The movement of plants within the European Union is governed by Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 on protective measures against plant pests. An inspection may lead to a batch being detained or destroyed: these administrative decisions can be challenged, and their consequences often pass along the chain between supplier and customer.
Typical matters
- Plant passport and phytosanitary certificates
- Importing plants into the EU and exporting from France
- Batches blocked at the border
- Quarantine pests: measures and liability
- Challenging a detention or destruction order
