Summary


The Australian Government Department of Agriculture has assessed the quarantine risks associated with the importation of lily (Lilium spp.) cut flowers from Taiwan.

Quarantine pests identified as requiring measures to manage the risks to a very low level in order to achieve Australia’s appropriate level of protection include several species of beetles, thrips, leafminers, moths, and viruses.

Consistent with the existing policy for the importation of cut flowers, the identified viruses will be managed through the requirement that stems be free from bulbils. This will minimise the risk of intentional propagation of the cut flowers. The risk of virus establishment was not considered to significantly differ from the current trade in cut flowers grown in Australia from imported bulbs in open quarantine. For arthropod pests either fumigation, or a systems approach, is recommended, which will minimise the risk of pests establishing in Australia.

Additionally, the department will undertake a documentation compliance examination for consignment verification purposes, at the port of entry in Australia, prior to inspection and discharge of the imported Lilium spp. cut flowers. All Lilium spp. cut flowers will be subject to on-arrival inspection by departmental officers. The detection of live insects, disease symptoms or regulated articles will result in failure of the consignment. Remedial actions for failed consignments include methyl bromide fumigation if live insects are detected, and export or destruction if stem bulbils are detected, as required.

The department considers that these measures will adequately mitigate the identified biosecurity risks. A number of changes have been made following consideration of stakeholder comments on the draft policy review and incorporated where appropriate.
