production:  (i) the plants held or produced at the place of production have 
undergone an appropriate treatment to ensure freedom from Bemisia 
tabaci  Genn. and  
(ii) subsequently this place of production has been found free from 
Bemisia tabaci  Genn. as a co nsequence of the implementation of 
appropriate procedures aimed at eradicating Bemisia tabaci  Genn. in 
official inspections carried out weekly during the three weeks prior to 
the movement from this place of production, the last of which was 
carried out imm ediately prior to movement,
