MPI are reviewing the current measures for managing Xylella fastidiosa in the Nursery Stock import health standard and have sent out some proposed phytosanitary measures for consideration.

Formal consultation on the review is planned for the third quarter of 2024.  In the meantime, they will be holding two virtual "Information and Feedback” sessions to seek feedback on potential phytosanitary measures to manage Xylella in imported nursery stock.

The two sessions are: Monday, 17 June, 13:00-14:30 and Tuesday, 18 June, 9:30-11:00.  If you wish to attend, please send an email to PlantImports@mpi.govt.nz indicating which session you are interested in.

If you haven't already received a copy of the proposed measures, please email me and I'll send a copy  - Kathryn@nzppi.co.nz
