of 30 September 2014

(notified under document C(2014) 6566)
(2014/690/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community ( 1 ) , and in particular the fourth sentence of Article 16(3) thereof,
Whereas:
<table><col/><col/><tbody><tr><td><p>(1)</p></td><td><p>The measures set out by Commission Decision 2006/464/EC<a>&#160;(<span>2</span>)</a> did not prevent the spread of<span>Dryocosmus kuriphilus</span> Yasumatsu (oriental chestnut gall wasp) as appears from the yearly surveys carried out by the Member States pursuant to that Decision. Those surveys further show that<span>Dryocosmus kuriphilus</span> Yasumatsu is widely spread in a large part of its potential area of establishment within the Union territory. In addition, the conditions for movement of susceptible plants set out in Decision 2006/464/EC are not feasible and appropriate for that large part of the Union territory.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
<table><col/><col/><tbody><tr><td><p>(2)</p></td><td><p>Decision 2006/464/EC should therefore be repealed.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
<table><col/><col/><tbody><tr><td><p>(3)</p></td><td><p>The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
