WTO notification
(PDF) Applies from 1 July 2009: In addition to the implementation of treatment and marking requirements described in ISPM 15, the new EC import requirements provide that the WPM instead of being produced from debarked round wood from 1 January 2009 onwards, will need to be free from bark with exception for the presence of any number of individual pieces of bark. These should be either less than 3 cm in width (regardless of the length) or, if greater than 3 cm in width, of not more than 50 cm2 in area. This latter free-from-bark requirement will be applicable from 1 July 2009 onwards. WTO notification 2009 amendment (PDF) The enforcement date of the latest amendment to EC 2006/133/EC regarding Portugal will be postponed from 16 June 2009 to 1 January 2010.

From 19 March 2010
