Expert Consultation on phytosanitary treatments for The Bactrocera Dorsalis complex

The Standards Committee (SC) was informed about concerns from some countries on the absence of phytosanitary treatments for the control of Bactrocera invadens, Drew, Tsuruta & White (Diptera: Tephritidae). After discussion between the IPPC Secretariat and the National Plant Protection Organization (NPPO) of Japan it was agreed to organize an expert consultation meeting on phytosanitary treatments to control fruit flies of economic importance from the Bactrocera dorsalis complex in December 2014 in Okinawa. The Technical Panel on Phytosanitary Treatments (TPPT), the Technical Panel on Fruit Flies (TPFF) and the SC have all agreed such a  meeting would be of particular interest to those areas or countries affected by this pest.
