In 2024, the GB Plant Health Service introduced legislation (see here) to enhance biosecurity by updating the existing measures within Annex 7 of the Phytosanitary Conditions Regulation against the pests: 

•  the non-European isolates of Phytophthora ramorum (adding new host plants from Canada and Vietnam),
•  Thaumatotibia leucotreta (False Codling Moth) (extending hosts to include cut flowers of Rosa from any country of the African continent, Cape Verde, Saint Helena, Madagascar, La Reunion, Mauritius, and Israel).

 These provisions will come into force from 26 April 2025. Risk assessments are a dynamic process, so all commodities remain under continuous review.
