Recommendations of 2003 Pest Lists Workshop (1)

• RECOMMENDATION 1
• Workshop Participants recommended that ASEAN
  member countries give a high priority to the
  needs of their biological collections when
  negotiating with donors for assistance in SPS

• RECOMMENDATION 2
• Workshop Participants recommended that the need
  for donor assistance in building biological
  collections be brought to the attention of the
  ASEAN Sectoral Working Group on Crops.
• RECOMMENDATION 3
• Workshop Participants noted the opportunities for
  funding from the Standards and Trade Development
  Facility (STDF) of the World Trade Organization
  and the Trade and Investment Liberalisation
  Facilitation (TILF) account administered by APEC

  consider opportunities for funding from these
  sources, and task the ASEAN Plant Health
  Cooperation Network (APHCN) in developing
  activities.

  the purpose of compiling a similar compendium
  appropriate for ASEAN situations.
• RECOMMENDATION 8
• Workshop participants noted the requirement of
  the SPS Agreement that countries adopt
  international standards where these exist and
  recommended that senior management in
  institutions responsible for maintaining
  arthropod pest collections and plant disease
  herbaria be urged to provide resources to make
  this possible.
