AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
🇬🇧 English
This regulation creates a limited exception to the EU’s plant health import ban so unrooted cuttings of Calibrachoa, Petunia and their hybrids can enter the EU from Uganda under strict pest-control conditions. The change matters for EU ornamental plant growers, importers and Ugandan producers. Businesses using these cuttings will need to meet the required plant health checks, certification and production controls aimed at preventing pests and plant diseases from entering the EU.
