COMMI SSION IMPLEMENTING DIRECTIVE 2014/78/EU 
of 17 June 2014 
amending Annexe s I, II, III, IV and 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, 
After consulting the Member States concer ned, 
Whereas: 
(1) In view of increased international trade and in order to prot ect plants, plant products and other objects, it is tech­
nically justif ied, consistent with the pest risk involved, to add the harmful organisms Agrilus anxius Gor y and 
Anthonomus eugenii Cano to Section I of Part A of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC. 
(2) In order to prot ect the production and the trade of plants, plant products and other objects, it is technically justi ­
fied, consistent with the pest risk involved, to delet e the harmful organisms Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, Citrus 
greening bacterium and Diaphor ina citri Kuwa y from Section I of Part A of Annex II of Directive 2000/29/EC and 
to add them to Section I of Part A of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC. 
(3)  The presence of the harmful organisms Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Stei ner and Bührer) Nickle et al. and Trioza 
erytreae Del Guercio poses an unacceptable risk to the production and the trade of plants, plant products and 
other objects. Theref ore, it is technically justified, consistent with the pest risk involved, to move those harmful 
organisms, from Annex II to Directive 2000/29/EC to Annex I thereto. Information submitte d by Portugal shows 
that those harmful organisms are now kno wn to occur within the Union. Consequently , they should be added to 
Section II of Part A of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC. 
(4)  It is technically justified, consist ent with the pest risk involved to delet e the harmful organism Monilinia fructicola 
(Wint er) Honey from Section I of Part A of Annex I and Cibor inia camelliae Kohn from Section I of Part A of 
Annex II to Directive 2000/29/EC since those harmful organisms have spread and are established within a large 
part of the Union, and no measures are feasible to eradicat e them or contain their further spread. 
(5)  It is technically justified, consistent with the pest risk involved to delete the organism Citrus vein enation woody 
gall from Section II of Part A of Annex II to Directive 2000/29/EC given its obser ved low impact. 
(6)  Certain plants, plant products and other objects are likely to host the following harmful organisms Agrilus anxius 
Gor y, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, Amaur omyza maculosa (Malloch ), Anthonomus eugenii Cano, Bemisia tabaci Genn. 
(non-European populations), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Stei ner and Bührer) Nick le et al., Citrus greening 
bacte rium, Diaphor ina citri Kuwa y, Dityl enchus dipsaci (Kühn) Filipjev , Helicover pa armigera (Hübner), Liriomyza huido ­
brensis (Blanchard), Liriomyza sativae (Blanchard), Liriomyza trifolii (Burg ess), Spodopter a eridania (Cramer), Spodopter a 
frugiper da Smith, Spodopter a litura (Fabricius), Spodopter a littor alis (Boisd.) and Trioza erytreae Del Guercio whic h are 
listed or are to be listed in Part A of Annexes I or II to Directive 2000/29/EC. Developments in scientific and 
technical kno wledge, show that the special requirements set out in Part A of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC 
are inadequate to reduce to an accepta ble level, the phytosan itary risk caused by the introduction of those plants, 
plant products and other objects into the Union, and their movement within the Union. Theref ore it is necessar y 24.6.2014 L 183/23 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN     
(1)OJ L 169, 10.7.2000, p. 1. to amend those special requirements and to add additional special requirements. In the case of Bursaphelenchus 
xylophilus (Steiner and Bührer) Nickle et al. the special requirements set out in Section I of Part A of Annex IV to 
Directive 2000/29/EC should also be amended to align them with Union rules on internal movement against this 
harmful organism. 
(7)  As regards certain plants, plant products and other objects not liste d in Part A of Annex IV to Directive 
2000/29/EC, developments in scientific and technical kno wledge, show that their introduction into the Union, 
and their movement within the Union may pose an unaccep table phytosan itary risk due to their likelihood to 
host the harmful organisms referred to in recital 6. Theref ore it is necessar y that those plants, plant products and 
other objects should be listed in Part A of Annex IV. 
(8)  In addition, the plants, plant products or other objects referred to in recital 6 should be subject to plant health 
inspections before being introduced, or moved within, the Union. Theref ore, those plants, plant products and 
other objects should be listed in Parts A and B of Annex V to Directive 2000/29/EC. 
(9)  Frequent interceptions at impor t of Manihot esculenta Crantz, of Limnophila L. and Eryngium L., and of Capsicum L. 
have shown that the leav es of Manihot esculenta Crantz, the leafy vegetables of Limnophila L. and Eryngium L., and 
the fruits of Capsicum L. are likely to host harmful organisms liste d in Annexes I and II to Directive 2000/29/EC. 
Theref ore those plants should be subject to a plant health inspection before being introduced into the Union and 
their introduction should only be permitted if they are accompan ied by a phytosan itary certificate. Consequently , 
they should be liste d in Section I of Part B of Annex V. 
(10)  Taking into account the revised FAO Intern ational Standard for Phyt osanitar y Measures No. 15 ‘Regulation of 
wood packag ing mat erial in international trade’ it is considered that the current approach in Directive 
2000/29/EC to impose different requirements, depending on whether the wood packag ing mater ial is actually in 
use or not, should be abandoned, since this approach is not anymore technically justif ied. Section I of Part A of 
Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended according ly. 
(11)  Similarly , wood used to wedge or suppor t all types of cargo should be considered a type of wood packag ing 
mate rial, in line with the definitions in the International Standard for Phyt osanitar y Measures No. 15, since there 
is no technical justification anymore for regulating it separately from other types of wood packaging mate rial. 
Section I of Part A of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended according ly 
(12)  It is considered that the formulation of the phytosanitar y requirements based on a heat treatment of wood and 
isolat ed bark need to be amended to clarify that the requested heating time refers to continuous minute s, and 
that the request ed temperature needs to be achi eved throughout the entire prof ile of the wood or isolated bark in 
order to reac h successful elimination of wood-infesting harmful orga nisms. Section I of Part A of Annex IV to 
Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended according ly. 
(13)  The CN codes for conif erous wood need to be update d in Part B of Annex V to Directive 2000/29/EC, to cover 
conif erous wood of a thickness not exceeding 6 mm, which according to a recent pest risk analysis also poses a 
risk for the introduction of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner and Bührer) Nickle et al.. 
(14)  The names of Pseudomonas solanacear um (Smith) Smith, Lycopersicon lycopersicum (L.) Karsten ex Farw. and citrus 
greening bacte rium should be amended in line with the revised scientific denomination of those organism. Pseu ­
domonas solanacear um (Smith) Smith should be refer red to as Ralstonia solanacear um (Smith) Yabuuchi et al.. Lycope r­
sicon lycopersicum (L.) Karsten ex Farw. should be refer red to as Solanum lycopersicum L.. The Citrus greening 
bacte rium should be refer red to as Candidatus Liber ibact er spp., causal agent of Huang longbing disease of citrus/ 
citrus greening. 
(15)  Council Directive 2007/33/EC (1) establishes measures to be taken against European populations of potato cyst 
nematod es (Globoder a pallida (Ston e) Behrens and Globoder a rostochiensis (Wollenwe ber) Behrens) in order to deter­
mine their distr ibution, to prevent their spread and to control them. The current provisions of Directive 
2000/29/EC concer ning potato cyst nematod es (Globoder a pallida (Stone ) Behrens and Globoder a rostochiensis 
(Wollenwe ber) Behrens) should be updated to align with the requirements of Directive 2007/33/EC. Annex es IV 
and V to Directive 2000/29/EC should theref ore be amended according ly. 24.6.2014 L 183/24 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN     
(1)Council Directive 2007/33/EC of 11 June 2007 on the control of potat o cyst nematodes and repealing Directive 69/464/EEC, OJ L 156, 
16.6.2007, p. 12. (16)  By Commission Regulation (EC) No 690/2008 (1), certain zones are recognised as prot ected zones in respect of 
various harmful orga nisms. Regulation (EC) No 690/2008 has been amended to take account of the lates t devel ­
opments with regard to the protect ed zones within the Union and the following harmful organisms: Citrus tris­
teza virus (European strains), Erwinia amylovor a (Bur r.) Winsl. et al. and Grapevine flavescence dorée MLO. It is 
theref ore necessar y to amend Annex es I to V to Directive 2000/29/EC according ly, to ensure that the require ­
ments concer ning protect ed zones with regar d to the respective harmful organisms are consistent. 
(17)  Moreo ver, several areas within the Union whic h have been recognised as prote cted zones with regard to certain 
harmful organisms, no longer fulfil the requirements because those harmful organisms are now established there. 
Those areas are the following: the autonomous communities of Castilla la Manc ha, Murcia, Navar ra and La Rioja, 
and the Comarca of the Community of Calata yud (Aragon) and the province of Guipuzcoa (Basque Countr y) 
(Spain), Friuli- Venezia Giulia and the province of Sondr io (Lombardy) (Italy), the communes of Ohrady , Topoľníky 
and Trhová Hradská (Slovakia) with regar d to Erwinia amylovor a (Bur r.) Winsl. et al.; the Regional Unit of Argolida 
and Chania (Greece), Corsica (France) and Algar ve (Portugal) with regar d to Citrus tristeza virus (European 
strains). Part B of Annex II, Part B of Annex III and Part B of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be 
amended according ly. 
(18)  In order to protect the production and trade of plants, plant products and other objects, it is technically justified, 
consiste nt with the pest risk involved, to add the harmful organisms Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu and Thau ­
matopoea processionea L. to Part B of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC. 
(19)  From information provided by Ireland, Portugal and the Unit ed Kingdom it appears that the territories of these 
countr ies are free from Dryoco smus kuriphilus Yasumatsu, and that those territori es fulfil the conditions set out in 
point (h) of Article 2(1) of Directive 2000/29/EC for the establishment of a protect ed zone with respect to that 
harmful organism. Part B of Annex I and Part B of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended 
according ly. Similarly , Part B of Annex IV and Part A of Annex V to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended to 
introduce requirements for the movement of certain plants, plant products and other objects into the prot ected 
zones. 
(20)  From information provided by Ireland and the United Kingdom it appears that the territory of Ireland and part of 
the territory of the Unit ed Kingdom are free from Thaumatopoea processionea L., and that those areas 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 that harmful organism. Part B of Annex I and Part B of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should 
be amended according ly. Similarly , Part B of Annex IV and Part A of Annex V to Directive 2000/29/EC should be 
amended to introduce requirements for the movement of certain plants, plant products and other objects into the 
prot ected zones. 
(21) From a recent pest risk analysis carried out by France it emerg es that Ips amitinus Eichhof does not pose an unac ­
ceptab le phyt osanitar y risk in Corsica (France). Theref ore Corsica should be remo ved from the list of prote cted 
zones with regard to this harmful organism. Part B of Annex II and Part B of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC 
should be amended according ly. 
(22)  From information provided by the Unit ed Kingdom it appears that Cryphonectr ia parasitica (Mur rill) Barr is not 
present in the Isle of Man, and that the Isle of Man fulfils the conditions set out in point (h) of Article 2(1) of Dir­
ective 2000/29/EC for the establishment of a protect ed zone with respect to that harmful organism. Part B of 
Annex II and Part B of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended according ly. 
(23)  A recent pest risk analysis shows that the current requirements for introduction into, and movement within, 
certain protect ed zones of plants, plant products and other objects with regard to Cryphonectr ia parasitica (Mur rill) 
Barr are inadequate to reduce the phytosanitar y risk in question to accepta ble levels. Those requirements should 
be updat ed. Part B of Annex II, Part B of Annex IV, Section II of Part A of Annex V and Section II of Part B of 
Annex V to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended according ly. 
(24)  From information provided by France and Italy , it appears that Picardie (dépar tement de l'Aisne) and Ile de France 
(communes de Citry, Nanteu il-sur -Mar ne et Saâcy-sur -Mar ne) and Apulia are free from Grapevine flavescence 
dorée MLO, and they fulfil the conditions set out in point (h) of Article 2(1) of Directive 2000/29/EC for the 
establishment of a protect ed zone with respect to that harmful organism. Part B of Annex II and Part B of Annex 
IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended according ly. 24.6.2014 L 183/25 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN     
(1)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. (25)  From information provided by Switzerland it appears that Switzerland (except the Cant on of Ticino and the 
Miso x Valley ) is free from Grapevine flavescence dorée MLO. It is theref ore appropr iate to include Switzerland 
(except the Canton of Ticino and the Miso x Valley ) as an area wherefrom plants of Vitis L. may be introduced 
into protect ed zones in respect of the organism. Part B of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended 
according ly. 
(26)  Directive 2000/29/EC should theref ore be amended according ly. 
(27)  The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committ ee on 
Plant Health,
