Does ebay sellers care about passport....hum hum

Neil:
Just been told that selling on eBay even one plant you need to be registered.  When I questioned him about eBay sellers and what they are going to do about it.  He said do I want arrange an inspection I kept pushing about it but no joy.

Yann:
It's impossible to control and many nurseries from all the world's corners will continue to sell without any passport or it'll sign their death.

PPE is only need when you sell plants by mail and ship to a protected zone. eg buxus shipped from NL to IT, as buxus are almost 90% destroyed there by Cydalima. I've read the whole EEC document and many samples are well explained.
But selling an Allium bulb from NL to IT doesn't need any passport, except the old one for wholesale trades.

Only seeds that are under a patent or under certification process will need this passport but if you ship a packet of papaver seeds to a friend you don't need the passport.

There're many confusions around this new passport, i think peoples need to read carefully the whole document.

Try to find an Androsace or any saxifraga in this document, nothing, so you still can ship these plants without PP.
The nurseries that already own the old PP don't need to renew it until 14 December 2023.
The new registered ones need to have their certificated number on any support, even a 4x4x6 pot, it can be on the thermo label.

A government control may be done once every 2 years.
