Revision to Directive D-02-07
Directive D-02-07, “Plant Protection Import Requirements for Fresh Apples (Malus spp.) from the People’s Republic of China” has been revised, and is available at:
http://www.inspection.gc.ca/english/plaveg/protect/dir/d-02-07e.shtml
The directive has been revised to allow the importations of fresh apples from the province of Shaanxi, China under a two-year trial period following a successful on-site CFIA audit inspection of their Quality Management System. Importation of fresh apples from Shaanxi province was previously suspended due to interceptions of quarantine pests.
This revision also extends the trial period for the importation of fresh apples from the province of Shandong, China for one year. This is due to the fact that the CFIA is not yet satisfied that fresh apples from Shandong province can routinely meet CFIA import requirements.
