EPPO report on selected intercepted consignments
The EPPO Secretariat has compiled the intercepted consignment reports for 1999 from Croatia and for 2000 received since the previous report (EPPO RS 2000/071) from the following countries: Austria, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, France, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom. When a consignment has been re-exported and the country of origin is unknown, the re-exporting country is indicated in brackets. When the occurrence of a pest in a given country is not known to the EPPO Secretariat, this is indicated by an asterisk (*).
The EPPO Secretariat has selected interceptions made because of the presence of pests. Other interceptions due to prohibited commodities, missing or invalid certificates are not indicated. It must be pointed out that the report is only partial, as many EPPO countries have not yet sent their interception reports.
Note: The EPPO RS 2000/052 mentioned a Dutch interception of Mangifera indica fruits infested by Bactrocera dorsalis from Brazil. ;It has since been specified that only larvae were found, which can only be described as Bactrocera sp. of the dorsalis complex. The Brazilian NPPO has stressed that B. dorsalis (in the strict sense) does not occur in Brazil. It may be noted that the related B. carambolae has been introduced into a limited area in the north of the country.
