PM 8/15 (1) Tilia

Abstract

Specific scopeThe purpose of the EPPO Standard on Tilia is to recommend to EPPO Member Governments the phytosanitary measures which they should use or require for Tilia plants and plant products moving in international trade to prevent the introduction and spread of quarantine pests of Tilia and other host plants through these pathways. Some of these recommendations are addressed to all EPPO Member Governments, others are addressed only to countries considered to face a certain level of risk from the introduction and spread of the regulated pests concerned. All these recommendations were derived from: EPPO Standards PM 1/2 (EPPO A1 and A2 lists) and the former EPPO Standards PM 2 (pest‐specific phytosanitary measures), or Pest Risk Analysis (PRA) carried out or reviewed by EPPO, or The Panel on Quarantine Pests for Forestry The Working Party on Phytosanitary Regulations. This Standard covers phytosanitary import requirements that the importing country is recommended to require for imported consignments. Measures that may be used in the importing countries such as post‐entry quarantine (which is sometimes an option recommended in PRAs), raising public awareness, and pest control and suppression are out of scope of this Standard. Post‐entry quarantine is primarily used in the EPPO region as a derogation when import phytosanitary requirements are not met.For wood packaging material, recommendations are based on ISPM 15 Regulation of wood packaging material in international trade.Specific approval and amendmentFirst approved in September 2021–09.
