COMPILATION OF MEMBER COMMENTS - COSAVE EXPERIENCE Argentina Brasil Chile Paraguay Uruguay COMITE DE SANIDAD VEGETAL DEL CONO SUR Bolivia COMPILATION OF MEMBER COMMENTS - COSAVE EXPERIENCE 21th TC, Entebbe, Uganda. 2009 Ing . Agr. Soledad Castro Dorochessi

OUR TASK Compile member comments of a draft ISPM submitted to public consultation. Draft ISPM on post- entry quarantine. Number of countries that submitted comments: 31 Number of comments received: 546

OUR TASK Time consumed: 20-25 working hours Main problems detected: cases in which suggested modifications were not highlighted, erased text that was not crossed out or items that were not clearly identified. No operational difficulties were detected

Recommendations for the future The person in charge of compiling comments must know English and other languages. More training to countries is needed, on how to perform the comments. More coordination is desirable to communicate to the Secretariat that comments of some member countries are the same.

Recommendations for the future This is a very concrete and positive way to help the Secretariat to deal with a rush before the SC. May be other RPPO´s could get involved in compiling comments, due to their training and expertise in dealing with templates.
