The event benefited from high-level representation from 22 international organisations. The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) was represented by Dr Jean-Philippe Dop, Deputy Director-General for Institutional Affairs and Regional Activities; Dr Karen Bucher, Project Officer, Standards Department; and Mr Rodney De Souza, Head of the Strategic Partnerships and Legal Affairs Unit.

The meeting provided Dr Bucher with the opportunity to give a presentation on the Observatory on the implementation of OIE Standards by Member Countries.

This meeting was also an opportunity to not only highlight cooperation with the OIE on matters relating to the standards observatory, but also to interact with the main international standards organisations.
