8 Objectives To ensure transparency in the global animal disease and zoonosis situation To collect, analyse and disseminate scientific veterinary information To provide expertise and encourage international solidarity in the control of animal diseases Within its mandate under the WTO SPS Agreement, to safeguard world trade by publishing health standards for international trade in animals and animal products To improve the legal framework and resources of national Veterinary Services To provide a better guarantee of the safety of food of animal origin and to promote animal welfare through a science-based approach Comments (with copyright) / Commentaires (soumis au Copyright) :

9 The historical objectives (1)
1. To ensure transparency in the global animal disease and zoonosis situation Comments (with copyright) / Commentaires (soumis au Copyright) : [source : Objective 1 : To ensure transparency in the global animal disease situation “Each Member Country undertakes to report the animal diseases that it detects on its territory. The OIE then disseminates the information to other countries, which can take the necessary preventive action. This information also includes diseases transmissible to humans and intentional introduction of pathogens. Information is sent out immediately or periodically depending on the seriousness of the disease. This objective applies to disease occurrences both naturally occurring and deliberately caused. Dissemination is via the OIE Web site, and the following periodicals: Disease Information, published weekly and the annual compilation World Animal Health.” Objectif 1 : Garantir la transparence de la situation des maladies animales et des zoonoses dans le monde « Chaque Pays Membre s'engage à déclarer les maladies animales qu'il détecte sur son territoire. L'OIE diffuse alors l'information à tous les autres pays afin qu'ils puissent se protéger. Cette information concerne également les maladies transmissibles à l'homme. Elle est diffusée en urgence ou de façon différée selon la gravité de la maladie. Ces objectifs de surveillance et de suivi s'appliquent à la fois aux événements sanitaires naturels ou intentionnels. Les supports de diffusion sont le site Web de l'OIE, le courrier électronique et les périodiques suivants : Informations sanitaires, publiées chaque semaine, et le recueil annuel Santé animale mondiale. »

10 The historical objectives (2)
2. To collect, analyse and disseminate scientific veterinary information Comments (with copyright) / Commentaires (soumis au Copyright) : [source : Objective 2 : To collect, analyse and disseminate veterinary scientific information “The OIE collects and analyses the latest scientific information on animal disease control. This information is then made available to the Member Countries to help them to improve the methods used to control and eradicate these diseases. Guidelines are prepared by the network of 156 OIE Collaborating Centres and Reference Laboratories across the world. Scientific information is also disseminated through various works and periodicals published by the OIE, notably the Scientific and Technical Review (3 issues a year).” Objectif 2 : Collecter, analyser et diffuser l'information scientifique vétérinaire « L'OIE collecte et analyse toutes les nouvelles informations scientifiques relatives à la lutte contre les maladies animales. Il les fournit ensuite aux Pays Membres pour qu'ils améliorent les méthodes qu'ils utilisent pour contrôler et éradiquer ces maladies. Des lignes directrices sont préparées à cet effet par le réseau des 156 Centres Collaborateurs et Laboratoires de Référence de l'OIE présents dans le monde entier. L'information scientifique est aussi diffusée grâce à différents ouvrages et périodiques édités par l'OIE, notamment la Revue scientifique et technique (3 numéros par an). »

3. To provide expertise and encourage international solidarity in the control of animal diseases Comments (with copyright) / Commentaires (soumis au Copyright) : [source : Objective 3 : To provide expertise and encourage international solidarity in the control of animal diseases “The OIE provides technical support to Member Countries requesting assistance with animal disease control and eradication operations, including diseases transmissible to humans. The OIE notably offers expertise to the poorest countries to help them control animal diseases that cause livestock losses, present a risk to public health and threaten other Member Countries. The OIE has a permanent contact to international regional and national financial organizations in order to convince them to invest more and better on the control of animal diseases and zoonosis.” Objectif 3 : Apporter son expertise et stimuler la solidarité internationale pour contrôler les maladies animales « L'OIE appuie techniquement les Pays Membres qui le souhaitent pour soutenir des opérations de contrôle et d'éradication des maladies animales, y compris celles transmissibles à l'homme. L'OIE propose notamment son expertise aux pays les plus pauvres pour les aider à contrôler les maladies animales qui provoquent des pertes dans leur cheptel, peuvent mettre en danger la santé publique et menacent les autres Pays Membres. L'OIE maintient un contact permanent, au niveau régional et national, avec les organismes financiers internationaux afin de les convaincre d'investir plus et mieux dans le contrôle des maladies animales et des zoonoses. »

4. Within its mandate under the WTO SPS Agreement, to safeguard world trade by publishing health standards for international trade in animals and animal products Comments (with copyright) / Commentaires (soumis au Copyright) : [source : Objective 4 : Within its mandate under the WTO SPS Agreement, to safeguard world trade by publishing health standards for international trade in animals and animal products “The OIE develops normative documents relating to rules that Member Countries can use to protect themselves from the introduction of diseases and pathogens, without setting up unjustified sanitary barriers. The main normative works produced by the OIE are: the International Animal Health Code, the Manual of Standards for Diagnostic Tests and Vaccines, the International International Aquatic Animal Health Code and the Diagnostic Manual for Aquatic Animal Diseases. OIE standards are recognised by the World Trade Organization as reference international sanitary rules. They are prepared by elected Specialist Commissions and by Working Groups bringing together internationally renowned scientists, most of whom are experts within the network of 156 Collaborating Centres and Reference Laboratories that also contribute towards the scientific objectives of the OIE. These standards are adopted by the International Committee.” Objectif 4 : Garantir la sécurité du commerce mondial en élaborant des normes sanitaires pour les échanges internationaux des animaux et de leurs produits dans le cadre du mandat confié à l'OIE par l’Accord SPS de l’OMC « L'OIE élabore les documents normatifs relatifs aux règles utilisables par les Pays Membres pour se protéger de l'introduction de maladies et d'agents pathogènes sans pour autant instaurer des barrières sanitaires injustifiées. Les principaux ouvrages normatifs produits par l'OIE sont : Le Code zoosanitaire international, le Manuel des normes pour les tests de diagnostic et les vaccins, le Code sanitaire international pour les animaux aquatiques et le Manuel de diagnostic pour les maladies des animaux aquatiques. Les normes de l'OIE sont reconnues par l'Organisation mondiale du commerce en tant que règles sanitaires internationales de référence. Elles sont élaborées par des Commissions spécialisées élues et des Groupes de travail regroupant les meilleurs scientifiques mondiaux dont la plupart sont des experts issus du réseau de 156 Centres collaborateurs et Laboratoires de référence, qui concourent également aux objectifs scientifiques de l'OIE. Ces normes sont adoptées par le Comité international. »

5. To improve the legal framework and resources of national Veterinary Services Comments (with copyright) / Commentaires (soumis au Copyright) : [source : Objective 5 : To improve the legal framework and resources of national Veterinary Services “The Veterinary Services and laboratories of developing and transition countries are in urgent need of support to provide them with the necessary infrastructure, resources and capacities that will enable their countries to benefit more fully from the WTO Sanitary and Phytosanitary Agreement (SPS Agreement) while at the same time providing greater protection for animal health and public health and reducing the threat for other countries which are free of diseases. The OIE considers the Veterinary Services as a Global Public Good and their bringing into line with international standards (structure, organisation, resources, capacities, role of paraprofessionals) as a public investment priority.” Objectif 5 : Promouvoir le cadre juridique et les ressources des Services Vétérinaires « L'OIE appuie techniquement les Pays Membres qui le souhaitent pour soutenir des opérations de contrôle et d'éradication des maladies animales, y compris celles transmissibles à l'homme. L'OIE propose notamment son expertise aux pays les plus pauvres pour les aider à contrôler les maladies animales qui provoquent des pertes dans leur cheptel, peuvent mettre en danger la santé publique et menacent les autres Pays Membres. L'OIE maintient un contact permanent, au niveau régional et national, avec les organismes financiers internationaux afin de les convaincre d'investir plus et mieux dans le contrôle des maladies animales et des zoonoses. »

14 Objectives New mandates (4)
To provide a better guarantee of the safety of food of animal origin, To promote animal welfare, through a science-based approach Comments (with copyright) / Commentaires (soumis au Copyright) : [source : Objective 6 : To provide a better guarantee of food of animal origin and to promote animal welfare through a science-based approach “The OIE Member Countries have decided to provide a better guarantee of the safety of food of animal origin by creating greater synergy between the activities of the OIE and those of the Codex Alimentarius Commission. The OIE's standard-setting activities in this field focus on eliminating potential hazards existing prior to the slaughter of animals or the primary processing of their products (meat, milk, eggs, etc.) that could be a source of risk for consumers. Since it was created, the OIE has played a key role in its capacity as the sole international reference organisation for animal health, enjoying established international recognition and benefiting from direct collaboration with the Veterinary Services of all its Member Countries. As a mark of the close relationship between animal health and animal welfare, the OIE has become, at the request of its Member Countries, the leading international organisation for animal welfare.” Objectif 6 : Mieux garantir la sécurité sanitaire des aliments et promouvoir le bien-être animal en utilisant une approche scientifique "Les Pays Membres de l'OIE ont décidé de mieux garantir la sécurité sanitaire des aliments d'origine animale en renforçant les synergies entre les activités de l'OIE et celles de la Commission du Codex Alimentarius. Les activités normatives de l'OIE dans ce domaine sont focalisées sur la prévention des dangers existant avant l'abattage des animaux ou la première transformation de leurs produits (viandes, lait, œufs etc.), susceptibles de générer ultérieurement des risques pour les consommateurs. Depuis sa création, l'OIE joue un rôle clé en qualité d'unique organisation de référence internationale dédiée à la santé animale, bénéficiant d'une reconnaissance internationale avérée et d'une collaboration directe avec les Services Vétérinaires de tous les Pays Membres. Du fait de la relation étroite qui existe entre la santé animale et la protection des animaux, l'OIE est devenu, à la demande des ses Pays Membres, l'organisation internationale phare en matière de protection des animaux. »

54 4th OIE Strategic Plan for 2006-2010

55 New priorities of the 4th OIE Strategic Plan
Consolidation of the 3 missions of the previous Strategic Plan to ensure transparency in the global zoosanitary situation to draft health standards on a scientifica basis, namely in relation with WTO to draft guidelines for the prevention, the control and the eradication of animal diseases, including zoonoses; to establish the sanitary status of the Member Countries.

56 New strategic elements
Capacity building: training of Delegates and if possible of their staff, namely of the national focal points (responsible of the relationship with the OIE, of animal health information systems, aquatic animals, wildlife, veterinary drugs, etc.) Using of new mechanisms such as STDF for that purpose strengthening OIE’s influence on global, regional and national policy design, research and governance in animal health and welfare Strengthening OIE’s role in helping OIE Member Countries settle their sanitary disputes.

57 Operational consequences
Capacity building Need to strengthen the Regional Representations Study of a financing mechanism by the Member Countries of each region (complementary to that of financing by the host country) Developing the capacity of the teams, appointing trainees, support to the private sector (in agreements with established rules) Need to formalise relationships between the Regional Representatives and the elected Bureaus of the Regional Commissions.

58 Operational consequences (2)
Scientific influence Need to study and to strengthen the network of OIE Collaborating Centres and Reference Laboratories Developping twinning mechanisms and specific projects to support laboratories Larger involvement in the field of zoonoses.

59 Operational consequences (3)
Influence on the global governance in matters of animal health: Developping OIE’s communication unit Further clarifying the relationships with WTO and FAO by negociating detailed Agreements and alliances leading to negociated operational programmes for specific issues. Carrying out actions aimed at convincing multilateral and bilateral organisations that investments in matters related to animal health and in Veterinary Services represent a genuine national and global priority.

60 Operational consequences (4)
Influence on national Governments Persuading Governments that the function of Delegate to the OIE is of utmost importance Persuading Governments to invest more in the control and prevention of animal diseases, as this represents a rather low-cost insurance as compared to the cost of great crisis. Helping Delegates from developping countries to actively take part in the preparation of standards and in meetings of the SPS and of the Codex.

61 Operational consequences (5)
In terms of budget The cost at constant value of the priorities and new actions of the 4th Strategic Plan is superiour by around 25% to the current budget A combination of compulsory and volontary mechanisms aiming at financing this surplus (including for the OIE Regional Representations) will be proposed by the OIE Director General in May 2006.

62 Conclusion The implementation of the 4th Strategic Plan through the Working Programme of the Director General will enable the OIE to continue to prove that, since 1924, it represents a Puclic Good for the International community and that the cost related to its functioning is insignificant for the member Countries as compared to the services it provides to them.
