OIE Information System
 Promote transparency in
and knowledge of
global animal disease situation
Source of Early Warning Disease reports
Reports from Member Countries
Reports from worldwide network of OIE Reference Labs.
Active search and tracking of unofficial sources, such as
scientific publications and ProMed, and lay publications,
with Member Country verification
Improved Member Country surveillance


Policies
Internal and international resources
The OIE Early
Warning
System
The OIE Global Information System
OIE animal disease notification system
Criteria for inclusion in the OIE list:
 International spread
 Significant spread within naive population
 Zoonotic potential
 Emerging diseases
(new infection resulting from the evolution of an existing pathogen
or parasite resulting in a change of host range, vector, pathogenicity
or strain; or the occurrence of a previously unrecognized infection or
disease.)
Global Early Warning System (GLEWS)
Joint OIE/FAO/WHO initiative
Animal disease and zoonoses tracking
Emergency response
Trends analysis predictions
Capacity building of Veterinary Services for surveillance
and early warning and response (animal sector)
List of priority animal diseases, zoonoses and emerging
diseases
OIE International
Standards
OIE International Standards
Terrestrial Animal Health Code – mammals, birds and bees
Aquatic Animal Health Code – fish, molluscs and crustaceans
Manual of Diagnostic Tests and Vaccines for Terrestrial Animals
Manual of Diagnostic Tests for Aquatic Animals
Why are standards necessary (1)
Safety of international trade of animals and animal
products
Harmonization of legislations and control methods in
countries
Narrow the gap between rich and poor countries
(…)
Why are standards necessary (2)
Surveillance and control of animal diseases
and zoonoses = Intern. Public Good (IPG)
IPG implementation is a duty of governments
International community, international org., donors and
NGO influence and support
Public – Private sector contracts
How fast are they changing and
in response to what pressure?
Pressure by exporting countries
to increase trade
Pressure by importing countries
to protect themselves (e.g. Avian influenza)
Ethics and public health protection

4th OIE Strategic Plan for

Procedures adopted
Consultations with Regional and Specialist Commissions
Interim report discussed during the May 2004 General Session
Extraordinary meeting of the OIE Administrative Commission
(Montebello, Canada, November 2004)
Permanent support from an expert : Dr Alan Randell, former Codex
Commission Secretary
Procedures adopted
Elaboration of a new project proposed for adoption by the
Administrative Commission in February 2005, at the OIE
headquarters in Paris
Submission of the project to the Member Countries after
translation into the OIE working languages (French, English,
Spanish)
Discussion and adoption by the OIE International Committee
in May 2005
Subsequent phases
Establishment of a work schedule for the Director General, based
on the agreed Plan
Director General develops a financial plan taking into account
contributions from Member Countries
Proposed by Administrative Commission (February 2006), for
adoption by International Committee (May 2006)
What does a Strategic Plan mean ?
Defines a five year policy having a strong legal basis
but based on consensus
Provides a framework that allows the Director General
to schedule his annual work programmes for 5 years
Allows adjustments, if any, after a period of 3 years
2005/2010 Strategic Plan
Reasserts the relevance of the goals of the former Strategic
Plan and provides for their consolidation
Clarifies the OIE’s objectives and major missions
Ensures a balance between missions to be achieved and
available resources detailed in the work programme of the
Director General
The OIE’s global objective
The OIE was created in 1924 to prevent animal diseases from
spreading all over the world
The 4th Strategic Plan provides a further step and extends the
OIE’s global mandate to “the improvement of animal health all
over the world”
Main consequences coming from this
new mandate
To alleviate poverty
To improve Public Health by controlling/eradicating
zoonoses including food borne diseases
To improve the sanitary safety of international trade in
animals and animal products
To facilitate the access to regional and international markets
for all countries
Main consequences arising from this
new mandate
Promotion of animal welfare through the improvement of animal
health and its sustainability by the development of international
standards
Improvement of National Veterinary Services to adopt and
enforce regulations
Strengthening of the position of the OIE as a leading
international Organisation in the interest of Member Countries
New priorities of the IVth Plan
Consolidation of 3 missions from the former Strategic Plan

To ensure transparency in the global animal disease situation

Elaboration and publication of science based standards,
especially within the WTO-SPS Agreement

Elaboration and publication of guidelines for the prevention,
control and eradication of animal diseases, including
zoonoses. Evaluation of the health status of Member
countries with respect to specific animal diseases
New strategic items
Capacity building: training of OIE Delegates and their collaborators
including focal points designated to liaise with the OIE on sanitary
information system, aquatic animals, wild life, veterinary medicinal
products…)
By using new mechanisms such as Standards and Trade
Development Facility (STDF)
Strengthening the OIE’s influence on global, regional and national
governance policies regarding animal health and scientific research
Strengthening the position of the OIE as an advisor of Member
Countries to settle sanitary disputes
Practical consequences
Reinforcement of OIE capacities:

Necessity to strengthen Regional Representations

Defining a financing mechanism by the Member Countries
of each region (in addition to the financing programme of
the host country)

Staff reinforcement, development of internship, support from
the private sector (within the framework of existing rules)

Necessity to formalise relations between Regional
Representatives and elected Bureaus of the Regional
Commissions
Practical consequences
Scientific influence:

Necessity to reinforce the OIE Network of Collaborating
Centers and Reference Laboratories

Development of twinning procedures and other specific
projects for laboratories support particularly in developing
countries

More involvement of the OIE in zoonotic diseases
Practical consequences
Influence on global governance of animal health

Develop further the OIE’s communication department

Clarify further the relationship with WHO and FAO, by
negotiating detailed Agreements and alliances for operational
and specific programmes

Pursue lobbying with multi and bi-lateral Organisations in order
to persuade them that investing in animal health and Veterinary
Services is a major national and global priority
Practical consequences
Influence on national policies

Convince Governments of the importance of the OIE Delegate

Convince Governments that further investment in monitoring and
preventing animal diseases represents a low cost insurance
compared to high costs involved in combating animal diseases

Support Delegates from developing countries to participate in
standards-setting process and attending SPS and Codex
meetings
Practical consequences
As regards finance:

The cost (at constant rate currency) of the new priorities and
measures of the 4th Strategic Plan is 25 % higher than the
current budget

In May 2006, the Director General will propose new
financing procedures (also for Regional Representations),
including both compulsory and voluntary contributions, to
finance the increase in the budget
Conclusion
The implementation of the 4th Strategic Plan through
Director General’s programme of work will continue to
prove that, since 1924, OIE is of a “Public Good” for the
international Community and that the contribution of
Member Countries is negligible compared to the services
provided in return
