    Also available in:
    This standard presents as annexes phytosanitary treatments evaluated and adopted by the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures (CPM). It also describes the requirements for submission and evaluation of the efficacy data and other relevant information on a phytosanitary treatment that can be used as a phytosanitary measure and that will be annexed to this standard after its adoption. The treatments are for the control of regulated pests on regulated articles, primarily those moving in international trade. The adopted treatments provide the minimum requirements necessary to control a regulated pest at a stated efficacy. The scope of this standard does not include issues related to pesticide registration or other domestic requirements for approval of treatments (e.g. irradiation).

El libro presenta dos capítulo s introductorios, el primero sobre la FAO en general y el segundo sobre el desarrollo rural y agroalimentario de México. A partir de esa doble contextualización, el libro está organizado en áreas temáticas que cubren los principales aspectos de la cooperación técnica de la FAO en el país. En cada área temática se desarrolla una introducción que incluye una presentación de las capacidades y responsabilidades de FAO, y su relevancia para México; asimismo, se destacan algunas de las principales con tribuciones y logros de la cooperación de la FAO al desarrollo nacional. En seguida, se entrega la información sistemática y detallada de los proyectos de cooperación que han sido ejecutados en el área técnica correspondiente, así como una relación de los documentos e informes generados.
