Seeds, plants and fruits of Solanum lycopersicum L. and Capsicum spp.
Seeds, plants and fruits of Capsicum spp. varieties which are known to be resistant to Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV) are excluded from the measure.

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1191 of 11 August 2020 establishing measures to prevent the introduction into and the spread within the Union of Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) and repealing Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1615. Language(s): English, French, Spanish. Number of pages: 8

This Implementing Regulation updates the measures to prevent the introduction into and the spread within the Union of Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV). After the adoption of Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1615, more recent scientific information has been collected on the spread of the specified pest and on testing methods, which justifies the need for more detailed measures than those provided for under Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1615. In particular, seeds of Solanum lycopersicum L. and Capsicum spp. should be tested regardless of their origin. This is necessary because of the uncertainties surrounding the presence of the pest worldwide.
