Implementation in EU nurseries & market effects in the EU

• Nurseries: convinced plant health is their best asset
• Implementation / Preparation depends on the country

– Most countries: meetings / seminars / guidelines soon – URGENT: to improve communication Authorities <> Nurseries Org. – working systems to adapt, procedures to learn, +paperwork – Country authorities ♡ nurseries = easy way  advantatge

• Effect on the internal market: very low (same rules for all)
