This report presents the findings of a desk study into the use of authorization by national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) to perform phytosanitary actions. The study includes a review of the existing legislative framework relating to authorization and of implementation resources developed under the auspices of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) Secretariat that provide guidance to NPPOs on the authorization of entities. A selection of examples of authorization programmes are provided, illustrating some of the approaches taken by countries to address potential implementation issues.

Our understanding of life on Earth is limited. Best estimates suggest that a majority of Australian and New Zealand species remain undiscovered, unnamed and undocumented. Taxonomy and biosystematics-the disciplines of biology that study, document, name and characterise biodiversity-provide the framework for this much-needed understanding of life on our planet.This decadal plan seeks to use new and emerging technologies, develop key infrastructure, and create a unified and dynamic science that will serve the needs of society, government, industry and our unique biodiversity.
