Authority’) has updated its database of plants for planting, other than seeds, known to be susceptible to the 
specifi ed pest by including Anthyllis barbajovis L., Arbutus unedo L., Argyr anthemum frutescens (L.) Sch.B ip., Berber is 
thunbergii DC., Calocephalus brownii (Cass.) F.Muell., Cortader ia selloana (Schult. & Schult.f.) Asch. & Graebn., Citrus 
limon (L.) Osbeck, Citrus paradisi Macfad., Citrus reticulata Blanco, Clematis vitalba L., Cortader ia selloana (Schult. & 
Schult.f.) Asch. & Graebn., Dittr ichia viscosa (L.) Greuter , Elaeagnus angustif olia L., Elaeagnus x submacrophy lla Servett., 
Erica cinere a L., Eriocephalus africanus L., Ficus carica L., Gazania rigens (L.) Gaer tn., Genista hirsuta Vahl., Hyper icum 
andro saemum L., Hyper icum perfor atum L., Jacobaea maritima (L.) Pelser & Meijden, Magnolia x soulangean a Soul.-Bod., 
Myo porum laetum G. Forst., Myr tus communis L., Olea europ aea subsp. sylvestr is (Mill.) Rouy, Pelargonium graveolens 
L’Hér ., Phlomis italica L., Retama monosper ma (L.) Boiss., Ruta graveolens L., Salvia apiana Jeps., Scabiosa atropur purea var. 
maritima L., Strelitzia regin ae Aiton, Syringa vulgaris L., Thymus vulgaris L., Ulex europaeus L., Vibur num tinus L. and Vitex 
agnus-castus L. as hosts of certain subspecies of the specified pest (3). Annex es I and II to Implementing Regulation 
(EU) 2020/1201 should theref ore reflect that updat e.
(3) In the case of the genus Phoenix, it is appropr iate to list the species Phoenix reclinata Jacquin and Phoenix roebelenii 
O’Br ien in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201, as only those two species have been found to be 
susceptible to the specifi ed pest according to the latest update by the Auth ority of the database of plants for 
planting, other than seeds, kno wn to be susceptible to the specif ied pest.
(4) In the case of the genus Lonicer a, it is appropr iate to list the species Lonicer a implexa Soland. and Lonicer a japonica

found to be suscep tible to the Xylella fastidiosa subspecies multiplex according to the latest updat e by the Author ity of 
the database of plants for planting, other than seeds, known to be suscep tible to the specifi ed pest.
(5) Phillyrea latifoli a L. should be remo ved from the list of specifi ed plants suscep tible to the Xylella fastidiosa subspecies 
multiplex in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201 because it was mistakenly repor ted by Member 
State s as a specified plant.
(1)OJ L 317, 23.11.2016, p. 4.
(2)Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201 of 14 August 2020 as regar ds measures to prevent the introduction into and 
the spread within the Union of Xylella fastidiosa (Wells et al.) (OJ L 269, 17.8.2020, p. 2).

seeds, known to be suscep tible to the specifi ed pest.
(7) The names of certain plants in Annex es I and II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201 should be updated to

(8) For purposes of clarity and accuracy , the authors should be added in the names of certain genera and species in 
Annex es I and II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201, where those indications were missing.
(9) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201 should theref ore be amended according ly.
