Book (series)Report of the FAO Workshop on Risk-based Fish Rejection at Borders. Rome, 30 October to 1 November 2019 2020
Also available in:
No results found.The FAO workshop on risk-based fish inspection at borders was held to understand the key food safety standard compliance challenges when exporting fishery and aquaculture products; in doing so, it sought to guide future FAO work in the area of trade facilitation. Available data from some of the main importing countries was presented during the event and the differences between the rejection profiles analysed. Participating countries presented their food safety regulation frameworks, which provide the basis – as well as the authority – to operate a food import control system designed to protect consumers and facilitate fair practices in food trade. Participants explained how their respective import food control systems provided the level of protection deemed appropriate by the country, establishing safety measures that protected human life or health within a country’s territory. Participants recommended the application of risk-based imported fish controls and provided a set of recommendations to improve the reporting of import rejections, as well as recommendations to improve data analysis. -
BookletWorkshop Summary Report: Training of Trainers on Risk Categorization for Effective Risk-based Imported Food Control in the Philippines
15–17 May 2018, Quezon City, Philippines

No results found.The concept of risk categorization has been employed in the Philippines, particularly within the plant quarantine system at border controls. However, such risk categorization does not cover food safety issues such as pesticide residues and foodborne pathogen detections. With the aim of having a holistic approach to risk categorization for livestock products, fisheries, forestry products and processed food, the first training of food safety authorities and relevant agencies for imported food control – for the purpose of exercising risk categorization processes – was organized under the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations SP4 One Health project “Strengthening national capacity for risk-based food import control within a One Health framework”. Over 70 participants attended the three-day workshop with the objective of becoming effective at applying risk categorization for all food items imported into the Philippines, and identifying risk categorization priorities. Through technical presentations, examples of good practices in other countries, and hands-on exercises on food import scenarios, participants obtained knowledge on the objectives and principles of risk categorization. They also developed their capacity in communicating risk categorization results with non-food safety partner agencies. The workshop enabled participants to discuss which approach was best suited to the Philippines. To advance risk categorization for effective imported food control in the country, participants agreed to adopt potential food safety risks and country of origin as risk categorization priorities, and identified action points to mainstream risk categorization for imported food control in the country. -
BookletInternational Plant Protection Convention (1997) 2024The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) Text makes provisions for the global protection of plant health from pests. The Convention aims to guide the 185 IPPC contracting parties' national plant protection organization as well as policy- and decision-makers and national administrators. The Convention seeks to promote international cooperation in protecting plants, agricultural products, and natural resources from pests, to support achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals to end poverty and hunger, protect the environment from the impacts of climate change, and to facilitate safe international trade.
