THE DECLARATION OF THE DELEGATES TO THE PURE BREEDS PROGRAM OF THE XXIII WORLD'S POULTRY CONGRESS 2008 BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA.

We, the undersigned delegates to the XXIII WPC conclude as a result of the studies, discussions and challenges experienced at the Congress that:

A national representative organisation is needed to provide Government and Industry with a single point of contact for negotiation and communication on 2 specific issues.

1/ Representation and communication with the government regarding the reasonable operation of the various biosecurity issues of non commercial domestic poultry.

2/ The obligations of government regarding The Interlaken Declaration on the Global Plan of Action for Animal Genetic Resources.

And to this end we declare that we shall encourage and support the development of such a representative body.
