Article 9 of the Resolution has also been supplemented by a specification of the type of quarantine to be undergone by the in vitro materials from countries free from the indicated pests, as well as by those in vitro materials that are hosts of Candidatus Liberibacter africanus, Ca. Liberibacter americanus, Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus (Huanglongbing), Erwinia amylovora and Xylella fastidiosa, based on point 10 of the Considerando section. Moreover, the quarantine requirement for the horticultural species Brassica oleracea var. botrytis and Solanum tuberosum has been updated.
