摘要

Agreements with five new Contracting Parties to the IPPC entered into force during 2010: Benin, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Singapore and Tajikistan, bringing total membership to 177 parties. The Deputy Director General (DDG) of FAO Ms. Tut-wiler, welcomed Commission on Phytosanitary Measures (CPM) members to FAO and wished them a productive meeting. She strongly linked the International Plant Protection Organization (IPPC) work with the global challenges to fight hunger and to protect the environment. She noted that some countries had difficulties implementing the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPMs) due to a lack of capacity.
