As a consequence of increasing world wide trade with products that are transported with solid wood packaging material, the number of introductions and interceptions of harmful foreign forest pests and diseases has escalated dramatically. Therefore, experts of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) have issued an international phytosanitary standard for wood packaging material (ISPM No 15) that has now come into force in the plant protection regulations of many countries of world, effective 1 March 2005 in countries of the European Union. The Austrian Plant Protection Organization is implementing these regulations through regular inspections of packaging wood at the place of destination of every recipient of such consignments.
