Abstract

Since 14 December 2019, a new EU plant health regime is in place that is meant to improve the protection against the introduction and spread of regulated harmful organisms. For this reason, the precautionary principle is put forward and harmonisation of the phytosanitary regulations is improved within the EU. Improved especially digital communication between operators and competent authorities as well as between the authorities causes quicker and simpler processes and leads to improved reac­tions on phytosanitary threads. Particularly, import of plant-based goods is important for prevention. The new regulations for import and export are illustrated and commented here.
