RENFORCEMENT D'UN GROUPE D'ANALYSE DES RISQUES 
AU SEIN DE L'AUTORITÉ SANITAIRE DE LA COLOMBIE  
 
Déclaration de la Colombie à la réunion tenue 
 
les 11 et 12 octobre 2006  
 
  La communication ci-après, reçue le 12 octobr e 2006, est distribuée à la demande de la 
délégation de la Colombie.  
_______________ 
 
 1. La Colombie a l'honneur d'informer le Comité  des mesures sanitaires et phytosanitaires (SPS) 
de l'état d'avancement de la mise en œuvre de  l'Accord sur l'application des mesures SPS, en 
particulier pour ce qui concerne l'article 5 (" Évaluation des risques et détermination du niveau 
approprié de protection s anitaire ou phytosanitaire ") en tant que fondement de l'adoption de mesures 
SPS.  
2. L'autorité sanitaire de la Colombie a créé, par la Décision n° 2950 du 25 octobre 2001, le 
Groupe de l'analyse des risques et des affaires internationales.   
3. Par la Décision n° 1277 du 15 juin 2004, e lle a réglementé les procédures administratives 
relatives à l'élaboration des analyses de risque c oncernant les organismes nuisibles pour les végétaux 
et les maladies animales. 
4. Concernant l'élaboration des évaluations des risques, la Colombie suit les directives et 
recommandations établies par les organisations internationales compétentes (OIE, CIPV et Codex Alimentarius). 
5. Par le document n° 3375, le C onseil national de la politique éc onomique et sociale (CONPES) 
a défini les engagements et les responsabilités re latives aux évaluations des risques et à leur 
renforcement au sein de l'autorité sanitaire du pays. 
6. Cette année, de nombreux travaux sont en cours, par exemple: 
- des analyses des risques d'introduction dans le pays de parasites et de maladies comme la 
grippe aviaire, le virus du Nil occidental, la Bactrocera dorsalis ; 
- des évaluations des risques liés aux importa tions d'animaux, de végétaux, de leurs 
produits et sous-produits, comme les gerberas d'Inde, les produits de l'aquaculture de 
différents pays, les dromadaires d'Espagne, le sperme et les embryons de France, entre autres;  et G/SPS/GEN/734 
Page 2  
 
  - l'établissement d'une documentation techni que sur différents produits d'exportation, 
comme les melons destinés au Chili et à l'Ar gentine, les fraises destinées au Pérou et à 
l'Argentine, le coton destiné au Pérou, la  viande destinée aux États-Unis, les équidés 
destinés à l'Union européenne, entre autres, et qui permette la réali sation d'une évaluation 
des risques par le pays importateur. 
7. Dans le cadre des mesures de renforcement , la coordination et la communication entre 
l'autorité sanitaire et le point de contact intern ational ont été améliorées.  Ainsi, 640 notifications 
diffusées par l'OMC ont été reçues, analysées et portées à la connaissance des intéressés en 2006.
