[MAIPC] Faith's new blog post - Europe's struggle to strengthen phytosanitary regs

[Phytodoer at aol.com]

hello, forest pest mavens!
 
I have posted a new blog at _www.cisp.us_ (http://www.cisp.us)  -  this one 
summarizes a recent article outlining how vulnerable Europe is to  
non-native tree-killing insects and pathogens and saying that the European Union  is 
trying to strenthen its phytosanitary rules.  Unfortunately, World Trade  
Organization rules will make it difficult to adopt the most effective  
approaches.
 
The UK is now going it alone - so it will have both the opportunity &  
burden of adopting more effective phytosanitary regs.
 
I make some comparisons to the U.S.' situation, too.
 
Faith
