Kyrgyzstan: Draft Amendments to Phytosanitary Regulations Notified to WTO
On March 18, 2020, the Kyrgyz Republic notified the World Trade Organization (WTO) of draft amendments to the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) regulations on phytosanitary control at the border and inside the EAEU via G/SPS/N/KGZ/12. The draft measure adds grounds for recognizing phytosanitary certificates as not confirming the necessary phytosanitary condition of imported products and returning incompliant wood packaging materials. The public comment period for the draft will close on May 17, 2020. Interested U.S. parties are encouraged to share their comments and/or concerns with USDA’s enquiry point (us.spsenquirypoint@fas.usda.gov). For potential inclusion in the U.S. official position, please send your comments by May 4, 2020.
