Part A  
Measures to prevent the presence of RNQPs on fodder plant seed  
1. Inspection of the crop  
(1) The competent authority, or the professional operator under the official supervision  of 
the competent authority, shall carry out field inspections of the crop from which the 
fodder plant seed is produced concerning the presence of RNQPs in the crop, as set out 
in Part A of Annex IV.  
The competent authority may authorise inspectors, other than the  professional operators, 
to carry out the field inspections on its behalf and under its official supervision.   
(2) Those field inspections shall be carried out when the condition and the stage of 
development of the crop allow for an adequate inspection . There shall be at least one 
field inspection per year, at the most appropriate time for the detection of the respective 
RNQPs.  
(3) The competent authority shall determine the size, the number and the distribution of the 
portions of the field to be inspected in accordance with appropriate methods.  
The proportion of the crops for the production of seed to be officially inspected by the 
competent authority shall be at least 5  %. 
2. Sampling and testing of fodder plant seed  
(1) The competent authority shall:  
(a) officially draw seed samples from lots of fodder plant seed;  
(b) appoint seed samplers to carry out sampling on its behalf and under its official 
supervision;  
(c) compare the seed samples drawn by itself with those of the same seed lot drawn 
by the seed samplers under official supervision as referred to in point (b);  
(d) supervise the performance of the seed samplers provided for in point (2).  
(2) Seed samplers shall sample the fodder plant seed in accordance with up to date 
international methods.  
Except for  automatic sampling,  the competent authority  shall check -sample a proportion 
of at least 5 % of the seed lots entered for official certification. That proportion shall be 
as evenly spread as possible over natural and legal persons entering seed for 
certifi cation, and the species entered, but may also be aimed at eliminating specific 
doubts.  
(3) For automatic sampling, appropriate procedures shall be applied and it shall be 
officially supervised.  
For the examination of seed for certification , samples shall be drawn from 
homogeneous lots. As regards the lot and sample weights, the table of Annex III to 
Directive 66/401/EEC shall apply.  
 
3. Additional measures for certain plant species   
  47 The competent authorities, or the professional operators under the official su pervision of the 
competent authorities, shall  inspect, immediately prior to its movement:  
(1) the pre -basic, basic and certified seeds of Medicago sativa  L. to prevent the presence of 
Clavibacter michiganensis  ssp. insidiosus , and in order to ascertain that:  
(a) the seeds originate in areas known to be free from Clavibacter michiganensis spp.  
insidiosus ; or 
(b) the crop has been grown on land on which no previous Medicago sativa  L. crop 
has been present during the last three years prior to sowing, and no symptoms of 
Clavibacter michiganensis ssp. insidiosus  are observed during field inspection at 
the site of production or no symptoms of Clavibacter michiganensis ssp. 
insidiosus  have been observed on any Medicago sativa  L. crop adjacent to it, 
during the previous cropping; or  
(c) the crop belongs to a variety recognised as being highly resistant to Clavibacter 
michiganensis ssp.  insidiosus  and the content of inert matter shall not exce ed 
0.1% by weight;  
(2) seed of Medicago sativa  L. to prevent the presence of Ditylenchus dipsaci , and in order 
to ascertain that:  
(a) no symptoms of Ditylenchus dipsaci have been observed at the site of production 
during the previous cropping and no main host crops have  been grown during the 
two preceding years on the site of production and appropriate hygiene measures 
have been taken to prevent infestation of  the place of production; or  
(b) no symptoms of Ditylenchus dipsaci have been observed at the site of p roduction 
during the previous cropping and no Ditylenchus dipsaci  has been found by 
laboratory tests on a representative sample; or  
(c) the seeds have been subjected to an appropriate physical or chemical treatment 
against Ditylenchus dipsaci  and have been  found to be free of this pest after 
laboratory tests on a representative sample.  
 
Part B  
Measures concerning cereal seed  
1. Inspection of the crop  
(1) The competent authority, or the professional operator under the official supervision of 
the competent authority, shall carry out field inspections of the crop from which the 
cereal seed is produced, to confirm the fulfilment of the requirements concerning the 
presence of RNQPs in the crop, as set out in Part B of Annex IV.  
The competent authority may authorise inspectors, other than professional operators, to 
carry out the field inspections on its behalf and under its official supervision.  
(2) Those field  inspections shall be carried out when the condition and the stage of 
development of the crop allow for an adequate inspection.  
There shall be at least one field inspection per year, at the most appropriate time for the 
detection of the respective RNQPs.  
(3) The competent authority shall determine the size, the number and the distribution of the 
portions of the field to be inspected in accordance with appropriate methods.   
  48 The proportion of the crops for the production of seed to be officially inspected by t he 
competent authority shall be at least 5 %  
2. Sampling and testing of cereal seed  
(1) The competent authority shall:  
(a) officially draw seed samples from lots of cereal seed;  
(b) authorise seed samplers to carry out sampling on its behalf and under official 
supervision;  
(c) compare the seed samples drawn by itself with those of the same seed lot drawn 
by the seed samples under official supervision as referred to in point (b);  
(d) supervise the performance of the seed samplers as provided for in point (2).  
(2) The compet ent authority or the professional operator under the official supervision shall 
test the fodder plant seed in accordance with up to date international methods.  
Except for automatic sampling, the competent authority shall check -sample a proportion 
of at le ast 5 % of the seed lots entered for official certification. That proportion shall be 
as evenly spread as possible over natural and legal persons entering seed for 
certification, and the species entered, but may also be aimed at eliminating specific 
doubts .  
(3) For automatic sampling, appropriate procedures shall be applied and it shall be 
officially supervised.   
For the examination of seed for certification, samples shall be drawn from 
homogeneous lots. As regards the lot and sample weights, the provision s of the table of 
Annex III to Directive 66/402/EEC shall apply.  
 
3. Additional measures for seeds of Oryza sativa  L. 
The competent authority, or the professional operator under the official supervision of the 
competent authority, shall carry out checks to ensure that the seed of Oryza sativa  L.: 
(a) originates in area known to be free from Aphelenchoides besseyi ; 
(b) has been officially tested by the competent authorities by appropriate nematological 
tests on a representative sample from each lot, and have  been found free from 
Aphelenchoides besseyi ; 
(c) has been subjected to an appropriate hot water treatment or other appropriate treatment 
against Aphelenchoides besseyi . 
 
Part C  
Measures to prevent the presence of RNQPs on ornamental plants  
The following measures shall be taken concerning the respective RNQPs and plants for 
planting:  
The competent authority, or the professional operator under the official supervision of the 
competent authority, shall carry out checks and take any other actions to ensure th at the 
requirements, concerning the respective RNQPs and plants for planting, provided for in the
