a big way. With regard to the activities of the FAO/IAEA Training and Reference Centre for Food and Pesticide

In addition, the INFOCRIS which has been on line for some time, is now available both in English and Spanish.}
