Review of Workshop Goals
David Nowell
IPPC Secretariat
Phyto eCert Workshop
Seoul, Rep. of Korea
07 June 2011
Background
Topic of interest for a number of years
WG 2006 Premature
UNCEFACT
Re-visit when technology and system more mature
1 UNCEFACT meeting
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
Ottawa Decisions
1. Agreement on definition of Electronic Phytosanitary Certification;
2. All elements for electronic phytosanitary certification exchange mechanism will be derived from ISPM-12;
3. Universally accepted standards for secure certificate exchange, message format, and implementation of procedures for exchange will be used;
4. 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);
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.
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
Added to CPM Work Programme
CPM 4 background paper: CPM 2009/33
CPM 5 (2010): CPM 2010/24
Agreed to paper presented
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
OEWG of Phytosanitary Electronic Certification
Republic of Korea = hosts
NZ providing substantial finances
CPM Agreed to meeting.
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
OEWG Objectives2. 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
OEWG Objectives
3. Decisions to be taken:• Contents of the XML message
• Transmission of the message
• Communication on harmonized elements
• Smooth transition
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
Future
More questions:• Centralized system in the IPPC Secretariat?
• Common software?
• NPPO support systems next?
