import restrictions on potatoes in march 1998 the european communities pointed out that notification of the slovak measure on potatoes as an emergency measure did not appear to be justified and that less trade-restrictive measures could attain the required level of protection. the slovak republic responded that problems seemed to stem from the registration procedure rather than from the phytosanitary requirements per se. slovak authorities were about to remove the current strict registration requirements and establish a maximum residue level. in march 1999 poland reported that following bilateral consultations the slovak republic had lifted its earlier import ban on polish ware potatoes but that it had been replaced with testing requirements for potato spindle tuber viroid. poland considered this requirement an unjustified obstacle to trade since no comment period had been provided and since the imported potatoes were treated to impede germination and were thus unlikely to introduce diseases to cro plants. the representative of the slovak republic indicated he would transmit the polish comments to his authorities. in july 1999 both delegations reported that consultations regarding potatoes and fruit including apples pears and quinces had taken place and had been expanded to include slovak exports of cereals maize and malt to poland. in november 1999 poland informed the committee on the development of the issue. the slovak republic thought it was more appropriate to discuss this matter at the expert level. the slovak republic stressed that it wanted to avoid importation of potato bacterial diseases. import measures had been notified g sps n svk 15 and were based on a pest risk analysis. in june 2004 the european communities reported that this issue had been resolved by the accession of the slovak republic to the european union.
restrictions on imports of apples pears and quinces in march 1998 hungary indicated that although the slovak republic had made changes to its measure on importation of apples pears and quinces as notified the certification and information requirements were extremely burdensome. the measure appeared to be more restrictive than required to protect health was not based on scientific principles and constituted a disguised restriction on trade. the slovak republic answered that the measure was intended for protection against the introduction of fire blight erwinia amylovora which did not occur in slovakia. the revised measure which extended import possibilities was consistent with the sps agreement but the slovak republic remained open to bilateral discussions. in june 1998 hungary acknowledged improvements made by the slovak republic but stressed that the measure was not consistent with recommendations by the european and mediterranean plant protection organization eppo . the licensing system which applied to each consignment remained too burdensome. the slovak republic replied that it imported 35 per cent of its apples pears and quinces which showed that there were no serious market access impediments. given the potential economic costs of introduction of the disease and since available scientific information was not sufficient a precautionary approach was adopted in line with article 5.7. the slovak republic was exchanging information with countries applying similar phytosanitary measures and was ready to continue discussion with its trading partners. in september 1998 hungary again acknowledged that the slovak measure had been improved although a partial ban still applied for which no scientific justification had been given. the slovak republic reiterated its earlier arguments that it had put in place a temporary measure according to article 5.7. in october 2001 hungary reported that a mutually acceptable solution had been found
