COLEACP - Programme Initiative Pesticides (PIP)
With the accession of Mauritius to the WTO, Mauritius found itself being party and committed to a whole range of agreements, decisions and understandings, including the SPS Agreement. Being a net food importer, we are aware of the fact that SPS measures imposed by our trading partners should not represent disguised trade barriers, should be scientifically based and be established on the basis of an appropriate risk assessment. Regarding our export, we are fully cognizant that the most promising option to maintain and expand our agricultural and food exports is to become able to respond to the exigencies which are emerging in our target markets by providing high quality and safe products. Our main concern at that time was how to ensure that consumers of our country are being supplied with food that is safe to eat while at the same time ensuring that strict health and safety regulations are not being used as an excuse for protecting domestic producers. With the globalisation process trade is expanding and Mauritius is having to address various policy issues such as strengthening out national and regional capacity to conduct risk analysis and increasing our participation in international standards development.
The application of SPS standards is an important dimension in the expansion of world trade in high-value perishable products, to the extent that such standards enable the effective management of risks associated with the spread of plant and animal pests and diseases and the incidence of microbial pathogens or contaminants in food. With globalization, trade is expanding and compliance to the SPS Agreement will definitely help Mauritius in the trade of agricultural commodities, however we also have to address various policy issues such as strengthening out national SPS framework. This is more so given that the country will be facing stringent economic environment following the erosion of our trade preferences in the context our Sugar protocol with the EU. Given this difficult situation, development initiated for compliance with the SPS Agreement would experience considerable impediment in their implementation and therefore any technical assistance would be most welcomed. More so, given that SPS policies will likely become more complex and enforcement more stringent as trade becomes even more liberalized and as consumer safety remains high on the agenda of many countries.
