General Considerations
Soil and other growing media accompanying plants for planting in international trade are recognized as high risk pathways for the introduction of regulated pests.
There is a need for guidelines to recommend measures to avoid or minimize the risk of introduction of pests with such movement of growing media

Drafting Issues (1)• A definition of “soil”, was proposed by the EWG.
SC thought such a definition was useful and proposed it as a specific definition limited to this ISPM (i.e. not to be transferred to ISPM 5- Glossary)
• SC discussed the wording of the concept “degree of geographical similarity of, or distance between, country of origin and country of import” as a factor that may affect pest risk (section 4 in the draft ISPM)

Drafting Issues (2)
Appendix 2 : Indicative list of pests that may be of concern with respect to the movement of growing media accompanying plants for planting
• Is such a list useful as part of the ISPM?• How extensive should it be? • To which taxonomic entities should the pests
be specified or should more general nomenclature be used?

Other relevant information
SC considered whether the draft could be an annex to an existing ISPM, but concluded it should stay a separate ISPM
