reported that in many instances exporters of live plants to Yugoslavia failed to 
furnish that information.

by the Yugos^lavian Ministry of Agriculture, but this occasion is taken to 
emphasize the requirement.

Article 3 of the general regulations (B. E. P. Q. 447, p. 3) is hereby amended 
to read as follows: 
"Art. 3. The importation of potatoes, stocks of deciduous fruit trees, and other 
woody plants into Yugoslavia from any country in which the disease or any of 
the pests mentioned in article 2 prevails will be permitted only when the shipment 
is accompanied by the certificate prescribed in article 4 issued by the institute in 
charge of the official phytopathological service of the exporting country. In this 
certificate it must be affirmed that the shipment is not attacked by the disease or 
by any injurious pest named in article 2, and that the shipment does not proceed 
from a locality in which the said disease or parasites prevail, nor from a pro- 
tective zone of 10 km diameter surrounding that locality."

This digest of the plant-quarantine import restrictions of the Republic of 
Turkey has been prepared for the information of nurserymen, plant-quarantine

lations of the original texts made by the Turkish Embassy, Washington.
