Study Notes
CPM Administrative Bodies
- Bureau consists of 7 members overseeing the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures (CPM).
- Standards Committee is composed of 25 international experts from the 7 FAO regions, convening biannually in May and November to set standards and review draft International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPMs).
- The Subsidiary Body on Dispute Settlement aids in the development of dispute procedures and maintains a roster of experts, involving 7 international members from the FAO regions.
- Working Groups and Technical Panels address specific phytosanitary issues, including panels focused on forest quarantine, diagnostic protocols, phytosanitary treatments, fruit flies, and glossaries.
National and Regional Plant Protection Organizations
- National Plant Protection Organizations (NPPOs) protect crops to ensure food security, enhance marketability in trade, and preserve ecosystems.
- Regional Plant Protection Organizations (RPPOs) coordinate among NPPOs, facilitate information transfer, and develop international phytosanitary standards.
- Major RPPOs include APPPC, CA, COSAVE, CPPC, EPPO, IAPSC, NAPPO, OIRSA, and PPPo.
IPPC Secretariat
- Hosted by FAO in Rome, Italy, responsible for implementing work programmes and facilitating information exchange.
- Supports the development and adoption of ISPMs, aids technical assistance, and represents the IPPC.
International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPMs)
- Developed and adopted by member countries, ISPMs aim to standardize plant protection measures globally.
- Currently, there are 47 adopted ISPMs and extensive diagnostic protocols and treatments in various stages of development.
Standard Setting Participation
- Members can suggest topics for ISPMs every two years and nominate experts for working groups.
- Development and review of ISPMs involve regional workshops, member consultation, and participation in CPM sessions.
Information Exchange and Capacity Development

- Capacity Development Strategy provides phytosanitary support and workshops to enhance member capabilities.
Implementation Review and Support System (IRSS)
- Aims to promote and facilitate the implementation of IPPC and ISPMs, addressing potential trade disputes early through a collaborative process.
International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC)
- Established in 1951, revised in 1979 and 1997, the IPPC now includes 185 member nations focused on global plant protection.
- Functions as an international standard-setting body, promoting information sharing, and supporting capacity development.
