5 An update on the new rules and Regulations WTO, World Trade Organization regulates international border crossing trade. Members: 164 countries on 29 July 2016 The Agreement on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS) deals with among others, animal and plant health rights to adopt SPS should not create unnecessary obstacles to trade 5 Slide 5

8 An update on the new rules and Regulations I Invasive Alien Species prevent the import of potentially invasive alien species, plants and animals, from becoming established in their territory and causing problems. EU Regulation 1143/ the Union list alien species in the European environment % of alien species arriving in Europe eventually become invasive The cost to the European economy is estimated to be at least 12 billion per year in areas such as health care and animal health costs, crop yield losses, fish stock losses 8 Slide 8

9 EU Regulation 1143/ the Union list measures with regard to species on the list: 1. prevention, 2. early detection and rapid eradication of new invasions, 3. management of invasions that are already widely spread. In other words, listed species can no longer be intentionally kept, transported, reproduced or released mainly contain species already present in the EU The list contains 37 species that cause damage on a scale that justifies dedicated measures across the Union 9 Slide 9

10 Plants (Terrestrial) 7 Plants (Aquatic) 7 (Hydrocotyle ranunculoides) (Ludwigia peploides) (Myriophyllum aquaticum) (Lagarosiphon major) Eichhornia crassipes) *** (Ludwigia grandiflora) (Cabomba caroliniana) *** Mammals 9 Birds 3 Reptiles/Amphibians 2 Invertebrates 1 Freshwater invertebrates 6 (Pacifastacus leniusculus) (Eriocheir sinensis) (Orconectus virilis) (Orconectus limosus) (Procambarus fallax f. virginalis.) (Procambarus clarkii) * Fish 2 (Percottus glenii) (Pseudorasbora parva) * Slide 10

11 EU Regulation 1143/ the Union list Eichhornia crassipes -> Water hyacinth Cabomba caroliniana -> Fanwort Wim Tomey OFI journal 78 excellent decorations in aquariums and ponds Procambarus clarkii * Pseudorasbora parva * 11 Slide 11

12 EU Regulation 1143/ the Union list the deadline for proposing species for the second update of the list is 10 February The list is not static and indeed the IAS Regulation foresees that it should be updated. 12 Slide 12

13 An update on the new rules and Regulations II CITES: the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species ->subjecting the international trade in specimens of selected species to certain controls. Appendix I species threatened with extinction Appendix II species in which trade must be controlled in order to avoid utilization incompatible with their survival Appendix III species that are protected in at least one country, which has asked other CITES parties for assistance in controlling the trade 13 Slide 13

14 II CITES Ornamental fish species listed on CITES App. III. Several South American freshwater fish species go on CITES app. III with effect from 3 January After CoP17 NOTIFICATION TO THE PARTIES - Geneva, 5 October 2016 Amendment to Appendix III -> in effect 90 days after the date of this Notification, i.e. on 3 January Slide 14

15 II CITES Brazil Potamotrygon spp. (population of Brazil) Hypancistrus zebra Colombia Potamotrygon constellata Potamotrygon magdalenae Potamotrygon motoro Potamotrygon orbignyi. Potamotrygon schroederi. Potamotrygon scobina Potamotrygon yepezi Paratrygon aiereba 15 Slide 15

16 II CITES -> Certificates of origin / export permits Exporters in all other countries than Brazil and Colombia, will need to include certificates of origin for all specimens of the species now listed. only be issued by a designated Management Authority (National CITES authority) or by the competent authority if trade is from a State not a Party to the Convention 16 Slide 16

17 An update on the new rules and Regulations III Health certification -Australia new Health Certificate for megalocytiviruses families Cichlidae (cichlids), Poeciliidae (poeciliids such as guppies, mollies, platy and swordtails), Osphronemidae (gouramis, bettas and paradise fish). subfamilies Luciocephalinae and subfamilies Macropodusinae 17 Slide 17

18 III Health certification -Australia 1 March 2016 imports of these species must either be: sourced from a megalocytivirus-free compartment, zone or country, or batch tested negative for Megalocytivirus prior to exporting to Australia. 18 Slide 18

19 III Health certification -Australia Trial March 2015 March 2016 fish sampled from shipments at the airport two months China, Germany, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Thailand many of the species tested showed positive results. Impact on the industry The new certification requirements will affect around 40% of all fish imported into Australia potential to have significant economic impact on operators. 19 Slide 19

20 Establishing a disease-free zone surveillance period specified by the Competent Authority demonstrate the absence of megalocytiviruses and suspected clinical signs in the source population a minimum of two rounds of sampling and testing for megalocytiviruses in the source population (detect disease at 5% assumed prevalence with a 95% confidence level.) 20 Slide 20

21 Chapter 1.4, Aquatic Animal Health Surveillance, of the OIE s Aquatic Animal Health Code (OIE Code) ->designing a surveillance program for health certification purposes. ->Basic biosecurity conditions, as defined in the OIE Code, must have been continuously been met during the surveillance period. ->generally two years. 21 Slide 21
