Introduction to PM 9 Standards on National regulatory control systems

Abstract

EPPO Standards are approved by the EPPO Council. The date of approval appears in each individual Standard. In the terms of Article II of the IPPC, EPPO Standards are Regional Standards for the members of the EPPO.

EPPO Standards are subject to periodic review and amendment. The next review date for this set of EPPO Standards is decided by the EPPO Working Party on Phytosanitary Regulations.

Amendments will be issued as necessary, numbered and dated. The dates of amendment appear in each individual Standard (as appropriate).

EPPO Standards on national regulatory control systems are intended to be used by National Plant Protection Organizations in their capacity as bodies responsible for official control of regulated pests.
