F1 EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Plant Health (England) Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/2530) so as—

- to clarify the scientific name for citrus longhorn beetle as Anoplophora chinensis (Forster);

- to prohibit imports of certain plant species originating in any third country where Anoplophora chinensis (Forster) is known to be present unless certain conditions are met (article 2(3)); and

- to require such plant species originating in such third countries or in the European Community to have a plant passport before being moved within the Community (article 2(4) and (5)).

It is an offence under the Plant Health (England) Order 2005 to contravene these requirements.
