Role of sanitary and phytosanitary measures in trade
1) The document discusses the role of sanitary and phytosanitary measures in international trade agreements. It outlines some of the challenges faced by the EU and US in bilateral trade negotiations, including differences in rules around issues like animal welfare, food safety standards, and pesticide use.
2) The EU wishes to address more issues in bilateral trade agreements than are currently covered in existing veterinary agreements with countries like the US. The EU wants to push principles around animal welfare, antibiotics use, and geographical indications of food products.
3) Negotiating bilateral trade agreements presents both opportunities to advance important EU policies and principles internationally, but also threats if the EU has to compromise on key positions to achieve more balanced
Sanitary and phytosanitary measures
The document summarizes the key points of the SPS Agreement, which establishes rules for food safety, animal and plant health standards in international trade. It entered into force in 1995 with the establishment of the WTO. The agreement aims to allow countries to set health standards while preventing unjustified barriers to trade. It outlines 10 principles member countries should follow, including basing measures on risk assessments, ensuring transparency, and controlling diseases and pests. Complying with the agreement benefits member countries by improving market access.
Sanitary and phytosanitary measures
This document provides an overview of Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) measures and the SPS Agreement. It defines SPS measures as those taken to protect human, animal, or plant life from risks arising from additives, contaminants, toxins, or diseases in foods, beverages, or feedstuffs. The SPS Agreement recognizes standards set by Codex Alimentarius, the World Organization for Animal Health, and the International Plant Protection Convention. Key provisions of the SPS Agreement include non-discrimination, scientific justification, transparency, and harmonization. The agreement helps ensure consumers have access to safe food and increases information available to importers and consumers.
Lecture 9 ib 404 institutional framework for international business
The document discusses the Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS Agreement), which establishes a framework for sanitary and phytosanitary measures that may directly or indirectly affect international trade. It seeks to balance members' rights to implement measures to protect human, animal, and plant health with obligations to ensure measures are not arbitrarily discriminatory and are based on scientific evidence. The agreement also addresses issues like risk assessment, harmonization of standards, equivalence of measures between members, and technical assistance for developing countries.
Chapter VII: Sanitary and phytosanitary measures chapter
This document defines key terms related to sanitary and phytosanitary measures and outlines objectives and provisions for cooperation between the parties on these types of measures. It establishes a Committee on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures to facilitate implementation of the chapter and enhance communication. The committee will provide a forum for parties to improve understanding of sanitary and phytosanitary issues and regulatory processes and identify technical cooperation opportunities. The document also covers recognition of regional conditions, pest-free areas, and equivalence of sanitary and phytosanitary measures between parties.
Budapest Treaty Presented
The Budapest Treaty allows for the deposit of microorganisms with an International Depositary Authority (IDA), which stores the microorganisms. This single deposit serves as disclosure for patent procedures in all member countries. The main feature of the Treaty is that a deposit with any IDA is recognized for patent purposes by all Contracting States, regardless of the IDA's location. There are currently 72 member countries and 37 IDAs under the Budapest Treaty.
Export inspection
The Export Inspection Council (EIC) is India's official export certification authority established by the government to certify the safety and quality of exported products (1). EIC ensures products meet quality and safety standards through certification or inspection and issues certifications like quality, health, origin, and food safety certificates to help exporters meet import requirements (2). EIC also conducts quality control, safety inspections, provides testing facilities, and trains industry on quality and safety management systems to facilitate exports that meet international standards (3).
SANITARY AND PHYTOSANITARY MEASURES
The WTO Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Agreement aims to protect human, animal and plant life from risks arising from additives, contaminants, toxins, or disease-causing organisms in their food. It recognizes standards set by Codex, OIE and IPPC to harmonize SPS measures between countries. The SPS Agreement requires that measures be based on scientific principles and risk assessment, be non-discriminatory, and be no more trade-restrictive than necessary to protect health. Problems in implementing the SPS Agreement include non-compliance with international standards and lack of notification, awareness, and development in some areas.

Plant quarantine and phytosanitary certification
The word quarantine derives from the Italian word “quaranti giorni”, meaning ‘about fourty days’. After the Black Death arrived in Europe in 1347, observation and experience showed that the incubation time for the disease, from infection to the appearance of symptoms, was a little less than 40 days.
Plant quarantine is defined as the legal enforcement of the measures aimed to prevent pests from spreading or to prevent them from multiplying further in case, they have already gained entry and have established in new restricted areas.
The importance of imposing restrictions on the movement of pest-infested plants or plant materials from one country to another was realized by Ireland famine 1845, the late blight pathogen (Phytophthora infestans) introduced into Ireland from Central
America resulted in almost total failure of the potato crop, the grapevine phylloxera was introduced into France from America around 1860, and the San Jose scale spread into the US in the latter part of the eighteenth century and caused severe damage. The first international plant protection convention (IPPC), the Phylloxera convention was signed at Berne on 3 November 1881 by five countries. This convention remained in force till 1951, when International Plant Protection Convention under FAO was established at Rome. This agreement was constituted with the purpose of securing common and effective action to prevent the introduction and spread of pests and diseases of plants and plant products.
The first Quarantine Act in the US came into force on 1905, while India passed an act in 1914 entitled “Destructive Insect and Pests Act of 1914”. This was later supplemented by a more comprehensive act in 1917.

'Protection of Plant Varieties & Farmers’ Rights Act under Intellectual Prope...
ABSTRACT
Mehta .P.
India is mainly an agricultural country and agriculture sector provides livelihood to 65-70 percent of the total population. Farmer is the breeder, conserver and distributor of not only seeds but also responsible for conservation of vast genetic diversity resources. So there is a need to protect the rights of the farmers and provide reward and recognition to farmers & farmers’ community engaged in conservation and development of vast genetic diversity.
IPR provides protection to rights of original inventor through its different forms viz. patents, trademarks, copyrights, geographical indications and plant variety protection throughout the world. IPR in the context of agriculture could be provided either through a patent or a sui generis system for plant. Under TRIPS agreement, it is obligatory to India to protect new plant variety either through patent or sui generis system or through combination of both. India opted for a sui generis system and enacted the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights Act, 2001 (PPVFR Act) to grant intellectual property rights to plant breeders, researchers and farmers and promoting plant breeding by vesting adequate IP rights protection which will boost further research and innovation in this field.
During the year of 2016–17 the authority received a total of 3569 applications of which 85% were filed by farmers. Apart from the 3041 farmers’ varieties, the public and private institutes submitted 230 applications of extant notified varieties, 221 applications of new varieties and 77 applications of varieties of common knowledge. In 2016–17, a total of 495 certificates of registration were issued. Of these, 288 belonged to farmers, 107 belonged to private organizations and 99 belonged to public organizations. In the last decade, the number of applications received annually has increased from 654 during 2007-08 to 3569 during 2016-17 (Annual Report 2016-2017)
Data on exchange of planting materials, release of notified varieties, seed production, seed replacement rate and public-private partnerships (PPP) are examined to ascertain the early impact of PVP on Indian seed industry. On the basis of evidence it is shown there is positive impact of PPVFR act on Indian seed industry (Venkatesh and Pal, 2014)
Being a decade old there is inadequacies in the effective implementation of act which are of grave concern to the seed industry and Indian agriculture which needs to resolve by the government and the authority to meet out the objectives of the act (Kumar PS et al. 2011).
In conclusion the PPV&FR act showcases that farmers’ and breeders’ rights can be protected under a single piece of legislation but there is need to focus more on farmers’ right than the breeders’ right for ensuring food security as India is an agricultural country. The major challenge of the act is unawareness among tribal communities who live in isolation in remote pocket of India.

Foreign Trade Law
The document discusses the Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS Agreement) which came into force in 1995. The SPS Agreement recognizes countries' rights to adopt science-based food safety, animal and plant health measures but aims to prevent such measures from being disguised protectionism. It establishes rules for risk assessment, harmonization of regulations, and transparency in the application of sanitary and phytosanitary measures. The SPS Agreement also includes provisions for technical assistance to developing countries and recognizes constraints they face in implementation.
PLANT QUARANTINE & SPS MEASURES
The document discusses plant quarantine and sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures. It summarizes the SPS Agreement established in 1994 which aims to protect human, animal and plant life from risks while avoiding unnecessary barriers to trade. It outlines the three main international standard setting bodies for food safety, animal health and plant health. The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) sets standards for plant health and preventing the spread of pests. National plant protection organizations implement SPS measures domestically and coordinate internationally under these agreements and conventions to facilitate trade while managing pest and disease risks.

The document discusses the Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS Agreement) which came into force in 1995. The SPS Agreement recognizes countries' rights to adopt science-based food safety, animal and plant health measures but aims to prevent such measures from being disguised protectionism. It establishes rules for risk assessment, harmonization of regulations, and transparency in the application of sanitary and phytosanitary measures. The SPS Agreement also includes provisions for technical assistance to developing countries and recognizes constraints they face in implementation.
PLANT QUARANTINE & SPS MEASURES
The document discusses plant quarantine and sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures. It summarizes the SPS Agreement established in 1994 which aims to protect human, animal and plant life from risks while avoiding unnecessary barriers to trade. It outlines the three main international standard setting bodies for food safety, animal health and plant health. The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) sets standards for plant health and preventing the spread of pests. National plant protection organizations implement SPS measures domestically and coordinate internationally under these agreements and conventions to facilitate trade while managing pest and disease risks.

Food Labeling as a market access tool
Food labelling regulation (FLR) is designed to protect the economic expectations of both consumers and the food industry.
Since compliance with food labelling requirements is necessary to market the product, FLRs have a straight impact on international trade and they may pose obstacles to international trade;
Within the World Trade Organization (WTO), traditional trade barriers such as tariffs are steadily being reduced, while food safety standards, regulations related to traceability, product certification, environmental standards and other regulations are increasing in scope and significance as international trade in food opens up.
The presentation addresses an introduction to the International Rules on Trade in Foods (SPS and TBT agreements) and some highlights on major changes in FLRs.

This document discusses Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) measures, which are regulations that countries implement to protect human, animal, and plant health from diseases, pests, and contaminants. SPS measures are important for international trade as countries import agricultural products to meet domestic needs. They can include requiring imports to come from pest- and disease-free areas, inspections, treatments, maximum residue limits, and restrictions on additives. The SPS Agreement governs how countries establish and apply SPS measures to international trade in a science-based manner.
Final cartagen protocol
The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety aims to ensure the safe handling, transport, and use of living modified organisms (LMOs) resulting from modern biotechnology. It works by establishing rules for risk assessment, risk management, and information sharing regarding transboundary movements of LMOs. The protocol is important because it allows countries to make informed decisions regarding LMOs while protecting biodiversity and human health.
