Persons handling plants must observe the principles of plant protection.
The Confederation, in cooperation with the cantons concerned, shall establish strategies and guidelines on measures to be taken against harmful organisms that may considerably compromise forest functions. The measures ensure that:
newly identified harmful organisms are destroyed in a timely manner;
established harmful organisms are contained if the expected benefits outweigh the costs of control;
harmful organisms found outside of the forest area are also monitored, destroyed or contained in order to protect the forest.
Owners of trees, shrubs, other plants, cultures, plant material, means of production and objects that are infested or could be infested with harmful organisms, or are themselves harmful organisms, must carry out or allow monitoring, isolation, treatment or destruction thereof in conjunction with the relevant authorities.
