The project has been set up to: clarify Signatory obligations under the GIA Deed for engagement across the end-to-end biosecurity system, develop a single and shared view of the current biosecurity system, including opportunities for engagement. The key output will be a guidance document that captures this information, for use by MPI and Signatories to support ongoing discussions on biosecurity system matters. The purpose of this first JWG meeting was to agree on what a fit-for-purpose document would look like, and what information it would need to contain to be useful.
