1 Introduction Biosecurity Promulgation 2008 is an act that has adopted strategic and integrated approach which prevents the entry of animal and plant pests and diseases into the Fiji Islands, controls their establishment and spread in the Fiji Islands, regulates the movement of animal and plant pests and diseases and of animals and plants and their products, facilitates international cooperation in respect of animal and plant diseases and for related matters. The Act encompasses policy and regulatory frameworks (including instruments and activities) for analysing and managing relevant pest and disease risks to human, animal and plant life and health, and associated risks to the environment. Additionally, aspects of food safety and prevention of zoonosis, the introduction of animal and plant diseases and pests, the safe introduction and release of living modified organisms (LMOs) and their products (e.g. genetically modified organisms or GMOs), and the introduction and management of invasive alien species are also comprehended. Biosecurity Authority of the Fiji Islands The fundamental objective of the Biosecurity Promulgation 2008 is to control pest and diseases by legal and administrative means. In order to avoid adverse effects from such pests and diseases on the economy, environment and health of the Fiji Islands, the Biosecurity Authority of Fiji (BAF) was established under the Biosecurity Promulgation in December Biosecurity Authority of Fiji is mandated to protect Fiji s agricultural sector from the introduction and spread of animal and plant pests and diseases, facilitate access to viable agro-export markets and ensure compliance of Fiji s agro-exports to overseas market requirements. Additionally, manages quarantine controls at borders to minimise the risk of exotic pests and diseases entering the country. It also provides import and export inspection and certification to help retain Fiji s favourable animal, plant and human health status and wide access to overseas export markets. The Biosecurity Promulgation 2008 furthermore, defines biosecurity import and export procedures, defines powers of Biosecurity Officers, empowers the Minister to make Regulations and to declare regulated pests and diseases, provides biosecurity controls on one or more areas of Fiji, defines offences and prescribes penalties for such offences and provides with respect to biosecurity emergencies. This paper elaborates on three sections of the Biosecurity Promulgation 2008 namely the: Part 5 Biosecurity Import Procedures Part 6 Biosecurity Export Procedures Part 7 Biosecurity Quarantine

Biosecurity Import Specifications. According to subsection 1 of section 34, import specification for the incoming regulated article is specified by the Authority. The import specifications may specify (a) Whether a sanitary or phytosanitary certificate from the biosecurity authority in the country of origin is required for an article and if so the matters that must be certified; (b) Whether a biosecurity import permit must be obtained for the article and if so the conditions to be attached to the permit; (c) What biosecurity measures, if any, must be applied to the article on arrival in the Fiji Islands before biosecurity import Clearance can be granted. (2) Specifications under subsection (1) of section 34 (a) May be different for different types and quantities of regulated article; (b) May be by reference to the country or area of origin of the article; (c) Must only be those reasonably necessary to reduce or eliminate the biosecurity risk to the Fiji Islands presented by the article. (3) In determining specifications under subsection (1), the Authority (a) Must make a biosecurity risk assessment; (b) Must have regard to the requirements of the SPS Agreement and other international standards relating to biosecurity matters; (c) Must have regard to the resources available for biosecurity control; (d) May apply the precautionary principle.

Revocation of a biosecurity import permit If there is a change in the biosecurity risk to the Fiji Islands through the article or consignment, the biosecurity import permit can be revoked or vary the condition of the permit by the Authority at any time through the written notice to the holder. The revoked biosecurity import permit refuses the biosecurity import clearance for an article or consignment. Upon revocation of the biosecurity import permit, the holder of the permit must surrender it to a biosecurity officer as soon as practical. Any permit holder under subsection 3 of section 38 contravenes hence, commits an offence.

Part 6 Biosecurity Export Procedures 41. Biosecurity export inspection of outgoing articles Every outgoing regulated article or consignment of regulated articles is liable to biosecurity export inspection at the biosecurity point of departure to enable a biosecurity officer to determine whether it includes an article that requires biosecurity export clearance. It will be considered an offence if an exporter of goods fails to make the goods available for biosecurity export inspection at the biosecurity point of departure at the request of a biosecurity officer. A biosecurity officer may only request to inspect an outgoing article or consignment if the officer has reasonable cause to suspect that it is or includes a regulated article that requires biosecurity export clearance. The article or consignment may be released from the biosecurity point of departure upon payment of any applied fee. 42.

Export specification are only made if required by an international agreement to which the Fiji Islands and the receiving country are party in respect of the movement of animals, plants or animal or plant products, and must conform to any such agreement. An export specification may change in respect of an animal or animal product at any time before biosecurity export clearance is granted or if there is a change in the relevant international obligations relating to the animal or animal product. Before any changes are done to the specification, the Authority seeks advice from the of its technical section heads. Revised specifications are published in the biosecurity register found at the office of the Authority and are made available to the public for inspection or purchase. 45. Application for biosecurity export clearance An application for biosecurity export clearance of an article or consignment must be made to a biosecurity officer in the manner specified or approved by the Authority and be accompanied by any prescribed fee.

Biosecurity export clearance will not be granted if biosecurity measures are not applied to the concerned articles or consignment. If an exporter fails to comply with any of the requirements of section 45, a biosecurity officer may refuse to grant biosecurity export clearance for the article or consignment.
8 46. Grant of biosecurity export clearance Before granting the biosecurity export clearance in respect of an article or consignment, a biosecurity officer will ensure: (a) That the biosecurity certification requirements of the receiving country have been complied with; (b) That any biosecurity measures specified under section 44(1) in respect of an animal or animal products have been applied; (c) That the prescribed fee, if any, has been paid. A biosecurity officer may refuse to grant biosecurity clearance if an outgoing article is found to be infected, infested or contaminated by a regulated pest or disease. The Authority will ensure a decision on an application for biosecurity export clearance is communicated to the applicant as soon as reasonably practicable after the application is received duly completed. The applicant will be notified in writing with brief reasons, if the export clearance is refused. Part 7 Biosecurity Quarantine 47. Biosecurity quarantine of regulated articles A biosecurity officer by notice in writing can order an exporter to direct their incoming regulated article in the biosecurity quarantine if: (a) The article is a prohibited import and must therefore be reconsigned or destroyed; (b) Quarantine is a biosecurity import requirement for the article; or (c) During biosecurity entry inspection or biosecurity import clearance inspection the article is found to be, or is suspected to be, infested, infected or contaminated. A biosecurity officer will direct the importer to remove the article to a specified biosecurity quarantine station, if an article is ordered into biosecurity quarantine. It is considered an offence if the importer refuses to remove an article to the biosecurity quarantine. The cost of removal of an article to biosecurity quarantine and any loss or destruction caused as result of removal will be borne by the importer of the article unless negligence or malice is proved. The importer is given written notice stating the reasons an article is quarantined and the location of the article if removed under subsection (2) (b). 48. Biosecurity quarantine stations Upon advice of the Authority and after consultation with other relevant Ministries, The Minister may designate any public or private land as a biosecurity quarantine station for animals, animal products, plants, plant products, conveyances, containers or other goods for the purposes of this Promulgation. The owner of the land is consulted and agreed compensation is paid before any designating private land is used as a biosecurity quarantine station.

The specification will also determine the period for which different types of regulated articles must remain in a biosecurity quarantine station. The cost of keeping an article in biosecurity quarantine is to be borne by the importer of the article. The Authority will prescribe the fees or charges for keeping article in biosecurity quarantine. 50. Management of biosecurity quarantine stations. The biosecurity quarantine station or any building in the ownership of the station are locked; sealed and movement are restricted by the biosecurity officer inorder to avoid biosecurity potential threats. A biosecurity officer who is acting in the course of the duty or the person in charge of the station may enter the biosecurity quarantine station without the written permission of the Authority. I will be considered an offense if a person enters a biosecurity quarantine station without permission and damages interferes or reduces the effectiveness of measures taken to secure a biosecurity quarantine station or quarantined regulated article. 51. Release from biosecurity quarantine A conveyance, container or article is only released from the biosecurity quarantine after issuing of a biosecurity quarantine release certificate by a biosecurity officer.
