🧳 The best holiday souvenir is one that doesn't bring an unwanted guest home.

Before packing plants, seeds or fruit, remember they may carry pests and diseases that threaten Europe's biodiversity.

🌿 Help protect our plants and ecosystems.
🇮🇪 🇪🇺

Take memories, not pests home from your holidays. 🧳

That beautiful plant or piece of fruit may look harmless, but some plants, seeds and fresh produce can carry pests and diseases that threaten Europe’s plants, crops and biodiversity.

Under EU plant health rules, bringing certain plants, plant products and seeds into the EU is restricted or requires a plant health certificate.

So this summer:
📷 Take photos, not plants
🌺 Think twice before packing fruit, seeds or cuttings
🌿 Help protect the plants, crops and ecosystems we all depend on

Because the best holiday souvenir is one that doesn’t bring an unwanted guest home.
