Description

The Regional Asia-Pacific Workshop for the Global Review of Phytosanitary Surveillance in the Context of the IPPC Standard (ISPM 6) was held in Chiang Rai, Thailand, from 31 January - 3 February 2012. The standard on surveillance (ISPM 6) and the analytical results of the questionnaire on surveillance submitted by 17 countries in the region were presented and discussed. Each of the 17 countries presented an example of their best practice in surveillance. The advantages and disadvantages of ISPM 6 were also discussed by the group. While the standard was found to provide a sound basis for the establishment of surveillance systems, a number of improvements could be considered. The workshop also considered future work in the area of surveillance.
