answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2017 answer text <p>Keeping our plants and trees healthy is important for our economy, the environment and our health, and our robust approach to protecting against plant health threats involves close collaboration with international partners. This will continue to be the case after we leave the European Union.</p><p> </p><p>Restrictions on the movement of high-risk host plants from the affected areas in the EU are already in place and full inspections take place on host plants from outside the EU. We are now pressing at an EU level for the protections against <em>Xylella fastidiosa </em>to be further strengthened and will continue to keep this issue under review nationally.</p><p> </p><p>Due to the rules of the Single Market, it is currently simpler for the UK to impose restrictions on the import of plants from outside the EU than it is on plants from within the EU where there is a threat to the UK. Within the EU, restrictions are decided at EU level, but outside the EU they can be decided at national level.</p><p> </p><p>Leaving the EU therefore provides an opportunity to examine how we can introduce stricter biosecurity measures on imports from remaining Member States, providing better protection against these serious threats.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey grouped question UIN 1404 question first answered 07/07/2017 15:51:59 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
