of XXX  
amending Annexes I to V to Council Directive 2000/29/EC on protective measures 
against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant 
products and against their spread within the Community  
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,  
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the Euro pean Union , 
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures 
against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products 
and against their spread within the Community1, and in particular points (c) and (d) of the 
second paragraph of Article 14 thereof,  
Whereas:  
(1) Following the recently published revision of  the respective scientific denomination , 
Anoplophora malasiaca  (Forster)  is considered a synonym of Anoplophora chinensis  
(Thomson), already included in Section I of Part A of Annex I to Directive 
2000/29/EC . Therefore , Anoplophora malasiaca  (Forster)  should be deleted from 
Section I of Part A of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC . 
(2) With a view  to protect ing plants, plant produc ts and other objects, in light of increased 
international trade and following pest risk assessment s performed and recently 
published by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organisation , it is 
technically justified and consistent with the pest r isks involved to add the harmful 
organisms Bactericera cockerelli  (Sulc.), Keiferia lycopersicella  (Walsingham), 
Saperda candida  Fabricius and Thaumatotibia leucotreta  (Meyrick) to Section I of 
Part A of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC.  
(3) It is technically justified to delete Xylella fastidiosa  (Well and Raju)  from Section I of 
Part A of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC  and add it to Section II of that Part as this 
harmful organism is known to occur in the Union.  
(4) The p resence of the harmful organism  Xanthomonas campestris  (all strains pathogenic 
to Citrus)  poses an unacceptable risk to the production and the trade of plants, plant 
products and other objects. In addition, the strains of Xanthomonas campestris  
pathogenic to citrus have been rec lassified. Xanthomonas citri  pv. citri and 
Xanthomonas citri  pv. aurantifolii  are the causal agents of citrus canker disease. 
Therefore, it is scientifically justified and consistent with the p est risk involved to 
delete  Xanthomonas campestris  in Section I of Part A of Annex II to Directive 
2000/29/EC  and include it in  Section I of Part A of Annex I to  that Directive  under the 
names  Xanthomonas citri  pv. aurantifolii and Xanthomonas citri  pv. citri. 
(5) Following the revision of the respective scientific denomination , the harmful organism 
Guignardia citricarpa  Kiely (all strains pathogenic to Citrus)  has been renamed 
Phyllosticta citricarpa  (McAlpine) Van der Aa , the causal agent of citrus black spot . It 
                                                 
1 OJ L 169, 10.7.2000 , p. 1. EN 3   EN also poses an unacceptable risk to the pr oduction and the trade of plants, plant 
products and other objects.  Therefore, it is technically justified and consistent with the 
pest risk involved to move th at harmful organism from Section I of Part A of Annex II 
to Directive 2000/29/EC  to Section I of  Part A of Annex I to that Directive and rename 
it Phyllosticta citricarpa  (McAlpine) Van der Aa.  
(6) The typographic mistakes regarding the scientific names of the harmful organisms 
Phyloostic ta solitaria  Ell. and Ev.  and Popilia japonica Newman  in Section I of Part I 
of Annex I  to Directive 2000/29/EC  and Aleurocantus spp. and Aonidella  citrina  
Couillet in Section I of Part I of Annex II to that Directive should be corrected and 
replaced by Phyllostic ta solitaria  Ellis & Everhart , Popillia japon ica Newman , 
Aleurocanthus spp. and Aonidiella  citrina  Couillet  respectively.  Similarly, t he 
typographic mistake in the scientific denomination of Zea mays  L. should  also be 
corrected in all annexes where reference is made to that species.  The typographic 
mistake in the scientific denomination  of Amiris  P. Browne in Section I of Part B of 
Annex V to that Directive should be replaced by Amyris  P. Browne . 
(7) Following the recently published revision of the respective scientific denomination, 
Elm phlöem necrosis mycoplasm has been renamed ' Candidatus Phytoplasma ulmi'. In 
addition, it is technically justified to delete that organism from Section I of Part A of 
Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC  (where it is listed as Elm phlöem necrosis 
mycoplasm) and include it in Section II of that Part as ' Candidatus Phytoplasma ulmi' 
as this harmful organism is known to occur in the Union. This is in accordance with 
the pest categorisation of the pest, perfo rmed by the European Food Safety Authority 
(EFSA)2. The new name should also be reflected in Annex IV to Directive 
2000/29/EC . 
(8) It is technically justified and consistent with the pest risk involved to delete the 
harmful organism Potato spindle tuber viroid  from Sec tion I of Part A of Annex I to 
Directive 2000/29/EC , since th at harmful organism ha s spread and is established in a 
number of host plants within a large part of the Union . The pest is included in Section 
II of Part A of Annex II to that Directive  in order to protect the commodities that are 
currently free and where its presence would pose a significant risk and causes 
significant losses.  
(9) Following the recently published revision of the respective scientific denomination , 
the harmful organism Xantho monas campestris pv. pruni (Smith) Dye should be  
renamed  Xanthomonas  arboricola  pv. pruni  (Smith) Vauterin et al.  
(10) The special  requirements for wood included in Section I  of Part A of Annex  IV to 
Directive 2000/29/EC should be  revised  in order to align them  with the relevant 
International Standard of Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM 15) and further clarify them . 
In addition , the exemption of wood packing material from the specific requirements 
for wood of Platanus  L. in that Section  should be updated  as it was o mitted in the last 
amendment  of that Section .  
(11) It is technically acceptable , on the  basis of  scientific and technical knowledge, to 
include special requirements for the introduction of certain plants , plant products and 
other objects  into the Union  due to their likelihood of hosting the harmful organisms 
                                                 
2 EFSA PLH Panel (EFSA Panel on Plant Health), 2014. Scientific Opinion on the pest categorisation of 
Elm phloem necrosis mycoplasm. EFSA Journal 2014;12(7):3773, 34 pp. doi:10.2903/j.efsa.2014.3773  EN 4   EN referred to  in recital  (2). Therefore , the relevant  plants, plant products and other 
objects should be l isted in Part A of Annex IV  to Directive 2000/29 /EC. 
(12) In respect  of the harmful organisms referred to  in recitals  (4), (5), and (7 ) it is 
necessary to amend  the special requirements set out in Part A of Annex IV to 
Directive 2000/29/EC due to d evelopments in sci entific and technical knowledge  and 
the recently published pest risk assessments carried out by EFSA.  The aim of the 
amended requirements  is to reduce the phytosanitary risk caused by the introduction 
into the Union of those plants, plant products and other objects originating in third 
countries  to an acceptable level .  
(13) Following pest risk ass essments, it is technically justified and consistent with the risks 
associated with the harmful organism Trioza erytreae  Del Guercio to add Murraya 
J.Koenig ex L. to the list of  host plants of that harmful organism in the relevant points 
in Sections I and II of Part A of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC. Furthermore, 
Choisya  Kunt should  be included  in the list of host plants of that harmful organism 
following the findings in Member States . The special requirements for the import into 
and movement within the  Union of the host plants in the relevant points in Sections I 
and II of Part A of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should  be amended .  
(14) In addition, the plants, plant products or other objects referred to in recitals  (10) to 
(13) should be subject to plant  health inspections before being introdu ced into or 
moved within the Union. Therefore, those plants, plant products and other objects 
should be listed in Part A or B of Annex V to Directive 2000/29/EC . 
(15) The CN codes for wood set out  in Annex V to Directive 2000/29/EC  should be 
updated in order to align them with the current CN codes  used in Council Regulation 
(EEC) No 2658/873 as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 
2016 /18214. 
(16) In accordance with  Commission Regulation (EC) No 690/20085 certain zones have 
been  recognised as protected zones in respect of various harmful organisms. That 
Regulation has recently been amended to take account of the latest developments with 
regard to the protected  zones within the Union and the following harmful organi sms: 
Bemisia tabaci  Genn. (European populations), Candidatus  Phytoplasma ulmi, 
Ceratocystis platani (J.M.Walter) Engelbr. & T.C.Harr., Citrus tristeza virus 
(European strains), Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens  (Hedges) Col., 
Dryocosmus kuriphilus  Yasumatsu, Erwinia amylovora  (Burr.) Winsl. et al ., 
Globodera pallida (Stone) Behrens, Globodera rostochiensis (Wollenweber) Behrens, 
Paysandisia archon (Burmeister), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier), 
Thaumetopoea pityocampa Denis & Schifferm üller,  Thaumetopoea processionea L., 
Tomato spotted wilt virus and Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni (Smith) Vauterin  et 
al. In order to ensure that the requirements concerning protected zones with regard to 
the respective harmful organisms are consistent , the relevant requirements in Annexes 
I to V to Directive 2000/29/EC  should  be updated .  
                                                 
3 Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on 
the Common Customs Tariff  (OJ L 256, 7.9.1987, p. 1 ). 
4 Commission Implementing Regulation (E U) 201 6/1821 of 6 October 201 6 amending Annex I to 
Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common 
Customs Tariff (OJ L 2 94, 28.10.201 6, p. 1 ). 
5 Commission Regulation (EC) No 690/2008 of 4 July 2008 recognising protected zones exposed to 
particular plant health risks in the Community (OJ L 193, 22.7.2008, p. 1 ). EN 5   EN (17) Moreover, several areas within the Union that have been recognised as protected zones 
with regard to certain harmful organisms no longer fulfil the requirements because  
those harmful organisms have be come  established there or the Member States 
concerned requested that the status as a protected zone be revoked. Those areas are the 
following: the region of Ribatejo e Oeste in Portugal with regard to Bemisia tabaci 
Genn. (E uropean populations); the county of Odemira in Alentejo in Portugal with 
regard to Citrus tristeza virus (European strains); the territory of Portugal with regard 
to Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens (Hedges) Col. and Dryocosmus 
kuriphilus Yasumatsu; the autonomous communities of Andalucía and Madrid and the 
districts (Comarcas) of Segrià, Noguera, Pla d'Urgell, Garrigues and Urgell in the 
province of Lleida (Comunidad autonoma de Catalunya) in Spain; the provinces of 
Milano and Varese (Lomb ardy) and the communes of Busca, Centallo and Tarantasca 
in the province of Cuneo (Piedmont)  in Italy; the townlands of Ballinran Upper, 
Carrigenagh Upper, Ballinran, and Carrigenagh in County Down, and the Electoral 
Area of Dunmurry Cross in Belfast, Coun ty Antrim (Northern Ireland) in the United 
Kingdom and the entire territory of the county of Dunajská Streda in Slovakia with 
regard to Erwinia amylovora  (Burr.) Winsl. et al. ; the local authority areas of 
Guildford and Woking in the United Kingdom with re gard to Thaumetopoea 
processionea L. and  the territory of Finland with regard to Tomato spotted wilt virus . 
This should  be reflected in Part B of Annexes I to IV to Directive 2000/29/EC.  
(18) The mistake s in the delimitation of the protected zone s for Leptinot arsa decemlineata 
Say in Finland and Sweden  in Part B of Annex I to Directive 2000/29 /EC should be  
corrected and brought in line with Regulation (EC) No 690/2008.  
(19) In order to protect the production and trade of plants, plant products and other objects, 
it is technically justified  and consistent with the pest risk involved to add the harmful 
organism Globodera rostochiensis (Wollenweber) Behrens to Part B of Annex I  to 
Directive 2000/29/EC  and Paysandisia archon (Burmeister), Rhynchophorus 
ferrugineus (Olivi er), Thaumetopoea pityocampa Denis & Schiffermüller and 
Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni (Smith) Vauterin  et al.  to Part B of Annex II to that 
Directive . 
(20) From information provided by Portugal , it appears that the territory of the Azores is 
free from  Globodera pallida (Stone) Behrens, Globodera rostochiensis (Wollenweber) 
Behrens and Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier)  and that the Azores 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. Part B of 
Annex es I, II and IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended accordingly. 
Similarly, Part B of Annex IV and Part A of Annex V to that Directive should be 
amended in order to introduce requirem ents for the movement of certain plants, plant 
products and other objects into the protected zones.  
(21) From information provided by Ireland, Malta and the United Kingdom , it appears that 
the territories of th ose Member States  are free from  Paysandisia archon (Burmeister)  
and that those territories fulfil the conditions set out in point (h) of Article 2(1) of 
Directive 2000/29/EC for the establishment of a protected zone with respect to that 
harmful organism. Part B of Annex es II and IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be 
amended accordingly. Similarly, Part B of Annex IV and Part A of Annex V to that 
Directive should be amended in order to introduce requirements for the movement of 
certain plants, plant products and other objects into the protected zones.  EN 6   EN (22) From in formation provided by Ireland and the United Kingdom , it appears that the 
territories of th ose Member States  are free from  Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier)  
and that those territories fulfil the conditions set out in point (h) of Article 2(1) of 
Directiv e 2000/29/EC for the establishment of a protected zone with respect to that 
harmful organism. Part B of Annex es II and IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be 
amended accordingly. Similarly, Part B of Annex IV and Part A of Annex V to that 
Directive should be  amended in order to introduce requirements for the movement of 
certain plants, plant products and other objects into the protected zones.  
(23) From information provided by the United Kingdom , it appears that its territory is free 
from Thaumetopoea pityocampa Denis & Schiffermüller and Xanthomonas arboricola 
pv. pruni (Smith) Vauterin  et al. and that it  fulfils the conditions set out in point (h) of 
Article 2(1) of Directive 2000/29/EC for the establishment of a protected zone with 
respect to those harmful organisms. Part B of Annex es II and IV to Directive 
2000/29/EC should be amended accordingly. Simil arly, Part B of Annex IV and Part 
A of Annex V to that Directive should be amended in order to introduce requirements 
for the movement of certain plants, plant products and other objects into the protected 
zones.  
(24) From information provided by Ireland , it ap pears that its territory is free from  
Ceratocystis platani  (J.M. Walter) Engelbr. & T.C. Harr.  and that it fulfils the 
conditions set out in point (h) of Article 2(1) of Directive 2000/29/EC for the 
establishment of a protected zone with respect to that ha rmful organism. Part B of 
Annex es II and IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended accordingly.  
(25) A recent pest risk analysis shows that the current requirements for the introduction 
into the Union  and movement within  the Union  of certain protected zones  of plants, 
plant products and other objects with regard to Bemisia tabaci Genn. (European 
populations) and Daktulosphaira vitifoliae (Fitch)  are inadequate to reduce the 
phytosanitary risk in question  to acceptable levels. Those requirements should be 
reformulated  in Part B of Annex IV  to Directive 2000/29/EC .  
(26) Annex es I to  V to Directive 2000/29/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.  
(27) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the 
Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed ,
