APHCA
and WTO's SPS Agreement (during 2000-2007)
|
At
Administrators' Level:
Organized
the OIE/FAO-APHCA Joint Workshop/Group Exercise on
WTO's SPS Agreement along with the 24th APHCA Session
in Dhaka, Bangladesh, during 8-9 November 2000. Amongst
the workshop participants there were Directors General
and Animal Husbandry Commissioners from APHCA countries.
The endorsements after the Workshop were as the follows:
Considering
that:
(1) The Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Agreement
was in force on 1st January 1995, with the inauguration
of the World Trade Organization (WTO), with a view
to reducing the negative effects of sanitary barriers
on international trade in animals and animal products.
(2) The SPS recognizes the right of governments to
take appropriate measures to ensure their adequate
level of protection, on condition that they are necessary
for health protection and are based on transparent
and scientific evidence.
(3) The international animal health measures within
the framework of the SPS Agreement are considered
to be those of standards, guidelines and recommendations
(International Standards) established under the auspices
of the Office International des Epizooties (OlE).
The OIE/FAO-APHCA Joint Workshop on the WTO- SPS Agreement
recommends that:
(1) Countries are strongly encouraged to join the
standard setting international and regional organizations
(OlE, Codex Alimentarius, International Plant Protection
Convention) relating to the Sanitary and Phytosanitary
Agreement (SPS), if they have not done so.
(2) Countries be encouraged to pay careful attention
to the International Standards with a view to achieving
the widest possible harmonization of their animal
health measures to ensure the protection of human
and animal life and health.
(3) Countries pay attention to the documents related
to the International Standards developed by the OlE
when establishing the necessary measures governing
their imports and exports of animals and animal products.
(4) Wider participation in the OlE Code setting
process, whenever appropriate, be taken.
(5) While issuance of a veterinary inspection certificate
is the responsibility of National Veterinary Services,
in countries where multiple ministries are engaged
in matters of trade relating to the SPS Agreement,
there should be an efficient coordination process
and adequate budgets among federal and state governments
and industry to allow efficient trading in animals
and animal products.
(6) Countries organize and strengthen their national
veterinary services to meet the requirements as per
the WTO-SPS and related Agreements.
As follow-up actions, six (6) FAO-APHCA/OIE Regional
Workshop on WTO's SPS Agreement [with full co-operation
of the Thai Department of Livestock Development (DLD),
Free University of Berlin (FU-Berlin), and Japan Livestock
Technology Association (JLTA)] were organized for
government officials at technical levels at the Faculty
of Veterinary Medicine, Chiang Mai University (FVM-CMU),
Thailand between 2001 and 2007.
APHCA and HPAI (exclude series of activities
on HPAI technically and logistically supported by
the APHCA Secretariat): "
-
APHCA
special session on HPAI in Chiang Mai, Thailand,
27 - 28 September 2004.
-
APHCA/OIE
special session on regional avian influenza economic
assessment workshop, Bali, Indonesia, September
2005.
Exploring
possibility to cooperate with private sector:
During the 21st session in 1995, the secretary proposed
to expand APHCA activities under the limited budget
situation, the commission also suggested that the
APHCA chairperson could send the letter to the concerned
FAO Unit, Rome, inquiring a possible change of the
standing FAO publication regulations so that "ASIAN
LIVESTOCK" - an official FAO/APHCA publication could
legally accept the commercial advertisement and sponsorship.
The APHCA chairperson will also seek a legal advice
from Rome for possible organization of the joint FAO/APHCA
- private sector activities on the cost-sharing basis.
Actions were taken by the APHCA secretariat but no
positive response received, so far.
