Pest risk management for plants for planting in international trade - 2nd meeting

International trade in plants for planting has a high potential for the introduction of regulated pests. Current phytosanitary measures that rely mainly on treatments and inspections are, in some cases, inadequate to mitigate the risks. Harmonized procedures for phytosanitary security of traded plants for planting are necessary to allow increased trade while minimizing phytosanitary risks and unnecessary delays. The expert working group is tasked with drafting a standard that will outline the main criteria for the identification and application of phytosanitary measures for the production and international movement of plants for planting (excluding seeds), while also providing guidance to help identify and categorize the risks.
