STATE COUNCIL OF CHINA
CIRCULAR OF THE STATE COUNCIL CONCERNING THE QUARANTINE CONTROL SYSTEM
FOR ANIMAL PRODUCTS LEAVING CHINA FOR TRADE PURPOSE
(Promulgated by the State Council of China on November 15, 1991)
The "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Entry and Exit
Animal and Plant Quarantine" has already adopted at the 22nd Meeting
of the Standing Committee of the Seventh National People's Congress,
and shall enter into force as of April 1, 1992. Article 3 of the Law
stipulates: "The organ in charge of the quarantine of animal products
leaving China for trade purpose shall be designated by the State Council
as it deems appropriate." The State Council maintains that, from a
long-term point of view, it is more appropriate for the
agricultural department to exercise a unified administration over
the quarantine of animal products leaving China for trade purpose, but
this cannot do without a process. The State Council has, therefore,
decided that the quarantine work of animal products leaving China for
trade purpose shall continue to be undertaken by the State's department
of commodity inspection.
