86TH OIE GENERAL SESSION

INFORMATION

The 86th General Session of the World Assembly of National Delegates of the OIE will be held from 20 to 25 May 2018, bringing together representatives of 181 OIE Members and observers from international organisations that have signed an official agreement with the OIE, as well as other international and regional organisations and invited guests.

The General Session will be held at the “Maison de la Chimie”1 from Sunday 20 May 2018 to Thursday 24 May 2018 included, and at the OIE Headquarters2 on Friday 25 May 2018 (Friday’s session is exclusively for the OIE Delegates, as it concerns administrative and financial matters).

The World Assembly of OIE Delegates will examine, with a view to adopting, a number of new intergovernmental standards covering animal disease control methods, including those for controlling diseases transmissible to humans, the safety of international trade in animals and animal products, as well as animal welfare. The progress of the implementation of the 6th Strategic Plan (2016-2020) will also be presented.

During the General Session, the following technical item will be presented: “Implementation of OIE Standards by OIE Member Countries – state of play and specific Capacity-building needs.”  

The opening session of the World Assembly of OIE Delegates is always a special event owing to the presence of important personalities from around the world. In addition to the President of the World Assembly of OIE Delegates and the Director General of OIE, addresses will be made in particular by high level authorities of several OIE Members.

About the 86th OIE General Session

Nearly 800 participants are expected to attend this annual meeting, bringing together all the Member Countries, as well as the international and regional partners of the OIE.

During this event, new International Standards for animal health and welfare will be adopted, and the current global landscape of animal diseases, including zoonosis, will be analysed.

In particular, the following topics will be addressed this year:

  • The state of play of the implementation of OIE International Standards by OIE Member Countries and the Observatory the OIE is building on this topic;
  • Launch of an educational game focusing on the necessary vigilance needed to keep our world free from rinderpest;
