"Plants for planting" excludes leaves, branches, fruit and seeds unless otherwise specified.
These requirements apply at all stages down to the retail level. For example, movements from propagators to nurseries, nurseries to distribution centres, and distribution centre to garden centres, retailers, markets etc.
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.
