United Fresh News > Queensland Fruit Fly December Update
General Situation remains unchanged since the November update.
Response closure
The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) will be announcing response closure in the near future, if there are no further QFF finds.
This would mean that with effect from the official announcement the:
Korea have recently requested to obtain MPIs confirmation of eradication before formally agreeing to remove the Additional Declarations (AD) for QFF host material being exported from New Zealand. We hope this will be an administrative process that will likely not take too long after the announcement. An update will be provided when the AD has been removed for Korea, until then the additional QFF requirements for Korea remain in place.
The official lifting of the Control Area Notice will be published on the MPI website coinciding with the public announcement.
Prior to the public announcement, we will circulate the media release announcing response closure.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their cooperation during this response.
