Descripción
This standard describes the requirements for establishing and maintaining a fruit fly pest free area. The target pests for this standard include insects of the order Diptera, family Tephritidae. The establishment of a fruit fly pest free area and its recognition by trading partners implies that no other phytosanitary measures are required for the target species of fruit fly for host commodities sourced from within the fruit fly pest free area if the phytosanitary integrity of the host commodi ty is maintained throughout harvest, sorting, storage, packaging and transport. This standard was endorsed by the twenty-fourth session of the Asia and Pacific Plant Protection Commission (APPPC) held in Bangkok, Thailand in September 2005. Regional standards for phytosanitary measures are developed and adopted by APPPC as part of the plant protection programme of the Commission's contracting parties to support regional harmonization and facilitate trade of commodities by member countries.
