Abstract

After the preamble, referring in particular to Ordinance No.75-11 of 27 February 1975 creating the National Plant Protection Institute, to Act No.83-03 of 5 February 1983 relating to the protection of the environment, and to decree No.85-112 of 7 May 1985 providing for the accession of Algeria to the International Plant Protection Convention, the Act sets out, in five titles, the general principles of plant protection, intended to ensure: control of production, imports, exports and transit of plants; organization of plant pest control; control of the use of plant protection products (pesticides). Some of the definitions are partly reproduced from the International Code of Conduct on the Distribution and Use of Insecticides or from the International Plant Protection Convention (plants; harmful organisms; quarantines; pesticides or plan protection products; registration). It is provided for the establishment of a Plant Protection Authority responsible for plant pest control, and a Commission on Plant Protection Products for Agricultural Use, which would advise the Minister whether to grant or refuse registration of pesticides. Regulations under this Act will establish specialized bodies and define their terms of reference. Activities to control harmful organisms include: defining the conditions for compulsory declaration of pests; declaring the infestation of zones or regions of the country by harmful organisns; ordering or prohibiting the use of certain plant protection products; destroying, disinfecting or disinfesting plants;
