The main issues discussed at the meeting included:

• Update on the various plants market access issues;
• Discussions about the further developments for e-cert, including the international exchange of phytosanitary certificates;
• An extension of the Asia MRL (Maximum Residue Limits) project which collects information on MRL-setting and residue enforcement practices in developing markets in Asia to cover India;
• Acceptance of the project plan for work aimed at developing protocols with key markets to be used to maintain market access should fruit fly arrive in New Zealand. 

PMAC is a partnership between industry and government (primarily MPI and MFAT) focused on increasing economic returns to New Zealand though sustainable and profitable market access for plant products.
