<p>As part of the Windsor Framework, we have worked closely with industry to identify
and lift the EU prohibition on movements to Northern Ireland for eleven priority species
of tree: European beech, English oak, Sessile oak, Norway maple, Japanese maple, Sycamore
maple, Field maple, Crab apple, Common apple, Hawthorn and two types of privet (wax
leaf and delavey). In addition, the ban on Common hazel will also be lifted soon.
An additional 26 species from other prohibited genera are currently under consideration
for removal from the prohibited list. Many of those species are those included in
the Woodland Trust tree packs. We have reached out to the Woodland Trust to discuss
this matter further. Moreover, we continue to work with stakeholders to identify further
species to be considered by the EU for removal from the prohibited list.</p>
