Amendment of the Ordinance on the Protection of Plants against Particularly Dangerous Harmful Organisms (Plant Health Ordinance, PGesV, SR 916.20)

Maintaining harmonisation with the European plant health legislation in accordance with the bilateral agreement on trade in agricultural products (agricultural agreement) between Switzerland and the European Union is the main reason for this revision. The amendments are mostly formal and linguistic in nature and do not directly affect trade in plants and plant products.
