[4.37 As part of its ongoing reform and upgrading process, the Dominican customs inaugurated and launched the new Customs Laboratory on 19 February 2015. (...)]
This scientific infrastructure will play a vitally important role, inter alia in environmental protection (with respect to ozone, chemical weapons, heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants and pesticides), safeguarding protected animal species, combating drug trafficking and monitoring drug precursors, and is therefore a tool indispensable to the security of our borders. It will also provide a varied range of services for the chemical analysis of metallic and non metallic products, products of animal and plant origin, food preparations and alcoholic beverages; for characterizing a broad range of substances and organic compounds, both volatile and semi volatile; for analysing and measuring various parameters related to hydrocarbons and the identification of adulterating substances in fuels, biological research, molecular biology, microbiology, metals, minerals, electronics and the preparation of samples for analysis, among other things.

The Dominican Republic's agricultural trade policy is shaped by the commitments made under the various trade agreements, and this has constituted a new challenge in recent years as regards trade opening in the framework of the tariff elimination schedules contained in those agreements. Over the period 2007 2014 the Government therefore concentrated on implementing policies and programmes to enhance the sector's productivity and competitiveness, the quality and safety of production and to ensure food security, environmental protection and the well being of the Dominican Republic's rural population.
