I. Introduction
The regional workshop for the review of draft International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPMs) is an annual activity which contracting parties are called upon to implement. This meeting came up after the publication of the 2010 draft ISPMs by IPPC for comments. It is the second meeting to be organized by the Inter-African Phytosanitary Council of African Union (AU-IAPSC) with the logistical Support of the PAN- SPSO project under the sister Organization; the Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources of African Union (AU-IBAR). During this meeting, participants (annex2) from African contracting parties, FAO, AU-IAPSC and other organizations had to review and provide input to five ISPMs and three draft specifications including the quarantine guide for forestry. Specifications for ISPMs provide the basis for the content of the future ISPM. The specification provides the drafting group with directions on what to consider when building the ISPM, and also outlines the content and sets the scope of the future ISPM. Available Templates of draft ISPMs and draft specifications for submission of comments were properly and carefully filled by each of the two groups upon appropriate discussions and presented in the plenary for adoption by consensus. The templates containing comments from the participants will be submitted through the IPPC contact point to the Secretariat by e-mail to [email protected]. The official deadline for
3 comments for all National Plant Protection Organizations and Regional Plant Protection Organizations is 30 September 2010.
2. Opening ceremony
The opening ceremony of the meeting was held at the conference hall of Mika hotel. It was marked by five allocutions:
The Welcoming address of the Director of AU-IBAR was pronounced by Dr. Biaou who thanked participants for accepting the invitation, before emphasizing on the Inter- African Phytosanitary Council (IAPSC) and the Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources (IBAR) which are both technical offices of the Department of Rural Economy and Agriculture (DREA) of the African Union Commission responsible for sanitary and phytosanitary matters. This justify why the Project Participation of African Nations in Sanitary and Phytosanitary Standard-setting Organizations (PAN-SPSO) is implemented mainly by the two offices. This project was actually launched in response to the pressing need of enhancing the capacity of AU Member States’ participation in Standard Setting Organizations. Within this project, issues related to animal health and food safety are dealt with at AU-IBAR; the part related to plant protection is under the responsibility of AU-IAPSC. He also urged active participation in the discussions and sharing experiences and trusted commitment of participants to help Africa defending its interests at the root where decision making tools are produced. He hoped participants will come up with coordinated and common position of Africa on ISPMs as well as with a sustainable mechanism of coordination of Africa position.
Ms.Clarendon, Plant Protection Officer FAO, Accra brought greetings to participants on behalf of FAO and the IPPC (International Plant Protection Convention) Secretariat. She spoke of the importance of the consultation meeting and the presence of the members of the Standard Committee who are key in facilitating the consultation; they represent Africa and therefore need to be informed by NPPOs on issues pertaining to the Draft Standards and to inform CPM Bureau on issues of Africa. This workshop was previously organized first by the IPPC Secretariat, then, by FAO RAF, now it has been passed on to IAPSC for the hosting and coordination. This has been done since 2009 and FAO is looking forward to their continued involvement in that role. She also recognized the key input by the PAN SPSO Project (Participation of African Nations in Sanitary and Phytosanitary standards Setting Organizations), facilitating the hosting of the consultation on the Draft ISPMs, development of standards for Africa and the implementation of adopted standards; the growth which has taken place the strides made by the countries and the RPPO. She encouraged the countries to continue to participate fully, make timely contributions. IAPSC was assisted to set the international agenda, by bringing issues to the table.
On behalf of the European Commssion, Mr Moustapha Magumu, Advisor to the European Union(EU) delegation to the African Union in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, thanked Dr Mezui M’Ella, IAPSC’s Director, the Competent Authorities of Zambia, the representatives of Regional Economic Communities, FAO, IPPC, the Organisers and all the experts for inviting the EU to this worthwhile PAN-African NPPOs meeting on the review of Drafts International Standards for Phyto-Sanitary Measures. He declared that his presence was a testimony of the great inportance the EU and others attach to the Phytosanitary issues affecting Africa. He
4 does advise on SPS and public health issues as they relate to the continent. He congratulated the AU-IBAR and AU-IAPSC for their hard work, which is begining to show fruitful results in preparing African Delegates to put forward common positions in meetings of the OIE, Codex and IPPC. The EU is proud to be associated with these positive developments of the PAN-SPSO programme, which of course, EU strongly supports.
Dr. Jean-Gérard MEZUI M’ELLA, Director, and AU-IAPSC presented his speech by thanking the Government and people of Zambia for hosting the meeting and the PAN- SPSO project and his institution for preparing the consultation and offering necessary logistics. In addition he also spoke about the five draft ISPMs and draft specifications to be reviewed by participants under the guidance of African members of standards committee and provided future directions. The participants were welcomed; especially the delegations from COMESA, SADC, FAO and EU. The NPPOs were also thanked for allowing the participants to attend the workshop. It was noted that this consultation was being organized and held for the second time by IAPSC.
Mr. Moses Mwale, Deputy Director of the Zambia Agricultural Research Institute (ZARI) on behalf of the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives gave the opening speech. He spoke about the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), which is the official organ under the World Trade Organization (WTO) that is developing standards for International use for plants and plant products. This ensures safe trade and prevention of the spread and introduction of pests of plants and plant products especially into endangered areas, and to promote appropriate measures for their control. The high level of participation underlined the importance attached to topics of the workshop. He advised participants to take this precious time to kindly review the five draft ISPMs and draft specifications, discuss and formulate recommendations that would be vital in the development of the national comments for the draft ISPMs in question. Being aware that some African countries have not yet signed the convention he then therefore urged them to consider doing so for the benefit of all. It was a time to start thinking of how future pan African meetings will be sustained. He finally thanked the organizers, facilitators and sponsors of the workshop. He urged foreign delegates, to be welcome to Zambia and declared the workshop officially opened.
3. Purpose of the workshop
Prof. Bahama, Senior Scientific Officer Phytopathology of IAPSC outlined that the main purpose of this workshop was to provide participants from African countries with a regional forum to discuss the draft International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPMs). These discussions would help participants gain a better understanding of the national and regional impact of these proposed standards and provide a basis for the development and submission of national comments. This workshop covered the following draft ISPMs and draft specifications:
3.1. Draft ISPMs Systems approaches for pest risk management of fruit flies; Submission of new treatments for inclusion in ISPM No.15;
5 Integrated measures approach for managing pest risks associated with International trade of plants for planting; Irradiation treatment for Ceratitis Capitata (Annex to ISPM 28) and Diagnostic protocol for Plum pox virus;
2. Draft Specifications
Minimizing pest movement by air containers and aircraft; Systems for authorizing phytosanitary activities; Safe handling and disposal of waste with potential pest risk generated during international voyages
Guide to implement phytosanitary standards for forestry
4. Adoption of the agenda
The agenda was adopted with little modifications as per annex1.
5. Overview of the IPPC
Dr. Khaled ALROUECHDI briefed participants on an overview of IPPC, ISPMs, the SPS Agreement, IPPC administrative framework, and the Standard setting process. He emphasized on opportunities for member participation and member consultation process; implementation and exchange of information and finally on Technical Assistance. The IPPC adopted in 1951 and revised in 1979 and 1997 respectively, currently has 173 members and aimed at protecting the world’s plant against pests. The author developed the relationship between IPPC and WTO-SPS, the IPPC key principles, obligations of contracting parties, its administrative framework (CPM, NPPO, RPPO and secretariat). He also discussed the Standard Committee (SC), the Expert working groups, the Technical panels (TPs), subsidiary body on dispute settlement, status of NEPPO, the ISPM and standards setting programme as well as steps in the standard setting process. New topics added to the five draft ISPMs to be reviewed were highlighted. He finally threw more light on information exchange before opening the floor for discussion. It was noted that this meeting is held to assist countries in the preparation of their comments on draft ISPMs. Official comments should be submitted to the IPPC Secretariat by the national IPPC contact point before the deadline of 30 September 2010. During this presentation additional information were done by the African members of the IPPC bodies: Bureau (Mr.Arundel Sakala, Zambia), Standards Committee (SC), (Mr. Mike Holtzhausen, South Africa), subsidiary body on Dispute settlement (Mr.
Lucien Kouame, Côte d`Ivoire), 2NPPOs, (Sudan and Côte d`Ivoire), and RPPO ( Mr. J.G.
Mezui M`ELLa), Director of IAPSC.
6. Organization of working groups and election of bureaus
6 Participants were grouped into two; English and French speaking. The meeting elected Dr. Nagat Mubarak El Tayeb and Dr. Lucien Kouame as chairpersons, and Mr. Randy Stravens and Mrs. Seraphine Minko as Rapporteurs for respectively, the first and second group.
7. Review of documents and discussion on 2010 draft ISPMs and draft specifications.
The following five draft ISPMs and draft specifications were reviewed and comments were recorded. Participants were grouped into English and French speaking groups. In each group a chair and rapporteur were elected. Drafts were reviewed and adopted by consensus one after another by each group before being taking to the plenary session. In each group a power point presentation of each draft was done by an appointed participant by the chair, to the entire group, followed by explanation by the member of Standard Committee. Thereafter, the draft text and draft template were projected simultaneously to the wall by the rapporteur. The chair progressively and diligently read the text; paragraph per paragraph and coordinated comments from the group. These comments (substantial, translation or editorial) were recorded on the template of the said draft by the rapporteur. At the end of each presentation, the group had a break, before continuing with the next draft. The chairs had to appoint some of the members of the group to take their places and those of the rapporteurs for the smooth functioning of the session. Participants were always reminded to follow the instructions for the use of the template. Each group at the end of reviewing individual draft and draft specification took time to re-examine the entire comments of draft templates before taking them to the plenary session. Each participant could also note down necessary comments which will be used at national consultation level prior for submission to the IPPC secretariat. During the plenary session, both rapporteurs of the groups read their respective reports and they were adopted by consensus by participants. The following sections capture the main discussion points for each of the draft ISPMs and draft specification reviewed.
7.1. 2010 draft International draft standards for phytosanitary measures:
7.1. 1. Systems approaches for pest risk management of fruit flies An appointed participant in the group by the Chair read the power point presentation of the draft ISPM and the text was clear to everyone. Substantive comments were effective on references paragraph number 10 and 20; background 30 and section1.2 paragraph no 46, 60 and 93
7.1.2. Submission of new treatments for inclusion in ISPM No.15
The power point presentation was clear to all participants. The general comment was reviewed. Substantive comments were done on introduction paragraph no 6 and 7; section 2 paragraphs no 22 and 23. Editorial comments were done on paragraph 7, 22 and 33.
7.1.3. Integrated measures approach for managing pest risks associated with International trade of plants for planting
Upon reading the power point presentation of this draft, it was clear to everyone. However substantive comments were done on paragraphs no
7 18,31,44,57,61,63,74,78,98,92,95,108,114,119 and 121. Editorial comments were effective on paragraphs no 3,17,18,32,41,52,81,82,85,87,98,100,106 and 110.
7.1.4. Irradiation treatment for Ceratitis Capitata (Annex to ISPM 28)
The power point presentation was clear and no substantive issue was raise during the review of the document.
7.1.5. Diagnostic protocol for Plum pox virus
Upon reading of the power point presentation the draft was so technical which required specialists. The general comment was reviewed. Substantive comments were done on paragraphs 6, 10 and 11. There was a need to insert into the text example of facultative hosts which may be found in Africa. Collaboration of NPPOs with agricultural research institutes and universities is necessary. There is also a need to enhance the capacity of African countries on this draft.
7.2. 2010 draft specifications Three draft specifications were reviewed in addition to the guide on forestry.
7.2.1. Minimizing pest movement by air containers and aircraft
The reading of the power point presentation was clear. No comment was made on the text.
7.2.2. Systems for authorizing phytosanitary activities
The reading of the power point presentation was clear. No comment was made on the text.
7.2.3. Safe handling and disposal of waste with potential pest risk generated during international voyages
The power point presentation upon reading was clear to participants. The general comment was reviewed. Substantives comments were made on scope and purpose section.
8. Organization of future regional workshops on draft ISPMs
Participants agreed that it was a time to start thinking of how future pan African meetings will be sustained, since the Project Participation of African Nations in Sanitary and Phytosanitary Standard-setting Organizations (PAN-SPSO) is ending in 2011. This project has helped organizing the past and current consultation meeting on draft standards. They recommended that IAPSC should start exploring other financial sources, so that the holding of the continental consultation meeting on draft ISPMs should be sustainable.
8.1. Identification of sponsors for future workshops
8 IAPSC will work to put in place a sustainable mechanism through identification of sponsors.
8.2. Funding strategy and action plan
IAPSC together with the existing African Regional Economic Communities were charged to deal with decreased resources and consider alternative sources of funding consultation meetings on draft ISPMs. National Plant Protection Organizations (NPPOs) with IAPSC will strongly lobby for funding and resources for workshop and travel at different donors and government institutions. A request shall also be table by IAPSC and/ or NPPO to IPPC secretariat for assistance in holding future consultation meetings. The Director of IAPSC was requested to seek the support of the African Union Commission (AUC) in order to sustainably fund activities of the proposed Secretariat for phytosanitary measures and the common position building process for better position of Africa in standard setting. These activities should be included in the annual Agenda of AU-IAPSC in accordance to its continental mandate. NPPOs should always think ahead with research organizations, universities and ministries.
8.3. Topics for consideration at future workshops
There were not specific topics for consideration for future workshops agenda item. However since there are a weak and / or absence of collaboration between forestry and Phytosanitary people, effort will consist to set up guides binding the plant quarantine and forestry services. Consultations shall continue at national level to come up with specific topic prior for proposition to the IPPC secretariat. Limitation of the propagation of pests by water and Minimization of the risks related to the dissemination of pests through transport of waste by the sea and railway could be scrutinized to be proposed as new topics for consideration.
9. Other Business
9.1. Progress reports by participants on the implementation of adopted ISPMs
Participants pointed out that adoption of ISPMs are faster than their implantations. There is a need reflecting on this issue and strengthen the capacity of African countries on compliance with these standards.
9.2. Presentation of outline comment system for draft ISPMs The IPPC Secretariat gave a brief presentation on the development of the online draft ISPM comment system and requested volunteers to participate in testing in summer 2010. Substantives and editorial comments were made on draft ISPMs and these comments are attached at the report (annexes 4&5). Participants were invited to take note of comments collected at this workshop and utilize these comments as they felt appropriate in their preparation of national comments. National comments should be submitted through the NPPO contact point to the IPPC secretariat no longer than 30 September 2010. 9.3. Presentation of Mechanism for the request for diagnostic protocol translation into FAO languages before the 100 days consultation period The IPPC Secretariat presented the details of this mechanism, in focusing that contracting parties who are unable to review the draft ISPMs (including diagnostic protocol) in English, may submit a request to the IPPC Secretariat to be translated into one of FAO`s languages. This request should be submitted within two weeks from the date of posting the
9 list of ISPMs approved for member consultation. Requests will be only accepted from the NPPO Contact Point and should be submitted to [email protected]. However, based on the difficulties identified during the development of the Diagnostic protocol for Plum pox virus, which were presented during the meeting only in English, the African French speaking countries did not appreciate the mentioned mechanism and wished IPPC keep in mind the important need to translate theses ISPMs automatically into French languages. 9.4. Guides for Foresters The IPPC Secretariat presented briefly information on the Guide to implementation of Phytosanitary Standards in Forestry. It was mentioned that the guide will be published next year in all the FAO languages. 9.5. IPPC website Issues regarding navigating the new website of IPPC were presented and discussed, in collaboration with representatives of Cameroon and Burkina Faso. The limited time didn’t permit to give more of details related to several requested points. However a long discussion on this subject took place separately outside of the meeting sessions.
9.6. Participant survey A link to the online participant survey for the workshop was provided in English and French languages and it was demonstrated how to complete the survey online. The participants were encouraged to submit it during the meeting. English version https://www.ippc.int/index.php? id=workshops_on_draft_ispm_eval&no_cache=1&L=0
French version https://www.ippc.int/index.php? id=workshops_on_draft_ispm_eval&no_cache=1&L=2&tx_simplesurvey_pi1[showUid]=13&c Hash=424588c82c
9.7. Participation of African nations in sanitary & phytosanitary standard-setting organizations (PAN-SPSO): update on activities
PAN SPSO is a project which covers 47 African ACP countries with an implementation period ranging from May 2008 to December 2011. It is funded by the European Commission: € 3.35 M and the AU: € 0.5 m. It aims at Facilitating effective participation of African countries in the activities of the OIE, IPPC and Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) during the formulation of international standards on animal (terrestrial and aquatic) and plant health, and food safety. Upon completion expected results are:
1. African countries strengthened to empower SPS offices for effective participation in SPS standard setting activities
2. Common position of African nations in SPS standards at continental and REC levels strengthened
3. Technical capacity of African countries to draft standards and to develop arguments strengthened
10 4. Relevant SPS-related data and information are acquired and disseminated to African countries through established accessible information sharing platform Studies and applied research.
In each of the above cited expected results, Dr .Biaou pointed some achievements so far obtained before projecting on activities done or in pipeline.
9.8. Report of the technical meeting
The secretariat chart (Annex3) drawn by experts, during the technical meeting held at the COMESA conference hall August 6-7, 2010 was presented to the participants for comments.
9.9. Mechanism for building common position
A tentative TOR for the IAPSC`s secretariat for phytosanitary measures, its missions and functioning mechanism were presented to participants for comments. They agreed to further look into the issues at national levels.
9.10. Online system for compiling member comments
The purpose of online system which is, achieving standard setting work programme goals with limited secretariat staff resources and streamlines commenting system for members was discussed. Emphasis was put on time line, system workflow schema and mechanism for the requests for diagnostic protocol translation.
9.11. The potential training areas to be targeted during Phase II of the Better Training for Safer Food (BTSF) Africa Programme.
Mr. Moustapha Magumu, EU Delegation to the AU presented Better Training for Safer Food (BTSF) activities and the background of DG SANCO which provides training in the areas of Food and feed law, animal health rules, animal welfares rules, and plant health rules which is of interest to participants. He emphasized on the second phase of BTSF (2011-2013) which will concern phytosanitary issues that include implementation of the referential, rapid alert, traceability and border inspection controls and regional / pan-African food safety authorities and inspectorate bodies.
9.12. The Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP)
Ms. Clarendon of FAO Accra presented the four pillars of CAADP which involve; extending the area under sustainable land management, improving rural infrastructure and trade-related capacities for market access, increasing food supply and reducing hunger and agricultural research, technology dissemination and adoption. However the crop protection situation analysis issues of the continent should be taken into account in this important programme.
9.13. Capacity Building Strategic Plan
11 Mr. Sakala pointed out that the development of ISPMs are faster that their implementations. The ability of individual country to effectively implement the 34 existing ISPMs is very weak. Therefore aspiration of NPPOs should reflect on the national policy. The experts working group came up with 6 areas or obligations that National phytosanitary planning in turn to achieve in the next 3-5 years. These include standards setting and implementations, information and communication, resources mobilizations and management, advocacy and monetary sustainability.
10. Adoption of the Report
The two groups (English and French speaking) presented in the plenary, results of their consultations, regarding the review of five draft ISPMs and draft specifications which were approved by consensus (annexes 4&5). The main task is left to the NPPO official focal points of IPPC to coordinate national consultation prior for submission to the secretariat.
11. Date and Venue of the Next Session
Participants agreed that the next year`s meeting should be held in Libreville – Gabon during the last week of July 2011. The Inter African Phytosanitary Council of African Union (AU-IAPSC) was requested to organize the meeting.
12. Closing ceremony
Closing remarks were given respectively by Ms. Annah Clarendon, FAO Accra, Dr. Cyprien Biaou AU-IBAR, Dr. Jean Gerard Mezui M`Ella, Director of IAPSC and Mr. Arundel Sakala of ZARI. Participants were thanked for their valuable contributions and encouraged to coordinate the submission of national country comments to the IPPC Secretariat. AU-IAPSC was also thanked for their special contribution, as were the PAN –SPSO Project Coordinator and AU-IBAR who helped make the workshop possible by providing logistics. Finally it was noted that experience and continuity were achieved by having the same person participate each year and the group benefited from the expertise of many different disciplines and experiences.
