Appropriate level of protection

"Appropriate level of protection" is a term appearing in the WTO-SPS Agreement which is a key factor in selecting phytosanitary measures in policy making. It is often difficult to clearly define the term and to determine the appropriate level of protection. The expert working group is tasked with drafting a standard to provide clarification of the term and guidelines on how it may be determined in relation to pest risks.
