Deadline on Thu, 25 Aug 2016, 22:00

Deadline extended to 26 August 2016 due to low response.

The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) Secretariat is soliciting discussion papers in preparation for the meeting of the Expert Working Group (EWG) on the International movement of grain (2008-007) which will take place from 19 to 23 September 2016 in Melbourne, Australia.

The EWG will develop a draft standard according to Specification 60 International movement of grain (https://www.ippc.int/en/publications/2512/), which was approved by the Standards Committee in May 2014. IPPC contracting parties and other interested parties are invited to submit discussion papers by 12 August 2016 to the IPPC Secretariat ([email protected]) for the EWG to consider.

As further background information, an Open ended workshop on the International movement of grain was held in Vancouver, Canada, in December 2011. The report of the meeting is available through this link: https://www.ippc.int/en/publications/2139/.

Thank you for your kind cooperation.
