Citrus from the country, which represent about a third of the EU’s imports, will be subject to more stringent checks to prevent citrus black-spot disease spreading to fruit in the bloc, the European Commission, the EU’s administrative arm said last week. CBS is a fungal disease, which isn’t contagious for people, that causes high losses to fruit production, it said.
