  1. Review of Workshop Goals David Nowell IPPC Secretariat PhytoeCert Workshop Seoul, Rep. of Korea 07 June 2011

  2. Background Topic of interest for a number of years WG 2006 • Premature • UNCEFACT • Re-visit when technology and system more mature 1 UNCEFACT meeting

  3. Ottawa eCert Meeting First international in-depth discussion NPPOs, partners (e.g. WCO) and industry Understanding of eCert Definitions Other organizations / stakeholders Status in various countries

  4. Ottawa Decisions Agreement on definition of Electronic Phytosanitary Certification; All elements for electronic phytosanitary certification exchange mechanism will be derived from ISPM-12; Universally accepted standards for secure certificate exchange, message format, and implementation of procedures for exchange will be used; UN/CEFACT Schema (data elements, core components) must be reviewed to ensure consistency with ISPM-12 requirements and a user guide developed to include an 'ISPM-12 Overlay for the UN/CEFACT Schema' (an ISPM-12 specific schema imposing business restrictions on the UN/CEFACT Schema);

  5. Ottawa Decisions 5. During transition periods in implementation, current hard-copy practices would still apply; 6. Rely on IT experts to provide advice on methods for flexible and secure electronic transfer; 7. Initiate a multilateral standardization approach rather than a bilateral approach with respect to country-to-country negotiations for exchange; 8. Engage developing countries through regional cooperation and pilot projects and use IPPC for outreach activities; and 9. Develop simple-to-understand communication pieces such as a background paper and “myth-busting” Questions and Answers.

  6. Ottawa eCert Meeting • Informal Working groups • Get onto IPPC work programme • Needs global agreement / consensus • Build Phyto eCert standard • Consistent with ISPM 12 revision • Consistent with UNCEFACT eCert standard

  7. Added to CPM Work Programme CPM 4 background paper: CPM 2009/33 CPM 5 (2010): CPM 2010/24 Agreed to paper presented

  8. Revision of ISPM 12 • Adopted in 2011 • Made allowance for eCert • Electronic version of model Phytosanitary Certificate • Appendix, NOT an Annex • Blank – waiting for adoption

  9. OEWG of Phytosanitary Electronic Certification • Republic of Korea = hosts • NZ providing substantial finances • CPM • Agreed to meeting.

  10. OEWG Objectives 1. General Objective: Determine what needs to be developed so that a standardized phytosanitary electronic certification system is defined for implementation between NPPOs

  11. OEWG Objectives • 2. Specific objectives: • determine the standardized contents (data elements) of the electronic phytosanitary certificate • determine the standardized way of secure and authentic transmission of the electronic phytosanitary certificate from an exporting NPPO to an importing NPPO • determine how to get the standardized elements of electronic phytosanitary certification accepted and widely used • determine how to make the standardized elements of electronic phytosanitary certification available to all NPPOs • determine the operational processes and plans needed to have a smooth transition from paper certificates to electronic certificates

  12. OEWG Objectives • 3. Decisions to be taken: • Contents of the XML message • Transmission of the message • Communication on harmonized elements • Smooth transition

  13. Future • Annual OEWG meeting if resources available • Beginning of an IPPC standard setting process • Virtual • Face-to-face if extra-budgetary resources available • SC • CPM • Appendix to ISPM 12

  14. Future • More questions: • Centralized system in the IPPC Secretariat? • Common software? • NPPO support systems next?
