Vietnam has come up with a national action plan to accelerate implementation of its commitments to the World Trade Organization’s Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures Agreement (SPS).

Under the plan signed by Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung on Monday, systemic supervision will assess the risk of cooking contamination and food-transmitted epidemics.

The country will also develop a national program on forecasting insect attacks and epidemics on animals and plants, and take appropriate preventive measures to help minimize production losses.

Due attention will be paid to postharvest handling of vegetables and fruits before exporting them, in accord with standards set in the SPS agreement.

Vietnam became a WTO member on January 11, 2007.
