area without internal frontiers, would have only limited
effect if protective measures against their introduction
into the Community were not applied at the same time.

(6) The need for such measures has long been recognised
and they have formed the subject of many national
regulations and international conventions, including the
International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) of 6
December 1951 concluded at the United Nations Food
and Agricultural Organisation (FAO), which is of
worldwide interest.

(7) One of the most important measures consists in listing
the particularly dangerous harmful organisms whose
introduction into the Community must be prohibited
and also the harmful organisms whose introduction into
the Member States when carried by certain plants or
plant products must also be prohibited.

(8) The presence of some of these harmful organisms, when
plants or plant products are introduced from countries
in which these organisms occur, cannot be effectively
checked.

provision for bans on the introduction of certain plants
