SPS HANDBOOK TRAINING MODULE: CHAPTER 1
Establishing an SPS notification authority and enquiry point
When your country’s notification authority or enquiry point has been established, you should inform the WTO of this. The WTO Secretariat should also be informed if the notification authority or enquiry point is changed. The WTO Secretariat regularly circulates a list of all Members’ notification authorities and enquiry points. This list is updated three or four times a year. The enquiry points are listed in the G/SPS/ENQ/ document series of the WTO, and the notification authorities are listed in the G/SPS/NNA/ series. Box 2 below contains some examples. To be included in this list, it is useful to provide the following information.
- Contact name
- Name of institution
- Postal address / Physical address
- Phone
- Fax
- Internet address
