Plants and plant products

Arrêté du ministre de l'agriculture et de la pêche maritime relatif à l'inspection phytosanitaire des végétaux, produits végétaux et autres objets à l'importation (Order of the Minister of Agriculture and Marine Fisheries concerning the phytosanitary inspection of imported plants, plant products and other items)

Pursuant to the provisions contained in Title II of the Dahir of 20 September 1927 (23 Rabi I 1346) on the sanitary control of plants, the two Orders of the Minister of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform No. 1306-85 of 19 Rabi II 1407 (22 December 1986) on the sanitary control of imported plants and plant products, and No. 467-84 of 15 Joumada II 1404 (19 March 1984) regulating the importation of plants or parts of plants liable to be infested by certain harmful species of animals or plant pests, contain supplementary provisions on import conditions.

In order to remedy this situation and to provide professionals and control officers with a single text, the notified Order establishes a list of quarantine pests of which the introduction and spread must be prohibited in Morocco, and consolidates the different provisions on the control of imported plants and plant products. The two aforementioned Orders will be repealed, as from the entry into force of the notified text.
