Download Oncidium Cut Flowers from Taiwan — RMP

(1) The purpose of this risk management proposal (RMP) is to:
a) summarise the pests associated with the import of Oncidium (Oncidium spp.) cut flowers that require measures and the strength of measure identified to manage them;
b) identify how the measures proposed in the draft import health standard (IHS) for “Oncidium Cut Flowers” effectively manage known biosecurity risks; and
c) explain how the proposed measures are consistent with New Zealand’s domestic legislation and international obligations.
(2) The draft IHS is the subject of consultation under section 23(3) of the Biosecurity Act 1993. This RMP provides information to support the consultation on the draft IHS but is not itself the subject of consultation. However MPI will accept comments and suggestions on the RMP in order to improve future IHS consultations.
