PLANT-QUARANTINE IMPORT RESTRICTIONS, KINGDOM OF RUMANIA 
February 6, 1937. 
This summary of the plant-quarantine restrictions of the Kingdom of Ru- 
mania has been prepared for the information of nurserymen, plant-quarantine 
officials, and others interested in the exportation of plants and plant products 
to that country. 
It was prepared by Harry B. Shaw, plant quarantine inspector, in charge of 
Foreign Information Service, Division of Foreign Plant Quarantines, from his 
translations of French, German, and Rumanian texts of the original decrees and 
orders of the Rumanian Ministry of Agriculture and Domains, and reviewed 
by the section of phytopathology of that Ministry. 
The information contained in this circular is believed to be correct and com- 
plete up to the time of preparation, but it is not intended to be used independ- 
ently of, nor as a substitute for, the original texts of the decrees and orders, 
and it is not to be interpreted as legally authoritative. Those decrees and 
orders should be consulted for the exact texts.
