Strategic Objective C

Facilitate safe trade, development and economic growth.

Targets

Commodity-specific standards with harmonized phytosanitary measures have facilitated and accelerated trade negotiations and simplified safe trade in plant products.
Detections of pests in trade pathways are declining as exporting countries take more responsibility for managing the pest risk associated with exports, and importing countries report detections more quickly and more consistently.
NPPOs have built capacity and been supported to establish phytosanitary export assurance and phytosanitary certification systems that are robust and are trusted by trading partners.
The efficiency of administering phytosanitary certification systems has improved and the circulation of fraudulent certificates has been eliminated through electronic phytosanitary certification systems including the generic ePhyto national system and the global ePhyto hub.
NPPOs have access to expert advice to enable resolution of bilateral trade concerns of a phytosanitary nature.
NPPOs are able to meet regularly to deliberate on phytosanitary research and emerging issues and other matters of common interest.
Contracting parties have legislation in place to enable implementation of ePhyto.
