There will be a mighty sigh of relief at the news that the European Commission is to accept the Balearic proposal for dealing with the xylella fastidiosa bacterium. The health and food safety committee is due to meet on Thursday and Friday next week, and it is understood that it will approve the Balearic plan of containment. The great fear had been that Brussels would insist on eradication, which could have meant the loss of thousands of trees and a major impact on the landscape as well as agricultural production.
