Abstract

For the purpose of the present Agreement quarantine organisms shall be considered pests, plant diseases and weeds specified in the Annexes 1 and 2 (art. 1). The Parties shall carry out the following arrangements: 1) to prevent the introduction and the propagation of pests in the process of import and export of seeds, planting material and plants; 2) to communicate phytosanitary regulations of one of the Parties to the other Party in the process of export, import and transit of freight subject to quarantine inspection; 3) to exchange of information on research in the sphere of plant quarantine and plant protection; 4) to exchange information on the use of pesticides (art. 4). Each lot of freight subject to quarantine inspection shall be accompanied by phytosanitary certificate issued by plant quarantine and plant protection service of the exporting country specifying that the freight complies with phytosanitary requirements of the importing country (art. 6). The Parties have agreed that in the process of export of freight subject to quarantine inspection wood-wool, sawdust, wrapping paper, plastic and other materials that cannot be carriers of pests shall be used for packaging. The aforesaid materials must be free of soil, while straw, chaff, leaves and other materials of plant origin shall not be used without prior consent of both Parties (art. 7).
