AZERBAIJAN. Government agencies in Azerbaijan faced numerous challenges to detect and diagnose plant quarantine pests and to promote plant health security of both imports and exports. An STDF project that ended in 2018 helped to simplify procedures for phytosanitary inspections at border points, with customs officials trained alongside plant health inspectors in how to carry out controls effectively. In parallel, the project strengthened pest diagnostic services and improved pre-border inspection and export certification. The project created the technical expertise needed for phytosanitary import and export controls and helped to build stronger inter-agency dialogue and cooperation. It also rolled out a computerized system for import permits to regulate the entry of plants and plant products, supporting the move towards electronic certificates. xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/PG-316 A scientist conducts insect pest diagnostics. Global Project – ePhyto Solution Since the late 1970s, exporting countries have relied on paper phytosanitary certificates to provide assurances that the plant or plant product being exported meets the phytosanitary requirements of the importing country. An STDF project that ended in 2020 helped develop a central server (referred to as the “Hub”, see below) to facilitate the exchange of electronic phytosanitary certificates (ePhytos) between countries. The project also developed the Generic ePhyto National System (GeNS), which is a simple web application for the production, submission and receipt of ePhytos. GeNS provides a cost-effective system for countries with limited capacities. Around 60 countries currently exchange ePhytos through the hub, including LLDCs such as Nepal, Paraguay, Uganda and Uzbekistan. Uganda is also one of the 12 countries currently using the GeNS system. Early research shows how moving towards digital procedures can help to increase exports of agri-food products and ease trade bottlenecks. ePhyto in XML ePhyto in XML xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/PG-504 Exporting consignee Exporting NPPO Importing NPPO Importing consignee Source: FAO (2019).

AZERBAIJAN. On October 27, Azerbaijan’s parliament passed leg- islation that amends the country’s social insurance program by gradually increasing the retirement age for a full earnings-related pension. Starting January 2010, the retirement age will increase by 6 months every year until reaching 63 for men and 60 for women. Currently, men retire with a full pension at age 62 and women at age 57. According to the State Social Protection Fund—the government agency respon- sible for the social insurance program—increasing the retirement age is a necessary step in reducing the financial burden of a rapidly aging population. The United Nations projects an increase in the percentage of the population aged 60 or older from 8.9 percent in 2005 to 25.2 percent in 2050. In addition, the government announced that there will be no statutory indexation of pension benefits in 2010 because of the anticipated negative rate of inflation for 2009. Benefits are adjusted annually 2 ♦ International Update, December 2009 to changes in the consumer price index for the previous year. The pension system in Azerbaijan consists of two components: (1) a notional defined contribution (NDC) social insurance program and (2) a noncontribu- tory social assistance program. The NDC program, which was implemented in 2006, is financed by an employee contribution of 3 percent of gross earnings and an employer contribution of 22 percent of payroll. The social assistance program is funded by general revenues and provides benefits to nonworking men aged 67 or older and women aged 62 or older who are not eligible for the earnings-related pension.
