防疫檢疫科技之研發創新與成果評估

Innovation of Research and Development for The Phytosanitary Measures and Their Achievement Assessment

我國加入世界貿易組織後，除依據我國動植物防疫檢疫法令規定外，亦須參考國際動植物防疫檢疫相關組織所訂定之國際規範和標準，以採取必要的防疫檢疫措施。而動植物防疫檢疫工作之執行必須仰賴相關的科技作後盾，包括動植物有害生物的診斷鑑定、風險評估、疫情監測、防治管理、檢疫處理等技術。多年來在各公私立研究機構及大學校院等之研究人員通力合作努力下，除協助農友、獸醫或第1線防疫檢疫人員解決田間疫病蟲害和輸出入檢疫實務之問題外，並提供科學證據，以增修訂動植物防疫檢疫法規，健全動植物防疫檢疫體系，或提供和貿易夥伴國技術諮商談判之用。近年來更配合農委會亟力推動智慧財產權之保護、產學合作及技術移轉等措施，使防疫檢疫科技的創新及研發也有顯著進步，有助於確保農業生產安全，提高動植物及其產品之品質，增加農業產業競爭力，並促進防疫檢疫產業之發展。

Taiwan gained accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2002. The phytosanitary measures are adopted in accordance with Taiwan's relevant laws and regulations, taking into account the international regulations and standards as set by relating international organizations including the WTO. The implementation of the phytosanitary measures relies heavily on the support provided through scientific development which was reviewed and the achievement were assessed and reported. The scientific research and technology development for the protection of animal and plant health included diagnosis and identification of the harmful organisms of animals and plants, risk assessment of the imports and the organisms, surveillance of the harmful organism, control and management of diseases and pests, development of quarantine treatments, etc. In the past years, through the efforts of many researchers from the public and private research institutes and universities, a great deal of research results and technology development have not only been employed to assist farmers, veterinarians, plant protection people and quarantine officials in resolving disease and pest problems in the fields and at the border, but also to provide scientific evidences for the establishment or amendment of the relevant laws and regulations, strengthening of the animal and plant health system and the phytosanitary consultations and negotiations with trading partners. In recent years, attention has also been paid to the protection of intellectual property. Innovation of scientific research and development relating to phytosanitary measures was encouraged and importance of intellectual property right was emphasized.
