<p>Recently there has been an increasing interest in determining how National Plant Protection Organizations (NPPOs) could electronically exchange the information currently provided in paper phytosanitary certificates. A harmonized, commonly available, system for the electronic exchange of phytosanitary certificates could increase efficiency by enabling electronically gathered phytosanitary data to be submitted to the importing country electronically, decrease costs associated with printing and shipping paper certificates, increase transparency of certificates etc. Several NPPOs have been already developing different systems for the electronic exchange of phytosanitary certificates. In order to ensure that members have a common understanding and preparedness for Electronic Phytosanitary Certification as well as to discuss some practical aspects of operating of an ePhyto system the APPPC is organizing the workshop “APPPC Workshop on Building Understanding and Preparedness for Electronic Phytosanitary Certification” The workshop participants will discuss common concepts, terms and definitions as well as harmonization of data requirements and transmission protocols and other important issues.</p><p>For the date and venue of the workshop please, visit the <a href="http://www.apppc.org/event/month/2014-10">Calendar</a></p><p>For more information please, contact <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p>
