Ireland will host this informal meeting of EU Member States’ Chief Plant Health Officers.

The meeting facilitates high-level discussion among Chief Plant Health Officers and the European Commission on plant health policy and legislation.

This meeting allows Chief Plant Health Officers to share information, experiences and best practice on plant health matters and discuss emerging plant health challenges and risks in an informal setting.

The meeting complements formal Chief Plant Health Officer meetings and is used to identify and develop topics for further discussion in the formal meetings.
