<p>The Windsor Framework provides for simplified arrangements for the movement of
plants and plant products between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, meaning a phytosanitary
certificate is not required and that a wider variety of plants can move.</p><p> </p><p>We
have secured the lifting of a ban on the movement of twelve plant species - apple,
Japanese / delavay privet, European crab apple, common hawthorn, Norway maple, Japanese
maple, sycamore maple, field maple, English oak, sessile oak, European beech and,
most recently, hazel. We are in active dialogue with the EU Commission on a number
of other species which industry has proposed as priorities. We will continue to engage
with industry to ensure the smooth movement of additional plant species. Further details
can be found on Defra’s online Plant Health Portal.</p>
