POTATO WART 
Imposed by the decree of January 9, 1930; B. G. Bl. No. 25, 1930, amended 
by the decree B. G. Bl. No. 484, 1935, concerning the importation and transit 
of fresh potatoes and other articles that may be considered as carriers of 
the potato wart organism. (Promulgated on the basis of sec. 2 of the Federal 
law of Dec. 20, 1929; B. G. Bl. No. 5, 1930.) 
Importation and transit of fresh potatoes prohibited 
Article 1. The importation and transit of fresh potatoes, as well as of peel- 
ings and refuse thereof, and of sacks and other articles that have served to 
pack and store them, are prohibited, on account of the danger of introducing 
potato wart {Synchgtrium endohioticum) , with certain exceptions. 
Provision is made for the importation and transit, under prescribed condi- 
tions, including a phytosanitary certificate indicating healthy origin, of potatoes 
from countries that are free from wart disease, a list of such countries being 
published annually. 
Since the importation of potatoes from the United States into Austria is 
prohibited by articles 11 and 16 of the decree of July 18, 1932, (B. G. Bl. 222, 
1932), as amended by B. G. Bl. 483, 1935, on account of the Colorado potato 
beetle, the full text of the potato wart decree is omitted as not concerning 
the United States.
