Continuing to consolidate major objectives of the 4th Strategic Plan

Transparency of world animal

disease situation

(including zoonoses)

Collect and publish

veterinary scientific

information, notably animal

disease prevention and

control methods

Sanitary safety of international

trade in animals and

their products under the

mandate given by the WTO

OIE activities are a global public good

Reinforcing priority missions of the Fifth Strategic Plan 2011-2015

Food safety: • Need for a global

supply of safe food • The Veterinary

Services play a key role in protecting consumers

Food security:

Is a key public health

concern

Healthy animals

guarantee food security

and food safety

Developing international standards on animal welfare

Veterinary education

Relation animal / environment and “One Health” A worldwide strategy for managing risks at the animal-human interface ecosystems

Scientific progress is incorporated into practice to achieve progressive control of diseases and food safety

Through the publication of standards, guidelines and

recommendations

Which will be translated in tools,

methods, strategies and policies, laws & regulations

Based on responsive, transparent and rapid procedures.

Well recognized and independent experts invited

to participate to small groups which reports to the Specialist Commissions.

Specialist Commissions play a central role in the OIE standard setting procedures

Major source of OIE experts: OIE Reference Centres, comprising Reference Laboratories and

Collaborating Centres (277 in 2012)

OIE standard setting process

- Specialized Commissions: Scientific Commission for Animal

Diseases, Code Com., Biological Standards Com., Aquatic animals Com.

- Ad Hoc Groups: FMD Vaccine Quality,

FMS Status, PPR, PRRS, Brucellosis, CSF, RVF, Epidemiology, Trade in animal

products, Antimicrobial resistance…

- Working Groups: Wildlife Food safety…

OIE standard setting process

Proposed Standards sent to all OIE Delegates Comments from all OIE Delegates Consultation of major partners

Second round of discussions with Commissions…

General Session May

Adoption: vote of all Delegates during the World Assembly

Also:

- Aquatic Animal Health Code

- Manual of Diagnostic Tests

for Aquatic Animals

Disease Control strategies Underlying principles - It is better to prevent than to respond

to crisis

- To control at source where the pathogens are

- To be science based

- Disease prevention and control programmes against TADs are public

goods

- Applicable to bioterrorism

- Based on surveillance and rapid response:

Transparent health information

Early warning and detection

Immediate response

- Risk based approaches, Risk analysis:

Understanding the epidemiology

of diseases

Integrative and participatory

approaches

Multidisciplinary (socioeco., ecol…)

- Multisectoral approaches:

Animal and human health,

Agrosystems, Wildlife…

- Private Public Parternership

- Other factors than sciences to be

adressed:

Consumer perception

Economical and political pressure

Disease Control strategies Underlying principles

- Good governance of animal

health systems:

Quality of Veterinary Services

to implement and certify

Appropriate legislation

- Use of OIE standards by importing and

exporting countries

Component 2 of the Global Strategy

The OIE Performance of the Veterinary Services

(PVS) Pathway will be the major tool of Component 2 “Strengthening Veterinary Services” to structure and plan the activities and assess

progress.

To endorse National FMD control plans or to apply for FMD-free status recognition, countries progressing along the PCP Pathway will have to

develop in parallel their VS to be able to fulfill the criteria.

The basic principle is that a country embarking on the PCP-FMD should acquire the appropriate

capacity and capability of the VS to conduct activities aimed at the control or elimination of

FMD (and other TADs). This is referred to as the ‘enabling environment’ in the PCP.

A correspondence table has been worked out between the PCP Stages and the compliance level

required for each of the PVS Critical competencies (CCs) relevant to FMD control.

Linking the OIE PVS and FMD PCP Tools

Relationship

between FMD PCP Stages and OIE PVS

Critical competency Levels

42

33 OIE PVS Critical Competencies (CCs) among 46 are of particular relevance to the prevention and control of FMD:

Animal Health (4 / 5)

Veterinary Public Health (1 / 4)

Laboratory (2 / 2)

Trade (4 / 8)

General Management (17 / 31)

Resources (5 / 6)

All countries reaching PCP Stage 3 must at least have reached compliancy level 3 (i.e.

general agreement with OIE standards) for the 33 FMD-relevant CCs

FMD PCP Stage 2: PVS level 3 required for 17 CCs

FMD PCP Stage 3 (request for official OIE endorsed FMD national control programme):

PVS Level 3 for all 33 CCs

FMD PCP Stage 4 (transition towards OIE-free status with or without vaccination): PVS

level 3 for all 33 CCs
