— brings wealth
but also an
increased risk
of disease
transmission

Globalisation incessantly expands the volume of international trade. It is the force behind the endless opening of new transport routes, including those for agricultural products. With it comes an increased risk of spreading diseases and pests.

The pressing need for harmonisation of sanitary standards is demonstrated by the dramatic consequences of insufficient protection. An example, in 2001 an outbreak of foot and mouth disease in the UK brought economic losses of more than €10m.
