Summary of Proposed Revisions to the Enforcement Ordinance of the Plant Protection Law and Concerned Public Notices Prepared by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fishers of Japan will revise the Enforcement Ordinance of the Plant Protection Law and concerned Public Notices based on conclusions reached by using pest risk analyses in accordance with the International Plant Protection Convention and ISPM No. 11, 2004 “Pest Risk Analysis for Quarantine Pests including Analysis of Environmental Risks and Living Modified Organisms” or another examination and evaluation of available scientific information. The overview is contained below, in which scientific names are written in italics and followed by common names. 1. Quarantine pests Quarantine pests are designated as Annex 1. 2.
