COMMUNICATION OF NON-COMPLIANCE
NOTIFICATIONS (NCN)
BY ELECTRONIC MEANS
COMMUNICATION FROM ARGENTINA
The following communication, received on 9
July 2024, is being circulated at the request of the delegation of Argentina.
_______________
1. The
Argentine Republic wishes to report that the National Plant Protection
Directorate (DNPV) of the National Agriculture and Food Quality and Health
Service (SENASA) has, through its national phytosanitary import regulatory
system, begun communicating non-compliance notifications (NCN) electronically
to countries that export regulated items of plant origin to the Argentine
Republic.
2. In
accordance with the guidelines of International Standard for Phytosanitary
Measures (ISPM) No. 13 of the IPPC, notifications are provided by the importing
country to the exporting country to identify significant failures of
consignments to comply with specified phytosanitary import requirements or to
report emergency action that is taken on the detection of a pest posing a
potential threat, as well as to identify other significant instances of
non-compliance (ISPM No. 13, sections 4.1 and 4.2).
3. Through
this system, NCNs are sent electronically, in real time, to countries exporting
to Argentina, providing in a timely manner the information that is needed for the
national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) of exporting countries to
investigate the causes of non-compliance and take the corrective measures
required to prevent further interceptions, thus helping to facilitate
international trade.
4. Since
26 June 2024, the NCNs of the NPPO of Argentina have been generated through the
above‑mentioned system and sent by email to the official contact point indicated
by each exporting country NPPO on the IPPC website (https://www.ippc.int/en/countries/all/list-countries/).
5. Any
requests or enquiries in this regard may be addressed to the NPPO of Argentina using
the following email addresses: dnpv@senasa.gob.ar
and nnc_impo@senasa.gob.ar.
