Purpose
|
The New Revised Text of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) approved by the FAO Conference in November 1997, which came into force in 2005, provides for the establishment of a Commission on Phytosanitary Measures (CPM) (Article XI) that will serve as the global agreement's new Governing Body. In particular, the CPM:
- reviews the state of plant protection around the world
- identifies action to control the spread of pests into new areas
- develops and adopts international standards
- establishes rules and procedures for resolving disputes
- adopts guidelines for the recognition of regional plant protection organizations; and
- cooperates with international organizations on matters covered by the Convention
