This Order which comes into operation on 11th May 1998 further amends the Plant Health Order (Northern Ireland) 1993 ("the 1993 Order"). The Order implements as respects Northern Ireland Commission Decision 98/109/EC (O.J. No. L.27, 3.2.98, p. 47) authorising Member States temporarily to take emergency measures against the dissemination of Thrips palmi Karny as regards Thailand. It applies to consignments of cut flowers of Orchidaceae (cut orchid flowers) which left Thailand after 9th February 1998.
The Order introduces the requirement that imports of such orchid flowers must be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate (article 2(3)) which contains certain information about steps taken with regard to Thrips palmi Karny (article 2(2)).
The Order also makes a minor consequential amendment to the 1993 Order (article 2(4)).
