    • Article 5.1 expressly refers to risk assessment techniques developed by "relevant international organizations". These are stated in Annex A of the SPS Agreement as including the Codex Alimentarius Commission, the OIE and the IPPC. The close relationship between the SPS Agreement and these bodies is also provided in Article 3.2. This provision states that measures complying with relevant international standards are deemed to be necessary to protect human, animal or plant life or health, and presumed to be consistent with the relevant provisions of the SPS Agreement and GATT 1994.

    • The current WTO standard of review appears to provide for a more detailed inquiry into the underlying justification of national measures than under the GATT. Writing prior to entry into force of the WTO Agreements, David Wirth noted a parallel between the approach of GATT panels and that of domestic courts in GATT countries which "rarely, if ever, directly scrutinize the fundamental 'correctness' of the conclusions drawn by technical experts from empirical measurements." Rather, such tribunals "tend much more to supervize the processes or methodologies employed by regulatory authorities in reaching scientific conclusions from raw data."

    • The revised draft IRA proposes a requirement that orchard inspections be undertaken in a manner that would provide a 95 percent confidence level of detection of visual symptoms if shown by 1 percent of apple trees. The inspection would be required between 4 to 7 weeks after flowering when conditions for fire blight disease development are likely to be optimal. Detection of any visual symptoms of fire blight would result in the suspension of the orchard for the season.

    • In Australia's case, there would be strong domestic pressure by Australian farmers to await the outcome of a WTO dispute before removing the import ban. New Zealand might therefore need to balance two possible alternatives: the continuing status quo for the period of a WTO dispute versus the indefinite status quo under the current Australian risk assessment process.
