EPPO is an
intergovernmental organization responsible for European cooperation in
plant health. Founded in 1951 by 15 European countries, EPPO now has 50
members, covering almost all countries of the European and Mediterranean
region. Its objectives are to protect plants, to develop international
strategies against the introduction and spread of dangerous pests and to
promote safe and effective control methods. As a Regional Plant Protection
Organization, EPPO also participates in global discussions on plant health
organized by FAO and the IPPC Secretariat. Finally, EPPO has produced a
large number of standards and publications on plant pests, phytosanitary
regulations, and plant protection products.
