EPPO report on notifications of non-compliance (detection of regulated pests)
The EPPO Secretariat has gathered the notifications of non-compliance (as they are now called by FAO ISPM no. 13) for 2001 received since the previous report (EPPO RS 2001/079) from the following countries: Algeria, Austria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden, 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 (*).
In addition, Hungary has sent its notifications of non-compliance for the whole year 2000, they are shown separately.
The EPPO Secretariat has selected notifications of non-compliance made because of the detection of regulated pests. Other notifications of non-compliance 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 notifications.

1) The NPPO of Slovakia confirmed the absence of F. occidentalis on its territory. The glasshouses from which the consignment originates and the Hibiscus plants grown there were inspected and results were negative. However, the grower had packed the plants into re-used packaging originating from Italy. It is suspected that infested packaging may have been the source of the infestation.
2) This consignment of potatoes (cv. Agria) was intercepted in October 1999 and was thought to originate from Germany. However, in January 2000, it was discovered that these potatoes had been transported by a German company but originated from Belgium. So by that time, no potatoes cv. Agria were left in the firm concerned. On the fields which had grown these potatoes, volunteer plants were tested and all results were negative. In addition: 1,000 tons of cv. Nicola (40 samples) and 300 tons of cv. Bintje (12 samples) have been tested and all results were negative. The farm concerned is under supervision of the NPPO, and potato fields were sampled during the annual survey for ringrot and brown rot. No samples were found positive. The NPPO considers that Belgium is still free from C. michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus.
3) Concerning the situation of Pepino mosaic potexvirus, the NPPO of Belgium stated that a survey has been carried out in the 2 Belgian firms which produce tomato plants for other growers. Tomato samples were tested and all results were negative. However, during quality control, tomato fruits showing suspect symptoms were tested. The virus was found in 5 samples but the origin of these infections could not be traced.
4) Following this interception, the NPPO of Morocco has immediately started to investigate the production sites of the tomato-growing firm concerned. Its whole production area (175 ha of glasshouse tomato, i.e. 1,750,00 tomato plants) was inspected during the growing season, no symptoms were observed on fruits. In addition, leaf samples showing suspect symptoms were tested in the laboratory (ELISA, electronic microscopy), as well as a few fruits collected at the packing unit and showing abnormal colorations. All results were negative. Further biological tests on tobacco are undergoing. Surveys are continuing at other tomato farms located in the same region. The NPPO considers that Pepino mosaic potexvirus is absent in Morocco.
