#[Status of Effect]=In Force #[Organ of Promulgation]=The State Council #[Date of Promulgation]=19911115 #[Effective Date]=19911115 CIRCULAR OF THE STATE COUNCIL CONCERNING THE QUARANTINE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ANIMAL PRODUCTS LEAVING CHINA FOR TRADE PURPOSE [Note]=(November 15, 1991) Full Text The "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Entry and Exit Animal and Plant Quarantine" has already adopted at the 22nd Meeting of the Standing Committee of the Seventh National People's Congress, and shall enter into force as of April 1, 1992. Article 3 of the Law stipulates: "The organ in charge of the quarantine of animal products leaving China for trade purpose shall be designated by the State Council as it deems appropriate." The State Council maintains that, from a long-term point of view, it is more appropriate for the agricultural department to exercise a unified administration over the quarantine of animal products leaving China for trade purpose, but this cannot do without a process. The State Council has, therefore, decided that the quarantine work of animal products leaving China for trade purpose shall continue to be undertaken by the State's department of commodity inspection.
