Language Review Groups (LRGs)

The reviewed ISPMs will hereafter been submitted for review by the FAO Translation Services. The Secretariat will post the modified ISPMs on the IPP and notify all contracting parties. The CPM agenda will include a standing item for noting that the specific standards were adjusted.
