Prolongation of the requirements put in place in relation to Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith)

The requirements of the proposal notified in G/SPS/N/EU/643 (13 June 2023) are now extended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2408 of 1 December 2025 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1134 on measures to prevent the introduction into, establishment and spread within the Union territory of Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith) with regard to the period of application of certain provisions.

Given the spread of Spodoptera frugiperda, its findings in the Union territory and the cases of non-compliance with Union legislation in the trade with certain plants, the existing measures are prolonged to protect the Union from that pest.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. The import and internal movement requirements will apply until 31 December 2028.
