    This technical report assesses the policy of the import prohibitions included in the New Plant Health Regulation Regulation (EU) 2016/2031, and their economic impact. For this purpose, a survey of various EU stakeholders i.e. Certification CAs, NPPOs, operators, MS-level and EU-wide associations, and non-EU NPPOs was carried out. The survey was answered by 92 respondents from 52 different countries. The results show the views of the stakeholders on the cost and benefits as well as the performance of provisions regarding imports from non-EU countries. In particular, it focuses on the implementation of the High risk plants, plant products, and other objects as well as the provisions for quarantine pests and plants, plant products and other objects used for official testing, scientific, and educational purposes, varietal selection and breeding, and quarantine stations. It also includes an analysis of publicly available data regarding trade and interceptions to estimate the impact that the changes in legislation have had on imports of plants and plant products. This report is one of four reports prepared for the preparation of the report to the European Parliament and to the Council according to the legislative obligation of the European Commission laid down in Article 50 of the Plant Health Regulation (EC 2016/2031).
