<br/><br/> This study aimed at assessing the degree of compliance of the Egyptian phytosanitary (plant health) organization to the international standards in terms the institutional context; legislative framework, structure and documentation procedures. The assessment contributes to capturing the current situation; identify the gaps in the phytosanitary control system and provide recommendations to overcome these gaps. Identification of gaps can assist in improving the phytosanitary system through improving the relevant organizational behavior.
