How do we accomplish the Mission ? Promote harmonized approaches to plant health Communicate with stakeholders Promote transparency Foster trust Translate-Interpret Cooperate with key stakeholders

How do we accomplish the Mission ? NAPPO Products Regional plant health standards – Regional Standards for Phytosanitary Measures or RSPMs Phytosanitary Alerts for the 3 member countries Science and Technology Documents Discussion Documents Position Documents Protocols Training Workshops Symposia

NAPPO Products – www.NAPPO.org RSPMs Guidelines for the Petition for Import and Release of Non-Apis Pollinating Insects into NAPPO Countries (RSPM 29) Integrated measures for the trade of Christmas trees (RSPM 37) Phytosanitary Alert System – www.pestalert.org Official Pest Report - Anoplophora glabripennis (ALB) - Portions of Long Island, New York, added to the Regulated Area in the United States Emerging Pest Alert - Ash dieback (Chalara fraxinea): Continued spread in Europe S&T Documents Application of biological control to Emerald Ash Borer in North America (2013) Discussion Documents The role of NAPPO in addressing Invasive Alien Species (2011) – DD 03 Pre-Invasiveness Screening (2008) – DD 01 Position Document The role of NAPPO in addressing IAS (2011) – P 04 Training Workshops AGM regional workshop (2015) Implementation of ISPM 15 (2014 & 2016)

How effective are we? 1999-2000 - NAPPO developed/adopted a regional standard (Import Requirements for Wood Dunnage and Other Wood Packing Materials into a NAPPO Member Country) that was the precursor of ISPM 15 – Regulation of wood packaging material in international trade Through harmonization ISPM 15 has reduced the number of introductions of wood infesting pests throughout the world – see below data from inspections

The state of NAPPO 14 expert groups 18 projects – 10 are completed 8 have deliverables in 2017 and beyond Call for new projects – June 1, 2017
