EPPO Communication kits

Since the 2010s, EPPO has started to work in the area of communication by producing templates of posters and leaflets in order to help its member countries in their communication campaigns. NPPOs are encouraged to use these templates and adapt them to their own needs. NPPOs are kindly invited to provide feed-back to the EPPO Secretariat on how these documents have been used in practice.

 

  • Don't Risk It!: the objective of this poster and accompanying leaflet was to raise public awareness about the risks of moving plants and their associated pests during international travel and to encourage responsible behaviour.

 

  • Pest-specific posters and leaflets: the objective of this work was to provide NPPOs with templates that could be easily adapted to different types of pest-specific information campaigns (e.g. early warning, pest reporting, containment and eradication programmes).

Books on Quarantine Pests

In the 1990s, EPPO and CABI published a series of books on quarantine pests which provided an extensive set of datasheets, pictures and distribution maps for quarantine pests listed in Europe. These books also constituted a milestone in the collaboration between the EU, EPPO and CABI.  Their contents served as the basis of databases on pests and diseases which were developped by CABI (Compendia) and EPPO (PQR and EPPO Global Database).
