在入境口岸实施检疫是进境动植物检疫工作的基本要求

动植物检疫是防控外来有害生物最经济有效的措施。不论是国境还是关境,进境动植物检疫所指的口岸都应当是指进入该国家或该地区的第一个领土接触点所在的口岸。不论是动植物检疫的国际准则,还是世界主要贸易国家,以及我国的动植物检疫法,都明确规定了进境动植物检疫工作应当在入境口岸实施检疫这一基本要求。当前我国一些口岸的动植物检疫改革措施突破了这一基本要求,有可能造成外来有害生物传入的风险并对动植检工作本身造成不利影响。从动植物检疫的历史起源、科学基础、预防属性以及职能等方面看,在对进境动植物检疫采取改革措施时,都应注意坚持在入境口岸实施检疫这一基本要求。为落实好这一基本要求,笔者建议应当增强依法施检的意识,树立正确的创新观,不断提高口岸检疫把关能力,完善风险评估和分类管理,以及进一步加强检疫及监管工作。
