NOTIFICATION  
Addendum  
The following communication, received on 15 July 2021, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of  the United Kingdom . 
 
_______________  
 
 
PH/026 Pest Measures  
Additional measures are proposed for the notification G/SPS/N/GBR/8 to deregulate pests 
(Apricot  latent virus, Aucuba mosaic agent and blackcurrant yellows agent, Epidiaspis leperii , 
Heterodera fici , Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. savastanoi ). These measures should enable trade as 
the import requirem ents associated with these pests will no longer need to be met.  
G/SPS/N/GBR/8 originally introduced measures against Prodiplosis longifila , Agrilus fleischeri , 
Thekopsora minima  and Agrilus planipennis  and a prohibition on the import of Polymnia sonchifoli a 
plants from entering Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland). This notification was distributed on 
2 June 2021.
