Progress made towards the creation of NEPPO
The creation of NEPPO (Near East Plant Protection Organization) was decided five years ago. During the last FAO Regional Conference for the Near East (Damascus, SY, 1998-03-21/25), it was noted that seven countries: Egypt, Jordan (EPPO member country), Malta (EPPO member country), Morocco (EPPO member country), Pakistan, Sudan and Tunisia (EPPO member country) have ratified the Agreement for the establishment of NEPPO. Three more ratifications are needed for the creation of NEPPO.
