Resolution No. 057-2020-ARP-SFE, Addendum to Resolution No. 033-2019-ARP-SFE establishing phytosanitary requirements for the importation of plants for planting of all reported host species of Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum haplotypes C, D and E

G/SPS/N/CRI/207/Add.3
Description
Costa Rica hereby advises that it has amended Resolution No. 033-2019-ARP-SFE establishing phytosanitary requirements for the importation of plants for planting of all reported host species of Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum haplotypes C, D and E, by removing paragraph 1 of the "Por tanto" section.
This amendment has been made in order to eliminate the phytosanitary requirements applicable to seeds of plants of the Apiaceae family, as recent scientific information shows that transmission of the pest Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum through seeds is negligible.
