Plant Health Guide: passporting and marketing requirements
This guide offers details about plant passporting - moving plants within the European Community - and marketing regulations.
Appendix D: protected zones and plants which require "ZP" plant passports
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 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 the SERPID Horticulture and Marketing Unit for further details.
