IPPC: HistoryOriginal IPPC adopted in 1951
Revised in 1979
Revised again in 1997 to be consistent with principles of the WTO- SPS agreement– formalized governing body, Secretariat and
standard-setting
![Page 6: The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062502/56815658550346895dc3fca3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
IPPC and the WTO-SPS Agreement IPPC is one of the “three sisters” of international
standard setting recognized by the SPS agreement: Codex, OIE, IPPC
Members shall base their phytosanitary measures on international standards or justify deviations through risk analysis
Members shall play a full part in the relevant standard setting organization
(Article 3 of the SPS Agreement, Harmonization)

National Plant Protection Organization -- NPPO
Role: to protect national plant resources from the risks associated with pests – food security: protect crops to ensure an
abundant, high-quality, and varied food supply– international trade: strengthen the
marketability of agriculture in international commerce by meeting import requirements, including pest risk analysis
– environmental protection: preserve natural ecosystems and horticultural plant resources
![Page 16: The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062502/56815658550346895dc3fca3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Regional Plant Protection Organization -- RPPO
Role is to:Coordinate and participate in activities among their
NPPOs in order to promote and achieve the objectives of the IPPC
Gather and disseminate information, in particular in relation with the IPPC
Cooperate with the CPM and the IPPC Secretariat in developing and implementing international standards for phytosanitary measures and regional standards
Meet annually at the technical consultation among RPPOs

Capacity DevelopmentIPPC Capacity Development StrategyEWG on Capacity DevelopmentIPPC staff provide phytosanitary support to:
– National and regional projects)– Ad hoc workshops (e.g. WTO, SPS)– Programmes of other regional and international
organizations (e.g. IAEA, APO, APEC)

Implementation Review and Support System (IRSS)
• Primary objective:• to facilitate and promote the
implementation of the IPPC and ISPMs, and contribute to a number of goals of the IPPC strategic plan.
![Page 26: The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062502/56815658550346895dc3fca3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Implementation Review and Support System (IRSS)
• Additional objectives include:– an improved ability to monitor, encourage and
support the harmonized implementation of the IPPC and its ISPMs by contracting parties;
– the development of a mechanism to identify, and address emerging, and potential implementation problems before they become phytosanitary trade disputes, through an assistance-based and non-confrontational process; and
– address establishing baseline information and annually updated data that could be used for the review of the state of plant protection in the world.

Implementation Review and Support System (IRSS)
Initial preparatory work being undertaken:– Reporting on implementation challenges
in the TC among RPPOs.– The establishment of an “IPPC Help
Desk”.– development, distribution and analysis
of a questionnaire on the implementation of the Convention by the Contracting Parties.
