Since 1998, the OIE has the mandate from the WTO to officially recognise disease-free areas of countries for trade purposes. The procedure for the official recognition of disease status by the OIE is voluntary and applies currently to six diseases:
African horse sickness | Foot and mouth disease |
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy | Peste des petits ruminants |
Classical swine fever | Rinderpest |
Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia |
