Tougher measures sought to prevent "olive ebola" in the Balearics
The Xylella fastidiosa (XF) bacterium was first being detected last year in parts of Europe. Commonly referred to as the "olive ebola", it can cause serious damage to olive trees and also to almond, fig and citrus trees. The El Pi party has now taken the matter to the Balearic parliament in seeking the means to prevent any outbreak. One of its parliamentary deputies, Josep Melià, has stressed to the environment committee that XF cannot be allowed to enter the Balearics. "The consequences could be catastrophic."
