Resumen
Descripción
International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM) no. 6 (Guidelines for surveillance) refers to “the components of survey and monitoring systems for the purpose of pest detection and the supply of information for use in pest risk analyses, the establishment of pest free areas and, where appropriate, the preparation of pest lists”. These components constitute a plant pest surveillance system. Surveillance is an obligation of a national plant protection organization (NPPO) and underpins other obligations and phytosanitary decision-making. It is a critical part of the national phytosanitary system. Plant pest surveillance thus plays a key role in the overall mandate of the NPPO and is required by Article IV.2(b) of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC).
