The phytosanitary legislation are basic laws granting legal authority to a national plant protection organization (NPPO) from which phytosanitary regulations may be drafted (ISPM5 Glossary of phytosanitary terms). The establishment of a phytosanitary system therefore presupposes the existence of a set of legal acts (phytosanitary legislation) regulating this activity and other related fields.

The main functions of the phytosanitary legislation are:

  • To tackle the problems posed by pests (local, national or international);
  • To enable countries to protect their agricultural resources and natural environment from the introduction or spread of pests;
  • To make to possible to create, at the national level, the administrative and technical infrastructure necessary for carrying out phytosanitary activities;
  • To define the scale of sanctions and penalties in the event of infringements.
