Conteúdo: | A proposal was made to the Brazilian PLant Protection Authority, to address the risk of introduction of quarantine pests. After the creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1994, and the increasing liberalization of the consequent international trade, the diversification of trade partners and the continuous escalating amount of agricultural products traded proportionally increased the risk of a quarantine pest entering a formerly free area, despite the official quarantine barriers and inspection procedures to protect the country entry points. Besides the enhancement of these sustems, and the set up of a comprehensive surveillance system aiming to early detection of newly introduced pests, the need for strategic plants was considered. The program was denominated by quarantine intelligence and comprised the propecting of the pest hazards and risk analysis from the standpoin of the likelihood of its introduction and  establishment in the country, and the damages the pest could cause to the affected crops. Once it was decided which pests constituted the highest risk of introdution for the next five years, and for the most important Brazilian crops, an official officer was assigned to be the "repository" of all necessary information for a give number of quarantine pests. All important literatureshould be reviewed, the conditions of the pest on the origin and other affected area should be assessed and the set of possible control measures established. Recommendations for the quarantine, inpection and surveillance systems should be issued, with special attention for the detection of the considered pests. Contingency plants should be developed to form a quarantine emergency ready-to-use procedures, including all technical, legislative and regulatory ones. The Authority budget must allocate every year a reasonable provision of funds to be used just in case a new pest is to be detectd. Plans and information should be continuosly updated in order to be easily put into action when necessary.
