  4. APPPC Regional Workshop (9th) for the Review of the Draft ISPM funded by Korea again in 2008: 19 countries(28 July-1 Aug. Anyang) Draft-Revision of ISPM No. 15: The group noted that protection from contaminating pests was required and that future standard could possibly provide guidance on this. In terms of the agency responsible for the mark – Cases in different countries indicated that it could be either producer or treatment provider so it was proposed to change “producer” to “producer/treatment provider” in the draft. It was questioned feasibility of obliterating the mark for remanufactured WPM Many participants felt treatment codes should be left in the mark (HT/MB). “Terminology of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in relation to the Glossary of phytosanitary terms” (proposed supplement to ISPM No. 5) should be as an explanatory document rather than the standard.
