EPPO report on selected intercepted consignments
The EPPO Secretariat has gathered the intercepted consignments received since the publication of the previous report in June 1996 (EPPO RS 96/122), from the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Malta, Poland, Portugal, 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, 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 here. It must be pointed out that the report is only partial, as many EPPO countries have not yet sent their interceptions for 1996; therefore no statistics can be made out of this! EPPO will continue to publish yearly reports containing all intercepted consignments received at the headquarters of the Organization.
