Guinea's institutional framework for sanitary and phytosanitary measures has not changed since its last TPR. It is characterized by a predominance of fragmented regulatory texts that bring various ministries into play without any real coordination. Thus, several ministries, departments and agencies share responsibility for sanitary and phytosanitary controls and environmental protection. These are the Ministry responsible for public health; the Ministries responsible for agriculture and livestock; the Ministry responsible for fishing; the Ministries responsible for trade and industry; and the Ministry responsible for the environment.

In the autonomous Port of Conakry, the control services of the Ministry responsible for the environment are tasked, inter alia, with overseeing compliance with the international conventions which Guinea has ratified. In principle, they control imports and exports of all chemical products and by products that could be injurious to human health or the environment. However, in practice, the services of the Ministry of the Environment are encountering serious difficulties in performing this task since some exporters and importers are evading the controls and not voluntarily taking certificates except in an emergency.
