Regina Sommer receives Hans Frenzel Medal of Honour
Regina Sommer, Professor of Water Hygiene at the Medical University of Vienna, was awarded the Hans Frenzel Medal of Honour by Korinna Schumann, Federal Minister of Labour, Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection, for her outstanding services to the Codex Alimentarius Austriacus.
The Codex Commission advises the Federal Minister for Labour, Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection on all matters relating to food law regulations and prepares the Austrian Food Code, the Codex Alimentarius Austriacus.
The Codex Alimentarius Austriacus was established in 1891 to create uniform standards for the quality of drinking water and food.
Drinking water as a technical basis
Chapter B 1 "Drinking Water" of the Austrian Food Code forms the technical basis for assessing water quality in Austria. Regina Sommer has been chairing the Codex Sub-Commission on Drinking Water for 20 years.
