  1. Draft ISPM: Movement of growing media in association with plants for planting in international trade (2005-004) IPPC Member Consultation 1 July to 1 December 2013

  2. Background SC recommended topic in November 2004 ICPM-7 (2005) added topic SC approved Specification 43 in May 2007 EWG drafted text in June 2010

  3. Background SC reviewed the draft ISPM in May 2011 and returned it to steward for further review in consultation with a small group of SC members Steward revised draft ISPM and submitted it in January 2013 SC revised and approved for member consultation the draft ISPM in May 2013

  4. General Considerations Soil and other growing media accompanying plants for planting in international trade are recognized as high risk pathways for the introduction of regulated pests. There is a need for guidelines to recommend measures to avoid or minimize the risk of introduction of pests with such movement of growing media

  5. Drafting Issues (1) A definition of “soil”, was proposed by the EWG.SC thought such a definition was useful and proposed it as a specific definition limited to this ISPM (i.e. not to be transferred to ISPM 5- Glossary) SC discussed the wording of the concept “degree of geographical similarity of, or distance between, country of origin and country of import” as a factor that may affect pest risk (section 4 in the draft ISPM)

  6. Drafting Issues (2) Appendix 2 : Indicative list of pests that may be of concern with respect to the movement of growing media accompanying plants for planting Is such a list useful as part ofthe ISPM? How extensiveshould it be? To whichtaxonomicentitiesshouldthe pests be specified or should more general nomenclature be used?

  7. Other relevant information SC considered whether the draft could be an annex to an existing ISPM, but concluded it should stay a separate ISPM
