PLANT QUARANTINE RESTRICTIONS, KINGDOM OF BELGIUM 
IMPORTATION OF FRESH CHERRIES REGULATED 
The decree of the Belgian Minister of Agriculture of May 14, 1932, prescribes 
that: 
1. The importation of fresh cherries into Belgium from France, Germany, and 
Italy is permitted only when an inspection made at the expense of the 
importer by the Belgian phytopathological authorities shows the shipment to 
be free from the cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi. 
2. Importation may be effected only through the customs offices of Erque- 
linnes, Montaleux (Mouscron), Montzen, Antwerp (office no. 4), and Brussels 
(offices nos. 1 and 3). 
Shipments arriving at Erquelinnes, Montaleux (Mouscron), and Montzen 
found to be infested with Rhagoletis ceraxi will be sent back. Those found 
at Antwerp and Brussels to be infested with this pest will be burned at the 
expense of the importer. 
IMPORTATION PROHIBITED OF POTATOES, EGGPLANTS, AND TOMATOES FROM FRANCE 
The order of the Belgian Minister of Agriculture of April 18, 1932, prohibits 
the importation into Belgium of potato tubers or plants, and of fruits or 
plants of eggplants and tomatoes originating or proceeding from France, but 
admits those products from other countries when each shipment is accom- 
panied by a certificate affirming that the products were grown in a locality 
free from the Colorado beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata. 
The regulations promulgated under the above order on the same date 
prescribe that : 
The importation of these products from countries other than France is 
permitted -only when a certificate issued by the official plant protection service 
of the country of origin is presented at the customs office, naming the country 
of origin of the products, and expressly affirming that they were grown in 
and proceed from a locality more than 20 kilometers distant from any culture 
attacked by the Colorado beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata, and potato wart, 
Synchytrium endobioticum. 
The regulation concerning the distance from foci of infestation with Colorado 
beetle is compulsory. With respect to foci of potato wart, the importation 
of potato tubers is permitted when their place of origin is less than 20 
kilometers, but not less than 500 meters therefrom, on condition that the 
certificate in question, in which the circumstances are established, also certifies 
that the shipment was inspected by the above-mentioned plant protection 
service and was found free from potato wart. 
According to the case, two certificates may be presented — one on Colorado 
beetle, and the other on potato wart. 
The reentry of shipments of this kind also is subject to inspection by the 
Belgian Phytopathological Service.
