COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DIRECTIVE (EU) 2019/523 
of 21 March 2019 
amending Annex es I to V to Council Directiv e 2000/29/EC on protectiv e measures against the 
introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against 
their spread within the Community 
THE EUR OPEAN COMMISSION, 
Having regar d to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, 
Having regar d to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on prote ctive 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 points (c) and (d) of the second paragraph of Article 14 thereof, 
Whereas: 
(1)  With a view to protecting plants, plant products and other objects, in light of increased intern ational trade and 
follo wing pest risk assessments perf ormed and recently published by the European and Mediterr anean Plant 
Prote ction Org anisation, it is technically justif ied and consistent with the pest risks involved to add the harmful 
organisms Aromia bungii (Falder mann), Neoleucinodes elegantalis (Guenée) and Oemona hirta (Fabricius) to Section I 
of Part A of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC. 
(2)  Followin g the pest risk catego risation performed and recently published by the European Food Safety Author ity 
(‘the Auth ority’), the hosts and pathwa ys of entr y in the Union of the harmful organism Enar monia pack ardi 
(Zeller) are wider than the ones currently regulat ed in Section I of Part A of Annex II to Directive 2000/29/EC. 
Followin g a revision of the respective scientific denomination, the harmful organism has been renamed to 
Grapholita pack ardi (Zeller). Theref ore, it is scientificall y justif ied and consistent with the pest risk involved to 
delet e the entr y on Enar monia packard i (Zeller) from Section I of Part A of Annex II to Directive 2000/29/EC and 
to include it in Section I of Part A of Annex I to that Directive under the denomination Grapholita pack ardi 
(Zeller). 
(3)  In the pest risk categor isation performe d and recently published by the Author ity, the species of Elsinoe 
spp. Bitanc. and Jenk. Mendes, currently included in Section I of Part A of Annex II to Directive 2000/29/EC, 
causal agents of disease to Citrus L. Fortunella Swing le, Poncir us Raf., and their hybr ids, have been further defined. 
Additionally , based on the pest risk categor isation and the recent inter ceptions on fruits, it is evident that the list 
of currently regulated commodities does not mitigat e all risks related to these harmful orga nisms. Theref ore, it is 
scientifically and technically justif ied and consistent with the pest risk involved to delet e the entr y on Elsinoe 
spp. Bitanc. and Jenk. Mendes from Section I of Part A of Annex II to Directive 2000/29/EC and to include in 
Section I of Part A of Annex I to that Directive the species Elsinoë austr alis Bitanc. & Jenk ., Elsinoë citricola X.L. Fan, 
R.W . Barreto & Crous and Elsinoë fawcettii Bitanc. & Jenk. causal agents of disease to Citrus L. Fortunella Swing le, 
Poncir us Raf., and their hybrids. 
(4)  With a view to protecting plants, plant products and other objects, in light of increased intern ational trade and 
follo wing pest risk assessments performed and recently published by the Author ity and the European and 
Medite rranean Plant Prot ection Organisation, it is technically justified and consist ent with the pest risks involved 
to add the harmful organisms Fusar ium circinatum Nirenberg & O'Donnell and Geosmithia morbida Kolarík, 
Freeland, Utley & Tisserat and its vect or Pityop hthor us juglandis Blackman to Section II of Part A of Annex I to the 
Directive 2000/29/EC. These harmful organisms are currently present in the European Union and have 
a restr icted distr ibution. 
(5)  Followin g the pest risk assessments performe d and recently published by the Auth ority, it is scientificall y and 
technically justified and consiste nt with the pest risk involved to delete Ceratocystis platani (J. M. Walter) Enge lbr. & 
T. C. Harr from Section II of Part A of Annex II to Directive 2000/29/EC and to include it in Section II of Part A 
of Annex I to that Directive. 28.3.2019 L 86/41 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN     
(1)OJ L 169, 10.7.2000, p. 1. (6)  With a view to protecting plants, plant products and other objects, in light of increased intern ational trade and 
follo wing the pest risk assessment performe d and published by the Auth ority on soil and growin g media and the 
relevant Internati onal Standards, it is scientifi cally justif ied and consiste nt with the pest risks involved to 
strengthen the requirements for soil and growing media through revising the relevant requirements in Annex III, 
in Section I of Part A of Annex IV and in Annex V to Directive 2000/29/EC. 
(7)  In order to prot ect the production and trade of plants, plant products and other objects, it is technically justified 
and consiste nt with the pest risk involved to add the harmful organisms Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanch ard) and 
Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess) to Part B of Annex I to that Directive. 
(8)  From information provided by Ireland and the United Kingdom it appears that the territories of Ireland and 
Nor ther n Ireland, respectively , are free from Liriomyza huidobr ensis (Blanc hard) and Liriomyza trifolii (Burg ess) and 
that Ireland and Nor ther n Ireland fulfil the conditions set out in point (h) of Article 2(1) of Directive 2000/29/EC 
for the establishment of a prot ected zone with respect to those harmful organisms. Theref ore, Part B of Annex I 
to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended according ly. 
(9)  It is technically acceptable, on the basis of scientific and technical kno wledge, to include special requirements for 
the introduction and mov ement, where applicable, of certain plants, plant products and other objects into and 
within the Union due to their likelihood of hosting Aromia bungii (Falderma nn), Neoleucinodes elegantalis (Guenée) 
referred to in recital 1, Grapholita pack ardi (Zeller), refer red to in recital 2 and Geosmithia morbida Kolarík, Freeland, 
Utley & Tisserat and its vector Pityophthor us juglandis Blackman refer red to in recital 4. Theref ore, the relevant 
plants, plant products and other objects should be listed in Section I of Part A of Annex IV to Directive 
2000/29/EC. For Geosmithia morbida Kolarík, Freeland, Utley & Tisserat and its vect or Pityophthor us juglandis 
Blackma n additional special requirements should be included for internal mov ement in Section II of Part A of 
Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC. 
(10)  In respect to Ceratocysti s platani (J. M. Walter) Engelbr . & T. C. Harr refer red to in recital 5, it is necessar y to 
amend the special requirements set out in Sections I and II of Part A of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC due to 
developments in scientifi c and technical kno wledge and the recently published pest risk assessment carried out by 
the Authority. 
(11)  Based on pest risk assessment of a number of Tephr itidae species of the European and Mediterr anean Plant 
Prote ction Organisation, relevant international standards, technical information and the number of inter ceptions 
of Tephr itidae species (non-European) on impor ted commodities, the special requirements set out in Section I of 
Part A of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended. 
(12)  Based on the inter ceptions data on imp orted commodities, additional special requirements for Bacter icera cockerelli 
(Sulc.) and Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick) should be included in Section I of Part A of Annex IV to Directive 
2000/29/EC. 
(13)  Based on the pest risk cate gorisations recently performe d by the Author ity, relevant international standards and 
technical information and in view of increased internati onal trade, special requirements provided for in Section I 
of Part A of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be laid down for fruits of Malus Mill. in connection to the 
harmful organisms Enar monia pruniv ora Walsh, Grapholita inopinata Heinr ich and Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh) and 
for fruits of Malus Mill. and Pyrus L. in connection to the harmful organisms Guignar dia piricola (Nosa) Yamamoto 
and Tachypterellus quadr igibbus Say. 
(14) The aim of the amended requirements set out in recitals 9 to 13 is to reduce to an accept able level the phytosa ­
nitar y risk caused by the introduction and where relevant the mov ement into the Union of those plants, plant 
products and other objects. 
(15)  In accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 690/2008 (2) certain zones have been recognised as 
prot ected zones in respect of various harmful organisms. That Regulation has recently been amended to take into 
account the latest developments with regard to the prot ected zones within the Union and among others, to the 
follo wing harmful organisms: Bemisia tabaci Genn. (European populations), Candidatus Phyt oplasma ulmi, 
Ceratocysti s platani (J.M.W alter) Engelbr . & T.C.Har r., Citrus tristeza virus (European strains), Erwinia amyl ovora 
(Bur r.) Winsl. et al., Globoder a pallida (Stone) Behrens, Globoder a rostochiensis (Wollenweber) Behrens, Gremm eniella 
abietina (Lag.) Morelet, Liriomyza huidobr ensis (Blancha rd), Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess), Paysandisia archon (Bur meister ), 
Rhynchophor us ferrugineus (Olivier), Thaumetopoea pityocampa Denis & Schiff ermüller , Thaumetopoea processionea L., 
Tomato spott ed wilt virus and Xanthomonas arbor icola pv. pruni (Smith) Vaute rin et al. In order to ensure that the 
requirements concer ning prote cted zones with regar d to the respective harmful organisms are consiste nt, the 
relevant requirements in Annex es I to V to Directive 2000/29/EC should be updated. 28.3.2019 L 86/42 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN     
(2)Commission Regulation (EC) No 690/2008 of 4 July 2008 recognising protect ed zones exposed to particular plant health risks in the 
Community (OJ L 193, 22.7.2008, p. 1). (16)  Moreover , several areas within the Union that have been recognised as protect ed zones with regard to certain 
harmful organisms no long er fulfil the requirements because those harmful organisms have become established 
there or the Member States concer ned request ed that the status as a protect ed zone be revok ed. Those areas are 
the follo wing: the territory of Finland with regar d to Bemisia tabaci Genn. (European populations); the Regional 
Units of Arta and Lakonia in Greece with regard to Citrus tristeza virus (European strains); the entire territory of 
Emilia-R omagna, the communes of Scar nafigi and Villaf alletto in the province of Cuneo in Piedmont and the mu­
nicipalities of Cesarò (Messina Prov ince), Maniace, Bronte, Adrano (Catania Province) and Centur ipe, Regalbuto 
and Troina (Enna Province) in Sicily in Italy and the entire territory of Nor ther n Ireland in the United Kingdom 
and the entire territory of the county of Dunaj ská Streda in Slovakia with regard to Erwinia amylovor a (Bur r.) 
Winsl. et al.; the territory of Nor ther n Ireland in the Unit ed Kingdom with regar d to Gremm eniella abietina (Lag.) 
Morelet, local author ity areas of Barking and Dagenham; Basildon; Basingstok e and Deane; Bexley ; Brack nell 
Forest ; Brentwood; Broxbour ne; Castle Point ; Chelmsf ord; Chiltem; Crawle y; Dacor um; Dartford; East 
Hertfordshire; Enfield; Epping Forest ; Gravesham; Green wich; Harlow; Hart; Haveri ng; Hertsmere; Horsham;

Rushmoor; Sevenoaks; South Bedf ordshire; South Bucks; St Albans; Surrey Heath; Tandr idge; Three Rivers; 
Thur rock; Tonbr idge and Malling; Waltham Forest ; Watford; Waverley; Welwyn Hatfield; Windsor and 
Maidenhead, Wokingham and Wycombe in the Unit ed Kingdom with regar d to Thaumetopoea processionea L. and 
the territory of Sweden with regard to Tomato spott ed wilt virus. This information should be reflected in Part B 
respectively of Annex es I to IV to Directive 2000/29/EC. 
(17)  Continued findings of Bemisia tabaci Genn. (European populations) on certain plants and plant products move d 
within the Union into certain prot ected zones show that the current requirements for the move ment within the 
Union into certain prot ected zones of plants, plant products and other objects with regard to Bemisia tabaci Genn. 
(European populations) are inadequate to reduce the phytosanitar y risk in question to accepta ble levels. Those 
requirements should be reformulated in Part B of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC. 
(18)  The plants, plant products or other objects refer red to in recitals 6 to 17 should be subject to plant health 
inspections before being introduced into or move d within the Union. Theref ore, those plants, plant products and 
other objects should be listed in Parts A or B of Annex V to Directive 2000/29/EC. Additionally , in view of 
having an increased phyt osanitar y protection, fruits of Acti nidia Lindl., Carica papay a L., Fragaria L., Persea 
amer icana Mill., Rubus L. and Vitis L. are listed in Part B of Annex V to Directive 2000/29/EC, and for fruits of 
Annona L., Cydonia Mill., Diosp yros L., Malus L., Mangifer a L., Passif lora L., Prunus L., Psidium L., Pyrus L., Ribes L., 
Syzygium Gaer tn. and Vaccinium L., already listed in Part B of Annex V to Directive 2000/29/EC, the geographical 
scope has been broadened. 
(19)  Annex es I to V to Directive 2000/29/EC should theref ore be amended according ly.
