EPPO report on selected intercepted consignments


The EPPO Secretariat has gathered the intercepted consignment reports for 1999 received since the previous report (EPPO RS 99/183) from the following countries: Austria, Cyprus, Czechia, France, Finland, Germany, Greece, Guernsey, Ireland, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal Switzerland, Slovenia, 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.

  • Bonsais

12 consignments of bonsai plants (Buxus, Ficus, Ilex crenata, Pinus pentaphylla, Serissa, Zelkova, Zelkova serrata) from China (9) Japan (2) and Taiwan (1) were intercepted by Netherlands (8) and United Kingdom (4) because of the presence of the following pests: Cinara, Helicotylenchus dihystera, Rhizoecus hibisci, Stegophora ulmea, Xiphinema americanum

1 This is a correction to an interception appearing in EPPO RS 99/146, which mentioned Cyprus as the country of origin. Further investigations showed that the origin was in fact unknown. Leptinotarsa decemlineata does not occur in Cyprus.
