This Order amends article 19A of the Plant Health (England) Order 2015 (S.I. 2015/610) which applies to certain plants intended for planting, which have been grown or are suspected to have been grown in another member State or in Switzerland. It requires the importer of any such plants to notify an authorised inspector in writing of their landing no later than four days after the date of their landing in England. The amendment extends these requirements to plants of Olea europaea L.
