The outcome of the evaluation of the Community Plant Health Regime and the recommendations made in the evaluation report for the new plant health law were presented by the evaluation consortium. The planning of the review of the legislation and the consultation process were also presented. A plenary discussion took place to assess which recommendations from the evaluation should be included in the impact assessment.
