The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) is consulting on international standards for phytosanitary measures and seeks feedback from Canadian stakeholders. The IPPC is an international treaty that establishes a common approach to preventing the introduction and spread of plant pests and promotes measures for their control.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is Canada’s representative to the IPPC and is responsible for submitting comments to the IPPC on behalf of Canadians.
The 2016 consultation is open on the CFIA website until September 2, 2016.
