EPPO SUMMARY OF THE PHYTOSANITARY REGULATIONS

OF SWEDEN

This summary of the phytosanitary regulations of Sweden forms part of the EPPO publication Summaries of Phytosanitary Regulations. Sweden is a Member State of the European Union (EU). Its phytosanitary regulations, though published as a separate national text, are essentially as specified in EU Directive 2000/29 and its amendments. The summary of this EU Directive, which also forms part of the EPPO publication Summaries of Phytosanitary Regulations, should be consulted as the main source of information on the phytosanitary regulations of Sweden. The Directive also supposes that all or part of the territories of certain Member States (including Sweden) shall be considered as one or several "protected zones". Movement of certain commodities into and within protected zones is subject to requirements additional to those for the EU in general. The present summary, extracted by the EPPO Secretariat from the original text of the Directive and its amendments, concerns only the requirements for protected zones lying in Sweden.

The content of this summary, and of the summary for the EU, is identical to that of EPPO's computer database PRS. PRS is provided with a user-friendly interface for retrieval of this information in relation to consignments of specific commodities exported to Sweden from any country. Users are strongly advised to consult PRS in the first instance, and to refer to this printed summary only for an overall view. The consolidated text of EU Directive 2000/29 is also supplied with PRS, as a computer text file.

This summary, and that of EU Directive 2000/29 and its amendments, have been submitted to the EU Commission for review, and are believed to contain complete and up-to-date information. Nevertheless, they do not constitute legally approved substitutes of either the original text of EU Directive 2000/29 or of the Swedish regulations. If in doubt, users should refer to the original texts.

The summary is presented in the following sequence:

General requirements

Commodity requirements for:

Plants

Bulbs and tubers

Seeds

Cut flowers and branches

Fruits and vegetables

Squared wood

Non-squared wood

Bark

Soil/growing medium

Stored products

Other

The summary uses the terminology of the Glossary of Phytosanitary Terms (ISPM No. 5), which is supplied with PRS. It also uses a number of 'standard phrases', enclosed in inverted commas, whose full definition is given in PRS and in the introduction to the complete set of Summaries.
