EPPO report on selected intercepted consignments
The EPPO Secretariat has gathered the intercepted consignment reports for 1999 received since the previous report (EPPO RS 99/164) from the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Estonia, France, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal Spain, 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: In EPPO RS 99/112, several consignments of maize from Hungary were intercepted by Austria because of the presence of Pantoea stewartii pv. stewartii. The Hungarian authorities have informed the EPPO Secretariat that this bacterium has never been observed in Hungary. In addition, maize fields corresponding to the lots in question were found free from this pathogen during inspections made in 1998. Seed samples were collected and tested in the laboratory and were all free from it.

United Kingdom has intercepted 4 consignments of bonsai plants (Ligustrum, Serissa foetida, Serissa;sp.) from China because of the presence of: Helicotylenchus dihystera, Rhizoecus sp., Rhizoecus hibisci; and one consignment of Serissa plants re-exported from the Netherlands infested by Rhizoecus hibisci. In Italy, it has recently been reported (Pellizzari ; Vettorazzo, 1999) that Lopholeucaspis japonica was intercepted in March 1999, at the port of Venezia, on Acer bonsai plants imported from China.
