Membership status for FAO, IPPC, WTO


The present list of countries indicates the membership status for FAO, IPPC and WTO (the previous list was published in EPPO RS 98/056). It can be noted that the following EPPO countries have now accepted the 1997 revised text of the IPPC: Romania, Sweden, Tunisia. This revised text will enter into force when 2/3 of the IPPC contracting parties have accepted it. All EPPO member countries are again invited to accept the revised text of the Convention. In particular, the EPPO member countries (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, former Yugoslav Rep. of Macedonia, Slovakia, Ukraine) which have not yet become contracting parties to the IPPC despite the repeated recommendations of EPPO Council are invited to do so.
