IRSS Survey - 2016 IPPC General Survey

Type of activity:

• Survey

Description of activity:

The 2016 IPPC General Survey was conducted to review contracting parties' implementation of the Convention, its international standards and CPM recommendations. The survey revealed that implementation is dependent on the resources available to contracting parties and prioritization of national interests. Contracting parties' implementation of the Convention obligations was highest for export and import related activities. However, contracting parties' prioritization of international standards resulted in different findings, with pest risk analysis and surveillance considered the most important. Finally, contracting parties are implementing CPM recommendations well, with several recommendations rated with very high implementation. The findings of this survey will be used to assist the IPPC Secretariat in planning work to support and strengthen contracting party implementation. PLEASE NOTE - this report is a draft and subject to formal editing, formatting and publishing processes.
