Animal Health Codes

OIE’s international standards

• OIE develops and publishes

health standards for trade in animals and animal products => Codes

biological standards for diagnostic tests and vaccines => Manuals

• adopted by OIE Member Countries during General Session each May by consensus

Science-based approach

OIE Specialist Commissions

Biological Standards Commission "Laboratories Commission"

Terrestrial Animal Health Standards Commission

"Code Commission"

Aquatic Animal Health Standards Commission

"Aquatic Animals Commission"

http://www.oie.int/eng/publicat/en_standards.htm

What is the purpose of the Codes?

• Primary object is to set recommended actions to be used by Veterinary Authorities or other Competent Authorities – to establish health regulations for the safe importation of animals

and animal products=>protect animal and human health and guard against zoonotic diseases

– while avoiding unjustified trade restrictions

• The Codes are NOT textbooks on terrestrial or aquatic animal diseases, nor on zoonosis.

gideonb

While the Codes are primarily aimed at the protection of global animal health and to prevent the spread of pathogens to animals through international trade, the OIE also has an obligation in terms of human health implications and therefore compliment the guidelines and recommendations of the Codex Allimentarius to sensitise Member Countries on the zoonotic implications of the trade in specific commodities of animal origin.

Contents of the Terrestrial Code

• Part 1 - General provisions

– General Definitions : glossary– Section 1 – Animal disease diagnosis, surveillance and notification– Section 2 - Risk analysis– Section 3 - Quality of VS– Section 4 – General recommendations: disease prevention and control – Section 5 – Trade measures, import / export procedures and veterinary certification– Section 6 – Veterinary Public Health– Section 7 – Animal Welfare

Contents of the Terrestrial Code (cont.)

• Part 2: Specific chapters on diseases for

– live animals– genetic material (semen, embryos, oocytes, etc)– products of animal origin (meat, milk, hides/skins) for:

• human consumption• Animal feeding• Agriculture or industrial use• Pharmaceutical use• trophies

e.g : FMD, BSE, Avian Influenza…


• in each chapter, articles on

– description of pathogen / disease/ infection, incubation period (determining quarantine period and other risk mitigation procedures)

– determining status of a country, zone or compartment (establishment; suspension; recovery)

– Recommendations for imports, depending on statusesOIE aquatic Animal Health Code: same outlines / 1 volume only

OIE INTERNATIONALSTANDARD

Comments

gideonb

It is critically important that official delegates realise and accept their responsibility to participate actively in the debate and setting of internationnal standards. Once a standard is adopted by the Interntional Committee and included in the Code, a Member Country who participated in the decision-making process at the meeting of the International Committee where the standard was adopted, is obliged to support the adopted standard. If a Member Country deviates in the application of the accepted standard, the correct place to debate or challenge such a Member Country, is at the meetings of the SPS Committee of the WTO.

Updating OIE standards

• issue / problem identified by Delegates, OIE Commission, industry, scientist, individual

new scientific information e.g. from research or disease outbreak

new diseases – emerging

new approach eg vaccination

• addressed by appropriate Commission as new or revised standard

Using working groups and ad hoc groups for specialist tasks e.g. animal welfare, BSE, epidemiology, avian influenza, TB…



• Commission proposal circulated for comments to Members Countries, experts, organisations

Commission may revise proposal on basis of comments received

• Discussed by Delegates at General Session

may be discussed only and returned to Commission for further work may be adopted as OIE international standards

opportunity for all to be involved in standards development


• increasingly, expert advice is outside government and OIE utilises all sources

Individual / expert group from industry / academia / government

other OIE Commission or Reference Lab.

• transitional period for transparency

NGOs with OIE agreement are consulted as per Member Countries e.g. IDF

experts may participate in meetings

Commission reports on OIE website

Opportunities for Member Countries to influence international standard setting

Member countries are thus primarily responsible for setting and the adoption of international standards and should therefore always attempt to actively participate in

the standard setting process

Request for revised standards or review of standards can also be done at SPS Committee of WTO

gideonb

It is thus essential that delegates prepare themselves well in advance of the General Session of the OIE to actively participate in the debate and challenge the possible negative implications to trade of a proposed standard. Alternative solutions to assist the Specalist Commissions should be tabled other than just condemning a proposed standard.

Applicable to Veterinary Services in all regions OIE definition of V.S. comprises public and private sector

veterinarians and vet para-professionals Nota bene: As the veterinary statutory body is not a part of the Veterinary

Services, an evaluation of that body should be carried out to ensure that the registration/licensing of veterinarians and authorisation of veterinary para-professionals is included.

PVS Gap Analysis mission

‣ A PVS Gap Analysis mission facilitates the definition of country’s Veterinary Services’ objectives in terms of compliance with OIE quality standards, suitably adapted to national constraints and priorities.

‣ The country PVS Gap Analysis report includes an indicative operational budget for 5 years and an exceptional budget (necessary investments) when relevant.

78

PVS Gap Analysis

‣ To determine and confirm country priorities (country involvement)

‣ To identify specific activities, tasks and resources required to address “gaps” identified through the country PVS evaluation

‣ Estimation of costs (collaboration with Partners and Donors)

‣ Preparation of an estimated budget‣ Support to preparation of investment programmes

79

PVS Gap Analysis mission

‣ In practice, this means:• Defining the expected result (level of

advancement defined in the OIE PVS tool) at the end of the five-year period for the priority critical competencies

• determining the activities to be carried out in order to achieve the expected results

• Determining the human, physical and financial resources required to implement these activities to enable the Veterinary Services to function appropriately.

OIE Guidelines on Veterinary Legislation

98


‣ Veterinary legislation is a key legal basis which enables Veterinary Authorities to carry out their key functions, including surveillance, early detection and control of animal diseases and zoonoses, animal production food safety and certification of animals and animal products for export.

‣ In the face of increasing global trade, climate change and the emergence and reemergence of diseases that can rapidly spread across international borders, the Veterinary Services must be effectively covered by legislation in order to meet the OIE performance criteria of their functions.

99


‣ The OIE is aware that in numerous countries veterinary legislation is outdated and inadequate to address the challenges of today and of the future.

‣ At the request of Members, the OIE has developed guidelines on all the essential elements to be covered in veterinary legislation.

‣ Any Member that has undertaken an OIE PVS Evaluation may request a follow up mission dedicated to advice and assistance in modernizing the national veterinary legislation.

100

OIE Guidelines on Veterinary Legislation

‣ The guidelines will be used to update the legislation where gaps are identified in the course of an OIE PVS Evaluation

http://www.oie.int/eng/oie/organisation/A_Guidelines_Vet%20Leg.pdf

‣ All OIE experts will use the same OIE Veterinary Legislation Manual (under finalisation)

101

OIE Assistance on Veterinary Legislation

‣ Country PVS report available (important condition)

‣ Official country request to the OIE
