# Para Text Comment TPG response32 G (General Comment) IPPC Regional Workshop Central Asia & Central Europe 

RW conclusion: there is no separate definition for 'phytosanitary' in relation to plant helath' and 'quarantine'. If a definition of 'phytosanitary' is needed, this should be proposed aas a new topic.Category : SUBSTANTIVE 

The TPG referred to Appendix 1 (List of old terms, no longer included in the Glossary), page 40, of the Explanatory document on ISPM 5, which explains that “phytosanitary” was originally defined as “pertaining to plant quarantine”, but deleted in 1999, and which further refers to note 17 (page 36), where a short summary of years’ discussions on this central issue is presented.

37 G (General Comment) Armenia Предложения и комментарии по проекту поправок в МСФМ 5: Глоссарий фитосанитарных терминов (1994-001)

1.1. К вопросу о пересмотре термина «вегетационный период» - НЕ СОГЛАСНЫ • Удаление слова «времени» - НЕ СОГЛАСНЫ – хотя в некотором смысле эти слова означают одно и тоже, однако фраза «период времени» более созвучна с грамматической точки зрения и указывает именно на временный промежуток, а не другой величины. • «растения активно растут» - В любом растительном организме два интегральных процесса – рост и развитие, тесно взаимосвязаны и протекают параллельно, причем активный рост может сопровождаться медленным развитие, и наоборот. Замедленный рост при активном развитии не означает, что растение не растет и не находится в вегетационном периоде. • Предлагаемая формулировка «Период времени, когда вид растения активно растет и развивается в зоне, месте производства или участке производства”.

1.2. К вопросу о пересмотре термина «обследование»

1.1 “Growing period”- The TPG noted that the issue

related to the deletion of the word “time” in the definition is a translation issue. If in Russian it is essential to keep the reference to time, the TPG recommended it to be translated this way into Russian. The Secretariat will forward this to FAO translation services for consideration.

- Issue related to “growth” and “development”: see response to comment 56.

1.2 “Survey”- Issue related to the deletion of

the word “time” in the definition: see above response for “growing period” (point 1.1)

- Other comments noted.

# Para Text Comment TPG response

• Добавление фразы «на вредные огранизмы» - СОГЛАСНЫ- указывает на объект обследований • Удаление слова «времени» - НЕ СОГЛАСНЫ – см. Пункт 1.1. • Цели проведения обследований, «с целью определения присутствия или отсутствия вредных организмов в зоне, или для установления границ распространения или характеристик популяции вредного организма в зоне» - СОГЛАСНЫ- цели определены более четко.

2.1. К вопросу об удалении термина «удержание» - СОГЛАСНЫ, т.к. способствует избежанию путаницы при использовании сходных по значению терминов «карантин» и «задержка».

2.2. К вопросу об удалении термина «вегетационный сезон» - СОГЛАСНЫ- приведенные доводы (отсутствие “вегетационных сезонов” в ряде тропических стран, возможность роста и развития растений в искусственных условиях) обоснованы.

2.3. К вопросу об удалении термина «маркировка» - СОГЛАСНЫ – нынешнее определение не отражает сути и значения термина для фитосанитарии, термин «маркировка» не специфичен для фитосанитарии, и его употребление в отдельных стандартах имеет специфическое значение, которое целесообразно указывать для каждого отдельного случая.

[Please see below google translation: Proposals and comments on draft amendments to ISPM 5: Glossary of phytosanitary terms (1994-001)

 1.1. To the question of revision of the term "vegetation period" - DO NOT AGREE • Deletion of the word "time" - DO NOT AGREE - although in a sense these words mean the same thing, but the phrase "period of time" is more consonant with the grammatical point of view and specifies precisely the time interval, and not the other magnitude. • "plants grow actively" - In any plant organism, two integral processes - growth and development, are closely interrelated and run in parallel, and active growth can be accompanied by slow development, and vice versa. Slow growth with active development does not mean that the plant does not grow and is not in the vegetative period.

2.1 “Confinement”: noted.

2.2 “Growing season”: noted.

2.3 “Mark”: noted.

# Para Text Comment TPG response • Proposed wording "Period of time when the plant species actively grows and develops in the zone, the place of production or the site of production."

 1.2. Concerning the revision of the term "survey"

 • Addition of the phrase "for harmful restrictions" - AGREE - indicates the object of surveys • Delete the word "time" - DO NOT ACCEPT - see Item 1.1. • The objectives of the surveys, "in order to determine the presence or absence of pests in the zone, or to establish the distribution limits or characteristics of the pest population in the zone" - AGREE - objectives are defined more clearly.

 2.1. To the issue of removing the term "retention" - AGREE, as helps to avoid confusion when using similar terms "quarantine" and "delay".

 2.2. To the question of removing the term "vegetation season" - AGREE - the arguments given (the absence of "vegetation seasons" in a number of tropical countries, the possibility of growth and development of plants in artificial conditions) are justified.

 2.3. To the question of removing the term "marking" - AGREE - the current definition does not reflect the essence and meaning of the term for phytosanitary, the term "labeling" is not specific for phytosanitary, and its use in individual standards has a specific meaning that it is advisable to indicate for each individual case.]

# Para Text Comment TPG responsean area , place of production or production site [ICPM, 2003]

“Growing period (of a plant species)”. Although we understand the reasons for the revision, particular concern is now raised by the addition of "in an area, place of production or production site" as it is felt that it does not clarify the definition but rather confuses it. E.g. there is a risk of understanding that if a plant is grown, during its months of active growth, in two places of production (a container plant or pot plant) the plant is considered to be grown in two growing periods. If the definition needs to be changed the TPG should work again on the definitions of “growing period” and “growing season” (see EPPO comment on paragraph 77)

Category : SUBSTANTIVE 

The TPG discussed this thoroughly, but did not find the proposed definition would lead to the type of misunderstanding suggested by the comment.

The TPG recalled that the term “growing period” is essential for inspection and treatment purposes to ensure that those are carried out when relevant (i.e. when the plant actively grows).

The TPG noted that “growing period” is meant to be more specific than “growing season” because “growing season” would refer to plant species in general whereas “growing period” would refer to a particular plant species grown in a specific location (e.g. tomatoes grow all year around in some countries, but only in specific periods and in greenhouses in other countries). They agreed that the addition of “in an area, place of production or production site” in the definition of “growing period” is necessary to convey the idea that the growing period depends on the location and this is important for countries to set their import requirements. Without the qualifier “in an area, place of production or production site”, the proposed definition would be rather tautological and meaningless.

While the TPG acknowledged that plants can be moved during their growing period and can be grown in several places of production, they agreed that, in such cases, the common understanding of the definition proposed in the 2017 draft Amendments to ISPM 5 did not imply that several inspections would be required during the growing period, unless countries would deemed it to be appropriate due to a change in the growing conditions related to the place of production. They recalled that the Glossary provides a list of terms and definitions with specific phytosanitary meaning, but does

# Para Text Comment TPG responsenot set requirements.

The TPG considered deleting the proposed addition of “an area, place of production or production site” and suggested the possible following definition for “growing period”: “Period, depending on the local growing conditions, when a plant species actively grows”. However, they felt that the addition of “depending on the local growing conditions” did not improve clarity. The TPG recalled that “an area, place of production or production site” had been added in the proposed definition for “growing period”, due to the proposed deletion of “growing season” where this was included in the definition. They noted that the current Glossary definition for “growing period” refers to “growing season”, and that the current link to “an area, place of production or production site” did not seem to give rise to confusion. In addition, the TPG noted that, if the intention had been to link the growing period to only one specific area, place of production or production site, the proposed wording would have been : “Period when a plant species actively grows in one area, place of production or production site”.

Therefore, the TPG agreed that the common understanding of the definition proposed in the 2017 draft Amendments to ISPM 5 would not induce confusion.

The TPG recalls that by adding the qualifier “(of pests)”, “survey” could be used in a general sense (for instance for surveys in the IPPC domain done by the Implementation Review and Support System).

77 49 survey (of pests) Bahrain 1- The target of ISPM No. 5 is to assist NPPOs and other Parties in exchanging information and harmonizing the vocabulary used in official data and legislation related to phytosanitary measures. new update of The agricultural quarantine law of the GCC countries has been prepared and is now in its final stages to implementation and has been based on the definition of survey according to the definition of the survey in ISPM 5 before 2015, from 2015 to 2017 the definition was amended twice and we suggest that such the definition should be amended every 5 years because its they relate to our legislation related to phytosanitary measures 2- Objection to the addition (determine the presence or absence of pests in an area,) because they overlap with the more comprehensive definition of surveillance, which is defined as an official process for collecting and recording data on the presence or absence of a pest by survey or Monitoring or any other procedures. Therefore, the process of determining whether the pest is present or not exists is subject to the control procedures, which can be used to determine this or any other procedure. The survey is not a condition to prove the absence of the pest

1. TPG appreciates the point. TPG believes that all the proposed revisions to the Glossary are intended to improve the clarity and overcome unnecessary restrictions of the definitions, and do not change the underlying concepts.

2. Considered but not incorporated. The TPG fully acknowledges that a survey is not always necessary to determine the absence of a pest, but on the other hand a survey may be used to do so. TPG also recalls that Glossary definitions do not carry any requirements for NPPOs.

Considered but not incorporated. The original proposal intentionally distinguishes between determining presence or absence of a pest, and determining boundaries or characteristics of a pest population (i.e., already known to exist). Mixing those concepts would create confusion.

Modified.

The TPG agreed that surveys are also used to determine the presence or absence of pests or the boundaries or characteristics of a pest population in a place of production or production site, and the proposal from Montenegro clarifies this.

The TPG considered if using “area” was sufficient, because place of production and production site are smaller entities within an area. However,the TPG felt that it was important to clarify that survey can be carried out also at the “lower” levels, as surveys can be used to establish pest free places of production or pest free production sites (as per ISPM 10). This would also be consistent with the draft revision of ISPM 6 on Surveillance, which is recommended to CPM-13 (2018) for adoption.
