MPI is proposing the following changes to the Importation of Nursery Stock import health standard:

·        Addition of phytosanitary measures for the management of alstroemeria necrotic streak virus and tomato chlorotic spot virus on Hoya plant hosts. Measures include options for off-shore and on-shore management;

·        Removal of the measures for hoya undetermined tobamoviruses on Hoya plant hosts.
