Recital 24
(24) Certain plants, plant products and other objects pose an unacceptable phytosanitary risk by their likelihood to host a Union quarantine pest. For some of those, acceptable risk mitigation measures are available, while not for others. Depending on the availability of acceptable risk mitigation measures, their introduction into, and movement within, the Union territory should be either prohibited or subject to special requirements. A zonal or regional approach should be the first approach, with general Union restrictions only considered if a pest poses a threat to plant health throughout the Union. Those plants, plant products and other objects should be listed.
