 Final report for the non-regulated analysis of ex isting policy for fresh nectarine fruit from China 
The Australian Government Department of Agriculture and Water Resources has completed this 
risk analysis in response to the market access request for fresh nectarine fruit from China into 
Australia. The final report recommends a combination of risk management measures and a system of operational procedures that will reduce the risks associated with the importation of fresh 
nectarine fruit from China to achieve Australia's appropriate level of protection. 
The final report recommends that the importation of fresh nectarine fruit into Australia from China 
meets Australian biosecurity requirements subject to a range of risk management measures, 
including measures for fruit flies (two species), fruit borers (four species), leaf rollers (three 
species), thrips (two species), Hawthorn sp ider mite, Comstock mealybug, spotted wing 
drosophila, brown rots (four species) and plum pox virus. 
The draft report for this risk analysis was published on the Australian Government Department of 
Agriculture and Water Resources website on 28 May 2015 for a 30 day stakeholder consultation 
period and was published as an SPS notification with reference number G/SPS/N/AUS/360 on 28 May 2015. 
The completed report is available in English on the Australian Government Department of 
Agriculture and Water Resources website at http://www.agriculture.gov.au/biosecurity/risk-
