Thanks for sharing that, Alex. It appears that four months later, with independent OIE experts, the OIE conducted an audit of the Atlantic Veterinary College. Here is part of the OIE news release (Nov 27, 2012):
“Conclusions of the audit were unfavourable and showed that a series of weaknesses in the system have a direct impact on the quality of diagnoses conducted by the OIE Reference Laboratory at AVC.
Following OIE’s standard procedure, the conclusions of the audit will be reported to OIE elected governing bodies: the Aquatic Animal Commission and the Council, and finally the World Assembly of Delegates in May 2013. OIE will take no official action before this final decision.”
Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this and see what these weaknesses were. Reliable, defensible results should be important to everyone involved. http://www.oie.int/for-the-media/press-releases/detail/article/information-on-oie-reference-laboratories/
