| Citrus
canker in Australia – implications for citrus importers |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Plant Health
Service has become aware that Citrus canker (Xanthomonas axonopodis
pv. citri) has been found in Queensland, Australia. Information
on the Australian Government’s Department of Food and Forestry
web site shows
that the authorities are taking action to prevent infected fruit
leaving Australia for the European Union and so the Plant
Health Service will not be changing its procedures in respect of
any imports of citrus fruit from Australia unless required
to do so by changes in EC legislation. The Australian authorities
will now need to state the fruit’s area of origin on the Phytosanitary
certificate. We expect that the issue will be discussed in the Standing Committee on Plant Health when this next meets in September, as it would seem appropriate to discuss an amendment to Commission decision 98/83/EC which recognises those countries and areas which are free from this and two other citrus diseases. Whilst citrus canker poses no threat to the UK, if introduced it could affect citrus production in the southern member states of the EU. 27 July 04 |
