Protected zones, and plants which must have passports in protected zones
Plants, etc. which can be carriers of pests relevant to certain protected zones
These additional requirements apply to movements of specified plants into and
within protected zones. Please check other appendices for details of ordinary plant
passports that may be needed for other movements.
Everyone has a responsibility to ensure that the named organisms are not moved
into the protected zones irrespective of whether passports are required. All entries
are for plants intended for planting (excluding fruit and seeds) unless otherwise
specified.
Remember: there may be different plant passporting requirements for other Member
States. The Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Northern Ireland and the Republic of
Ireland, for example, require a plant passport for retail sales of fireblight hosts even
down to the final consumer. Please contact your local PHSI for further details.
