ERRATUM: Solidago virgaurea is not included in the new Swiss Ordinance on invasive alien plants


Contrarily to what was written in EPPO RS 2011/123, the new Swiss Ordinance on invasive alien plants does not prohibit the handling in the environment of Solidago virgaurea (Asteraceae). This species is native to Europe and only alien Solidago species are the object of the Ordinance.
