SPS TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND TRAINING ACTIVITIES  
1 SEPTEMBER 1994 TO 31 DECEMBER 20 20 
NOTE BY THE SECRETARIAT1 
Revision  
1.  This document provides an update of all the SPS technical assistance (TA) and training activities 
undertaken by the Secretariat from 1 September 1994 to 31 December 2020. Detailed information 
is provided in the annexed table on the TA activities undertaken  by the Secretariat for the last three 
years ( 2018-2020).2 
2.  The main objective of SPS technical assistance and training activities undertaken by the 
WTO Secretariat is to increase participants' awareness about Members' rights and obligations under 
the Agre ement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS Agreement) and 
its implications for national policymaking. The SPS technical assistance activities also provide 
an opportunity to inform participants on the discussions held and latest do cuments considered by 
the SPS Committee. In addition, participants are informed about upcoming SPS workshops and 
technical assistance initiatives available to their countries on SPS matters.  
3.  The programme is adapted to take into account the specific needs identified by the countries, 
the participants' knowledge of the SPS Agreement, the level of development of the countries, and 
any specific concerns relating to the implementation of the SPS Agreement , in order to adequately 
respond to individual requests. SPS technical assistance and training activities typically include 
presentations on the basic provisions of the SPS Agreement, the transparency provisions, 
specific  trade concerns raised at the SPS Committee, the WTO dispute settlement and SPS -related 
cases, and specific issues such as risk analysis, regionalization or equivalence.  
4.  Due to the ongoing COVID -19 pandemic,  the Secretariat review ed the planned technical 
assistance activities on the SPS Agreement scheduled to be delivered in 2020 .3 In this regard, 
the Secretariat organiz ed tailored SPS -related training delivered via videoconference, as in -person 
activities were not possible for most of  the identified period . 
5.  Altogether, 425 SPS training activities have been undertak en by the WTO Secretariat from 
1 September  1994 to 31 December 20 20. In 20 20, 12 SPS training activities were undertaken: 
eight national seminars, one regional workshop and three other activities (including two dedicated 
trainings on the ePing alert system and an APEC Regional Workshop ).4 
 
1 This document has been prepared under the Secretariat's own responsibility and is without prejudice to 
the positions of Members or to their rights and obligations under the WTO.  
2 Detailed information on TA activities from previous years is available from the Secretariat upon request. 
In addition, G/SPS/GEN/521/Rev.7  includes details of TA activities from 1994.  
3 Please see documents G/SPS/GEN/997/Rev.10  of 3 March 2020, G/SPS/GEN/997/Re v.10/Add.1  of 
10 June 2020 , and G/SPS/GEN/997/Rev.10/Add.2  of 20 October 2020. In particular, documents 
G/SPS/GEN/997/Rev.10/Add.1  and G/SPS/GEN/997/Rev.10/Add.2  provide an update on the SPS -specific WTO 
technical assistance activities scheduled for 2020, including in formation on those that were 
postponed/cancelled and those which were delivered via videoconference . 
4 As announced in document G/SPS/GEN/997/Rev.10/Add.1 , the 2020 Advanced SPS Course could not 
be delivered. The Advanced SPS Course includes  a follow -up activi ty which is held back -to-back with the June/July 
SPS Committee meeting of the following year. The follow -up activity to the 2019 Advanced SPS Course , originally 
scheduled to be held face -to-face in June 2020,  was instead  organised through videoconference.  G/SPS/GEN/521/Rev.16

  6.  The annexed table  identifies, for the period 2018-2020, the type of technical assistance activity , 
the region  and venue where it took place, its dates , participating countries , language used , and  
whether representatives from the FAO/W HO Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), the World 
Organi sation for Animal Health (OIE), and the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) 
Secretariat participated in the activity.  
7.  A regional workshop  refers to an activity organized by the WTO in which a region or sub -region 
was invited to participate. A national seminar  refers to a  WTO-organized  activity undertaken at the 
national level only. The " other " category refers to all other SPS TA and trainin g activities that do not 
fall under either of the first two categories. This includes other types of SPS -specific activities 
organized by the WTO Secretariat as well as activities organized by Members or other bodies in  which 
the WTO Secretariat participated. Training sessions on the SPS Agreement also take place within 
other general WTO training courses, such as Trade Policy Courses, Regional Trade Policy Courses, 
Geneva Week s, Introduction Courses and Agriculture Course s for least -developed c ountries; which 
are not included in the list of SPS TA activities in this document.  
8.  The information provided in the Annex below is organized on an annual basis and in alphabetical 
order , based on the region where the activity was und ertaken, with the more recent activities listed 
first. 
9.  SPS TA activities are organized in close collaboration with Members, the three -international  
standard -setting bodies  referenced in the SPS Agreement (Codex, IPPC and OIE), as  well as with 
regional  organizations, when appropriate. Since 1994, the Codex has participated in 119 activities, 
while the IPPC secretariat participated in 103 activities and the OIE in 117 activities.  
10.  To meet the demands for more advanced SPS TA and training activities, a three -week 
Advanced  Course on the SPS Agreement5 has normally been offered each year since 2005.6 
However, this course, originally scheduled to be held from 26 October to 13 November 2020 in 
Geneva, Switzerland, in French, had to be cancelled due to the ongoing COVID -19 pandemic . 
The follow -up activity to the 2019 Advanced SPS Course , which was scheduled to be held  
face-to-face in June 2020 , was organised through videoconference.  
11.  In addition to the above -mentioned SPS TA and training activities, the WTO o ffers an E -Learning 
course on the SPS Agreement. The course is offered each year in all three official languages of the 
WTO: English, Fre nch and Spanish.7 
12.  Since 2010, Members have been informed at the beginning of each year of all SPS -related 
planned tech nical assistance activities , and interested officials are invited to submit applications for 
specific events. In 20 20, this was done  via document s G/SPS/GEN/997/Rev. 10 of 3 March 2020, 
G/SPS/GEN/997/Rev.10/Add.1  of 10 June 2020 and G/SPS/GEN/997/Rev.10/Add.2  of 20 October 
2020. Approximately 90 applications were received for the SPS Regional SPS Workshop for 
Latin America, with a focus on transparency and the role of National  Notification Authorities, 
co-organized with the Inter -American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture.  Candidates were 
required to have successfully completed the WTO E -Learning course on the SPS Agreement at 
the time of their application. All applicant s were requested to provide information that indicated how 
their professional responsibilities were related to the SPS Agreement, and the endorsement of 
Members' permanent representations to the WTO was sought before the final selection of 
participants. Th e Secretariat endeavoured to ensure that the selected participants represented 
a balance of officials with responsibilities in their national administrations' food safety, animal health 
or plant protection areas, as well as SPS enquiry points and national notification authorities, and 
 
5 This Advanced SPS Course provides in -depth and "hands -on" SPS training. During the course, 
participants must elaborate an action plan to address identified SPS needs in their countries. The 
implementation of the action plans is monitored after the course, and participants are invited to return to 
Geneva about eight months after the end of the course to present the achievements reached through their 
action plans.  
6 See Chart 7 for a breakdown of participants who ha ve attended the Advanced SPS Course by region.  
7 In addition to the existing e -Learning Course on the SPS Agreement (available in French and in 
Spanish), the WTO e -Learning platform offers a set of four new interactive courses on the SPS Agreement in 
English entitled: SPS Course Series 1 - Overview of the SPS Agreement and Committee; SPS Course Series 2 - 
The SPS Agreement and Science; SPS Course Series 3 - Trade Facilitating Operational Provisions of the SPS 
Agreement; SPS Course Series 4 - Implementation,  Administration and Enforcement. Please see document 
G/SPS/GEN/997/Rev.11  of 4 March 2021.  G/SPS/GEN/521/Rev.16

  other officials responsible for the coordination of WTO trade issues and SPS matters within their 
governments.  
13.  The Secretariat considers that this more "demand -driven" approach, based on applications from 
interested officials,  together with the pre -requisite of completion of the SPS E -Learning course, 
has resulted in a more homogeneous and higher level of background knowledge by participants, and 
permitted the delivery of more advanced and effective training activities since 20 10. The Secretariat 
will again organize its 2021 training activities in this manner, as indicated in document 
G/SPS/GEN/997/Rev. 11. In addition, t he activities planned for 2021 are currently scheduled to be 
delivered through videoconference or virtual platforms.
