EPPO Codes Monthly Newsletter: a new newsletter for EPPO Codes users
The EPPO Secretariat is pleased to announce that a free monthly newsletter summarizing the main changes that are made to the EPPO Codes (i.e. creation of new codes, deactivation of codes that are no longer recommended) is ready to be launched. EPPO Codes are computer codes developed for plants and pests which are important in agriculture and plant protection. This harmonized coding system, originally created by Bayer, aims to facilitate the management of plant and pest names in computerized databases, as well as data exchange between IT systems.
Any interested person can obtain this newsletter by registering via the EPPO Global Database as follows:
- If not already done, create your own free account in the EPPO Global Database (home page, see top right button 'Register')

- Under 'Newsletters': tick the box 'EPPO Codes'
