1 Plant passports are not required where the bulbs and corms have been prepared and are ready for sale to the final consumer.
Remember: there may be different plant passporting requirements for other member states. The Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, for example, require a plant passport for retail sales of fireblight hosts even down to the final consumer. Please contact the SERPID Horticulture and Marketing Unit for further details.
