Three days left for TOM Feedback!

17 May 2023

The recently launched draft TOM sets out a world leading model for the import of goods, including plants and plant products, underpinned by an intelligent approach to risk management.

The TOM has been published as a draft to allow for traders to comment on the proposals. This will help to shape the final TOM which is due to be published later in spring. There are three days left to submit feedback, so head to gov.uk if you wish to provide feedback directly. FPC will be pulling together a comprehensive response on behalf of the industry in addition to encouraging members to provide their own direct feedback.

There are lots of resources to help your understanding of the TOM plant health proposals:

• Check out our dedicated TOM page on the Plant Health Portal
• Watch one of our recorded TOM online sessions, one focused on the Authorised Operator Status model and two focused on what the TOM means for the Fresh Produce and Horticulture sector
