International Plant Protection Convention
| Date: | 1951 and as amended and revised |
| Description: | "The purpose of the IPPC is to secure common and effective action to prevent the spread and introduction of pests of plants and plant products and to promote measures for their control. The Convention provides a framework and forum for international cooperation, harmonization and technical exchange in collaboration with regional and national plant protection organizations (RPPOs and NPPOs). The IPPC plays a vital role in trade as it is the organization recognized by the World Trade Organization in the Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (the WTO-SPS Agreement) as the source for international standards for the phytosanitary measures (ISPMs)affecting trade."
