DocumentISPM 45. Requirements for national plant protection organizations if authorizing entities to perform phytosanitary actions
Adopted 2021
2021This standard provides requirements for national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) if they decide to authorize entities to perform specific phytosanitary actions on their behalf. In accordance with Article V.2(a) of the IPPC, this standard does not cover the issuance of phytosanitary certificates. Also, this standard does not cover the development and establishment of phytosanitary measures. -

No results found.The IPPC Observatory is an evaluation system of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) that monitors the implementation of the IPPC, the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPMs) and the recommendations of the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures (CPM). The observatory provides national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) data and information that will help them improve their implementation. The Observatory conducts general surveys that provide NPPOs with a global picture of the challenges and best practices in implementation. Likewise, desk studies on topics that impact implementation help NPPOs adjust or develop their national phytosanitary activities. -

No results found.For Armenia, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, North Macedonia, Republic of Moldova and Ukraine, plant protection in agriculture and forestry is important for food safety and economic development Not only do plants ensure sustainable nutrition for society, but they also support international trade in plants or plant products As plants are hosts for many pests, international trade is inherently associated with risks of pest introduction and spread National phytosanitary systems based on the International Plant Protection Convention ( and International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures ( aim at reducing those risks Even though the ISPMs are available on the website of the IPPC, National Plant Protection Organizations ( often have insufficient knowledge of them In practice, this may translate into difficulties in discussions with other NPPOs, especially on trade related issues Moreover, as ISPMs are revised and updated, especially to reflect new scientific achievements, periodic training is necessary to keep NPPOs and their officers informed about recent developments The main objective of this project was to enhance the capacities of the national phytosanitary systems operated by the NPPOs of the recipient countries to better prevent the risks associated with the introduction and spread of pests that can occur through international trade in plants and plant products Among the key elements of national phytosanitary systems are surveillance systems, which enable reliable determination of the presence or absence of pests in the territories or parts of territories of countries, early detection of newly introduced pests and determination of areas of their spread within the country Monitoring surveys are used to verify the characteristics of pest populations within countries, enabling timely reaction and the prevention of economic damage to crops The project built the capacities of the NPPOs in the participating countries on the identification of pests and on phytosanitary certificates through the delivery of training sessions These were based on international standards adopted under the IPPC, which provide guidance for NPPOs around the world on the harmonization of their actions to combat plant pests for international trade in plants and plant products.
