Apple snails into Europe banned
Apple snails of the genus Pomacea will be prohibited for import into the European Union. A proposal was adopted in the past week and EU member States have to implement this. This has serious consequences for the aquarium trade. Not only will apple snails be banned for import, shipments of aquatic plants must have a declaration in the health certificate that they are inspected and found free of apple snails, and at arrival into the EU they will also be inspected. It will be prohibited to sell the snails in pet shops.
Reason for the ban is the outbreak of apple snails (Pomacea insularum) in Spain, in the Ebro delta, where they were found feeding on the rice plantations.
It is not exactly clear, as off which date this will be implemented in the entire EU.
