IPPC Contracting Parties are invited to respond to an OECD survey on “approval procedures” by with the aim to identify positive experiences - deadline 01 February 2022.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) via the SPS Committee would like to invite you to respond to a survey on country administration of control, inspection and approval procedure systems (hereafter referred to as “approval procedures”). This survey aims to identify countries’ positive experiences with adapting existing approval procedures or introducing new approval procedures.

To respond to the survey, please use the link (https://forms.office.com/r/4gDiBYCQZH) to access the online version.

The information you provide in this survey is strictly confidential. At the end of the survey, you will be asked for general background information (e.g. country, authority). These questions are optional and you can choose to submit your answer anonymously.

In order to obtain a large response rate, this survey is short: it invites you to describe one specific case study and to answer several questions (primarily multiple choice) related to this case study. The survey should take approximately 15 minutes of your time.

We would be most grateful if you could complete the survey by 1 February 2022.

Thank you very much for sharing your views and experiences. If you have any questions or comments on the survey, please do not hesitate to contact Annelies Deuss ([email protected]), OECD Trade and Agriculture Directorate.
