- February 17th: DEFRA are increasing restrictions and requirements for the import of high risk Xylella host plants to reduce the chances that Xylella is introduced into GB. The aim of these measures is to enhance the level of protection against the risk of entry of Xylella into GB via imported plants. More information here.
