OIE at a glanceOIE at a glance World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) an intergovernmental organisation founded in 1924
– by 28 countries
– predates the UN 169 Member Countries (including Fiji, 2007) headquarters in Paris
– 5 Regional Representations in the world
– RR for Asia and the Pacific, in Tokyo, Japan and its Branch Office in Bangkok, Thailand)
Objectives of OIEObjectives of OIE
1. To ensure transparency in the global animal disease situation.
2 . To collect, analyse and disseminate scientific veterinary information.
3. To contribute expertise and encourage international solidarity in the control of animal diseases.
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.
5. To improve the legal framework and resources of National Veterinary Services.
6. To provide a better guarantee of the safety of food of animal origin and to promote animal welfare through a science-based approach

Lessons learnt and Needs for Preparedness and
Appropriate Responses
1.Recognition of Nature of Increasing Emerging diseases/TADs –borderless
2. Strengthening Veterinary Services for effective and challenging measures to control Emerging diseases/TADs at Source
3. Transparent and timely notification of animal disease occurrences and animal health information by a country– for country itself (disease control and credibility) and for neighboring and trade partners (preparedness)
4. Strengthening relationship between trading partners
5. Strengthen linkages and collaboration between animal health and public health authorities (zoonoses, to reduce health risks in humans and animals)
6.Enhance National and Regional/International collaboration for capacity building of Veterinary Services in *diagnosis and surveillance for rapid detection, *setting-up epidemiological networks for detecting, *developing early warning systems *organizing control measures for the effectiveness of domestic programmes (Early response)
7. Strengthen animal health infrastructure; e.g. Laboratories, Technologies, Communication links with stakeholders, etc.

Roles of Veterinary ServicesRoles of Veterinary Services
Veterinary Services considered as global public good A lot of important mission on animal health including Zoo
noses Necessity to bring VSs into line with International Standar
ds (in terms of legislation, structure, organisation, resources, capacities, the role of the private sector and paraprofessionals, etc.)
Evaluation of Veterinary Services; on-going; with the Performance, Vision and Strategy (PVS) tool aimed at facilitating the process of evaluating national Veterinary Services
Regionalization/Zoning
Background of ZoningBackground of Zoning
• Difficulty to establish/maintain a disease free status for an Entire Country (esp. national boundaries)
• Sub-population with a different animal health status, being separated
• Benefits to MCs• Trading partners; (a) recognize such the sub-population, (b) establish parameters and (c) gain agreement on the sanitary measures
before disease outbreaks (An importing country; to be satisfied with animal health status in an exporting country)
Responsibility of Veterinary Authority;• Clearly define the sub-population and explain
(certify) animal health status for the zone, to an importing county, and disease control within the country
Regionalization/ZoningRegionalization/Zoning
Regionalization = Zoning under the OIE Code definition
Zone/region – means a clearly defined part of a country containin
g an animal subpopulation with a distinct health status with respect to a specific disease for which required surveillance, control and biosecurity measures have been applied for the purpose of international trade.
Zoning proceduresZoning procedures
Procedures implemented by a country to define animal sub-population of distinct health status within its territory (e.g. surveillance & monitoring)
The extent of a zone, to be established - Using, (natural, artificial or legal boundaries) + (spatial consideration & good management practice) - Made public, Veterinary authority to document on the epidemiology, environme
ntal factors and applicable biosecurity
Zoning procedures (cont’d)Zoning procedures (cont’d)
1. Importing countries to determine whether it may accept such an area as a zone;
taking into account, an evaluation of the exporting country’s Veterinary Services
the result of risk assessment, and its own animal health situation
2. A format Agreement defining the zone by the importing and exporting countries
Partnership for ZoningPartnership for Zoning
A partnership between ①government (Veterinary Authority) <to ensure implementation of the correct biosecurity practices> and ②relevant enterprise/industry <for management of the compartment in a biosecure manner>
Disease Free ZonesDisease Free Zones
Free zone – means a zone in which the absence of the
disease under consideration has been demonstrated by the requirements specified in the Terrestrial Code for free status being met.
Within the zone and at its borders, appropriate official veterinary control is effectively applied for animals and animal products, and their transportation.

NAI status of a zone (country or compartment) can be determined …
*Outcome of a Risk assessment identifying potential factors for Notifiable Avian Influenza (NAI) occurrence and their historical perspective
*Notifiable in the whole country, On-going NAI awareness in place,
*All suspected cases subjected to field and laboratory investigations
*Appropriate surveillance in place to demonstrate the presence of infection in the absence of clinical signs in poutry

OIE Official “Disease Free Status”OIE Official “Disease Free Status”Introduction and procedures
OIE compiling a list of MCs or Zones that are officially recognized as being free from certain diseases.
A clear defined and impartial procedures necessary for declaring a MCs or their Zones free from a disease.
Well-designed and science-based questionnaires developed.
MC wishing to be declared as a disease free country/zones, to respond to OIE, with fulfilled questionnaires
OIE Scientific Commission for Animal Diseases to review the submitted reports and to submit to the OIE International Committee for adoption
The list available on the OIE web-site
Diseases specified for Free Status Diseases specified for Free Status by OIEby OIE
Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) Rinderpest Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBP
P) Bovine Spongiform Encephalitis (BSE)
Concept of CompartmentConcept of Compartment
CompartmentCompartment; one or more establishments under a common biosecurity management system containing an animal sub-population with a distinct health status, requirements for surveillance, control and biosecurity measures applied for international trade.
SummarySummary1. Increasing cases of TADs/Emerging Diseases
2. Needs of International Standards for Animal Health based on scientifically proven facts (OIE Code, Manual, etc.) and Regional Coordination (GF-TADs as a mechanism)
3. Disease Control measures including Zoning Approach
4. WTO-SPS Agreement
5. Transparent and timely notification of disease occurrences and preparedness
6. Veterinary Services as international public good; Capacity building of and Quality of Veterinary Services; Strengthen relevant infrastructures and sustainable (human and financial) resources, for Early detection and Rapid Response and strict implementation of legislation; -Evaluation of Veterinary Services
