By reference to a series of specific crops, the author brings out the principal risks of introduction of seed‐borne pathogens. Apart from the possibility of introducing new pathogens, there is a danger of spread of pathogens already present in Europe to new districts and also of the introduction of new races. These latter possibilities are not currently taken into consideration by EPPO and the author proposes that they should be carefully examined.
