EPPO report on selected intercepted consignments
The EPPO Secretariat has gathered the intercepted consignments received from January to May 1996, from the following countries: Austria, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Tunisia; United Kingdom. When a consignment has been re-exported and the country of origin is unknown, the re-exporting country is indicated in brackets.
In addition, the EPPO Secretariat has selected only interceptions made because of the presence of harmful organisms; other interceptions due to prohibited commodities, missing or invalid certificates are not indicated here. It must be pointed out that these data are 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.
