National wood packaging quarantine system (1)

In order to maintain the security of the country’s forest resources and prevent the spread and spread of various forest pests and diseases, of course, it goes without saying that some of them are not for the purpose of setting up technical barriers to trade. Almost all countries have formulated and implemented more stringent imported wood packaging materials. Quarantine system. Especially recently, many countries have cited and followed very stringent European quarantine rules when formulating their respective quarantine systems. At the same time, countries have also strengthened their research on the quarantine requirements and standards for wood packaging of their trading partners in order to adopt effective countermeasures. For example, in Japan, for the European Community, China, the United States, Australia, and other countries and regions, the requirements for health and quarantine of the wooden packaging from Japan shall be implemented. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries prepares a “List of Quarantine Requirements for Imported Wood Packaging Plants in the Countries concerned” for detailed collection. The above-mentioned countries and regions have collated and researched the data on the varieties of objects, diseases and pests, disinfection and sterilization standards and measures required for the health and quarantine of wooden packaging. Now I would like to give some brief introductions on the current status of the wood packaging quarantine requirements and the future direction of development.
I. Main contents of the new quarantine regulations formulated by the European Community Forest Health Bureau 1. Background In 2000, Finland, Sweden and France discovered pine wood nematode from wood packaging from Canada, China, Japan and the United States. In response, on July 7, 2000, the Forestry Commission made clear the quarantine and disposal plan for the pests such as Pineood Nematode that invaded the coniferous wood packaging. France also took the lead in requesting the European Community (EC) Forest Health Organiazation to take emergency measures immediately within its own authority. The Standing Committee of the Forest Health Bureau also believes that according to the original regulations, pests and diseases from wood packaging cannot be fully and effectively prevented and new quarantine rules need to be formulated. And through the decision of the World Trade Organization (WTO), each country concerned must be notified to strengthen the quarantine requirements for wood packaging of imported goods within the deadline. The committee also requested all relevant countries to conclude consultation and coordination on this issue by October 2000. During this period, the standing committee will listen to and study the interpretations of various countries so that this rule can be implemented starting from January 1, 2001. However, because this rule applies only to wooden packaging from Japan, the United States, Canada, and China, it has caused huge repercussions from relevant countries, so it was later allegedly forced to postpone the implementation date by half a year, and finally in January 2001. The Standing Committee decided to begin implementation on October 1, 2001.
However, the European Forestry Commission announced on February 2, 2001 that the specific quarantine disposal methods and implementation dates should be determined through consultation among the relevant governments. At the same time, in accordance with the requirements of the International Standard for Solid Wood Packaging Material (WEPM) of the International Standard for Coniferous Wood Packaging Materials, it cooperated with a special committee that formulated the “Quarantine Control Guidelines” to start recommending all types of forest resources threats. The effective treatment of pest spread. As this Quarantine Control Standard contains the requirements of the European Community's new quarantine regulations, it was adopted by the European Community for a while. The European Forestry Commission estimated that in May 2002, it would revise its quarantine disposal program to make it quarantine-controlled. The issue of consistency in the Guidelines was considered.
2. Quarantine rules apply to all susceptible wood species (Susceptible Wood) from Canada, China, Japan, and the United States. (To be continued)
