Répertoire de ressources COVID-19

This document provides updates on the TFA implementation support activities that are being carried out by the TFAF and our partner organizations during this pandemic.

This website describes how the IPPC Community can exchange phytosanitary certificates electronically. Although not specifically related to COVID-19 there have been a number of examples of how the increased use of IPPC ePhyto Solution has facilitated trade during the COVID-19 situation.  For example, electronic exchange reduces the need to have human interactions,  thus reducing the risk of transmission of the virus by decreasing the number of times documents need to change hands.  

This webpage provides some key messages and guidance to the IPPC Community for Mitigating Impacts of COVID-19. Messages from the IPPC Secretariat as well as a few messages from some NPPOs are also posted here. 

This page provides information on Importation and Customs clearance procedures for countries affected by the COVID-19 pandemic as well as useful resources from the IMPACCT WG partners such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Customs Organization (WCO), among others. 

Regions: Africa, America, Asia, Europe, MENA, Oceania

To support the implementation of such measures, IRU has issued guidelines on deconfinement and social distancing for collective passenger transport.

The International Labour Organisation (ILO)’s sectoral brief published this week supports IRU’s COVID-19 recovery recommendations, and acknowledges the road transport sector as a key driver of global economic recovery. 

While the pandemic has shed light on the indispensable nature of commercial road transport operators, it has also brought into sharper focus some of the industry’s key trade facilitation tools and their contribution to global economic recovery.
