| The Department of Agriculture is hereby repealing its prohibition | for the importation of Citrus fruit trees and is authorising once again the importation of these trees originating in reliable nurseries from countries where no A1 quarantine organisims exist. |
| In order not to compound the control measures now in operation for | the control of the Citrus leafminer (Phyllocnistis citrella Stnt.), it is required that this organism is not present on the plants in any stage of its development and that the importer must ensure that consignments arrive with trees trimmed back to their old growth with no physical signs of any damage caused by this pest. |
| The Phytosanitary Certificate accompanying each consignment must | have the required additional declaration as appropriate. |
| Any prospective importer is hereby warned that should this pest be | found on any plant, the whole of the consignment (even if this is a mixed one) would be destroyed or re-exported at the importer's expense. |
