Unrooted Vitis spp. cuttings

Establece requisitos fitosanitarios de importación para estacas sin enraizar de Vitis spp. procedentes de los países miembros de la Unión Europea y modifica la Resolución N° 7.243 de 2012 (Phytosanitary import requirements for unrooted Vitis spp. cuttings from European Union member States and amendment to Resolution No. 7.243 of 2012) Language(s): Spanish Number of pages: 5

Following the pest risk analysis (PRA) carried out for unrooted Vitis spp. cuttings from European Union member States, new quarantine pests associated with this pathway have been identified. As a result, it has been deemed necessary by SAG to update the phytosanitary import requirements and lay down phytosanitary measures to reduce the risk of these pests entering the country.

The additional declarations provided for in the operative part of the draft regulation are practical to apply and are also consistent with both the biological characteristics of the regulated pests and the risk associated with the pathway for each type of pest. Furthermore, SAG has assessed and accepted, as an alternative to immersion treatment against insects and mites for Vitis spp. cuttings, the application of a specific phosphine-based (PH3) treatment proposed by France's national plant protection organization for use on unrooted Vitis spp. cuttings from European Union member States.
