Da bi se lahko držala rokov za odgovor na okrožnice Codex Alimentarius, pošlje Komisija v rednih časovnih razmakih, ki niso daljši od dveh mesecev, državam članicam tabelo, v kateri so ločeno navedene vse pričakovane, napovedane in predvidene okrožnice, v kateri so opredeljene tiste okrožnice, za katere namerava pripraviti osnutek skupnega odgovora v imenu Skupnosti, in časovno obdobje, v katerem bo to storjeno, ter, kolikor je to mogoče, svoje mnenje o pristojnosti za vsako od njih.
