COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2021/1688
of 20 September 2021
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201 as regards the lists of host plants and specified plants, and the tests for the identification of Xylella fastidiosa
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 2016 on protective measures against pests of plants, amending Regulations (EU) No 228/2013, (EU) No 652/2014 and (EU) No 1143/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Directives 69/464/EEC, 74/647/EEC, 93/85/EEC, 98/57/EC, 2000/29/EC, 2006/91/EC and 2007/33/EC ( 1 ) , and in particular Article 28(1) and (2) thereof,
Whereas:

(&#8216;the specified pest&#8217;).</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
<table><col/><col/><tbody><tr><td><p>(2)</p></td><td><p>Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201 contains a provision on official checks at introduction into the Union. That provision refers to the official checks to be performed at the point of entry into the Union or at the place of destination established in accordance with Commission Directive 2004/103/EC&#160;<a>(<span>3</span>)</a>. Within the new framework for official checks established by Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council&#160;<a>(<span>4</span>)</a>, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2123&#160;<a>(<span>5</span>)</a> established new rules on official checks performed at control points other than border control posts. Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2123 repealed Directive 2004/103/EC with effect from 14&#160;December 2020.
