EPPO report on selected intercepted consignments
The EPPO Secretariat has gathered the intercepted consignment reports for 1998 received since the previous report (RS 98/077) from the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czechia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Israel, Lithuania, Norway, Romania, Slovenia, Switzerland, United Kingdom. When a consignment has been re-exported and the country of origin is unknown, the re-exporting country is indicated in brackets. When the occurrence of a pest in a given country is not known to the EPPO Secretariat, this is indicated by an asterisk (*).
The EPPO Secretariat has selected interceptions made because of the presence of pests. Other interceptions due to prohibited commodities, missing or invalid certificates are not indicated. It must be pointed out that the report is only partial, as many EPPO countries have not yet sent their interception reports.
Note: The following interceptions were made in 1997, and have not been reported before. There have been several interceptions of weeds which are noted separately.
