EPPO report on selected intercepted consignments
The EPPO Secretariat has assembled the intercepted consignments received from January until July 1995, from the following countries: Austria, Cyprus, Denmark, Germany, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Netherlands, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, United Kingdom. From these, the EPPO Secretariat has selected interceptions made because of the presence of harmful organisms, other interceptions due to prohibited commodities, missing or invalid certificates are not being indicated here. It must be pointed out that this data is only partial, as many EPPO countries have not yet sent their interceptions for 1995; therefore no statistics can be made out of this ! From now on, the EPPO Secretariat will try to publish these reports on intercepted consignments on a more regular basis (every two to three months), and all EPPO member countries are kindly requested to send us their interceptions as regularly as possible. Nevertheless, EPPO will continue to publish yearly reports containing all intercepted consignments received at the headquarters of the Organization.
Intercepted consignments are presented here according to the pest found (classified by alphabetical order). The name of the consignment, country of origin, country of destination and number of consignments intercepted are given. For commodity reasons, we have presented separately, interceptions of fruit flies, interceptions of wood and wood products, and interceptions of bonsai plants.
