The Commission fully shares the concern of the honourable Member as regards the threat to the Community citrus crop caused by the harmful organisms intercepted by Spain.
Following the notification by Spain of the preventive measures it has taken against citrus fruits originating in Argentina and Brazil, and in accordance with the relevant provisions laid down in the Community plant health regime, the Commission initiated discussions on the issue in the meeting of the Standing Committee on Plant Health on 11 and 12 December 2003. In the meantime, the Commission has also urgently requested from Argentina and Brazil additional technical information in respect of the situation faced by Spain, and about which the Commission fully shares its concern.
The Commission and the Member States agreed to review the position at the next meeting of the Standing Committee on 22 January 2004. The Commission will then consider any action ensuring that organisms harmful to citrus fruits – like citrus canker, from which the Community is free – are not introduced into and spread within the Community. The Commission expects to achieve a satisfactory solution before the next import campaign."@en1
