COMMI SSION IMPLEMENTING DIRECTIVE (EU) 2017/1279 
of 14 July 2017 
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)  Follo wing the recently published revision of the respective scientifi c denomination, Anoplophor a malasiaca (Forster) 
is considered a synon ym of Anoplophor a chinensis (Thomson), already included in Section I of Part A of Annex I 
to Directive 2000/29/EC. Theref ore, Anoplophor a malasiaca (Forster) should be deleted from Section I of Part A of 
Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC. 
(2)  With a view to prote cting plants, plant products and other objects, in light of increased intern ational trade 
and following pest risk assessments perf ormed and recently published by the European and Mediterr anean 
Plant Protection Org anisation, it is technically justified and consistent with the pest risks involved to add the 
harmful organisms Bacter icera cockerelli (Sulc.), Keiferia lycopersicella (Walsingham), Saper da candida Fabricius and 
Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Mey rick) to Section I of Part A of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC. 
(3)  It is technically justified to delet e Xylella fastidiosa (Wells et al.) 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 presence of the harmful organism Xanthomonas campestr is (all strains pathogen ic to Citrus) poses an 
unaccep table risk to the production and the trade of plants, plant products and other objects. In addition, the 
strains of Xanthomonas campestr is pathogenic to citrus have been reclassif ied. Xanthomonas citri pv. citri and 
Xanthomonas citri pv. aurantifolii are the causal agents of citrus canker disease. Theref ore, it is scientifical ly justif ied 
and consist ent with the pest risk involved to delet e Xanthomonas campestr is 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. aurantifo lii and Xanthomonas citri pv. citri. 
(5)  Follo wing the revision of the respective scientific denomination, the harmful organism Guignar dia citricarpa Kiely  
(all strains pathogen ic to Citrus) has been renamed Phyl losticta citricarpa (McAlpine) Van der Aa, the causal agent of 
citrus blac k spot. It also poses an unacceptable risk to the production and the trade of plants, plant products and 
other objects. Theref ore, it is technically justif ied and consistent with the pest risk involved to move that 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 Phyl losticta citricarpa (McAlpine) Van der Aa. 
(6)  The typographic mistakes regarding the scientifi c names of the harmful organisms Phyl oosticta solitar ia Ell. and Ev. 
and Popilia japonica Newman in Sections I and II, respectively , of Part A of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC and 
Aleur ocantus spp. and Aonidella citrina Coquillet in Section I of Part A of Annex II to that Directive should be 
correcte d and replaced, as applicable, by Phyl losticta solitar ia Ellis & Everhar t, Popillia japonica Newman, 
Aleur ocanthus spp. and Aonidiella citrina Coquillet respectively . Similarly , typographic mistakes in the scientifi c 
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 Amir is P. Browne in Section I of Part B of Annex V to that 
Directive should be corrected and replaced by Amyr is P. Browne. 15.7.2017 L 184/33 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN     
(1)OJ L 169, 10.7.2000, p. 1. (7)  Follo wing the recently published revision of the respective scientific denomination, Elm phlöem necrosis 
mycoplasm has been renamed ‘Candidatus Phyt oplasma ulmi’. In addition, it is technically justif ied to delet e that 
organism from Section I of Part A of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC (where it is liste d as Elm phlöem necrosis 
mycoplasm) and include it in Section II of that Part as ‘Candidatus Phytopl asma ulmi’ as this harmful organism is 
kno wn to occur in the Union. This is in accordance with the pest catego risation of the orga nism, perf ormed by 
the European Food Safety Author ity (EFSA ) (1). The new name should also be reflected in Annex IV to Directive 
2000/29/EC. 
(8)  It is technically justif ied and consistent with the pest risk involved to delete the harmful organism Potato spindle 
tuber viroid from Section I of Part A of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC, since that harmful organism has 
spread and is established in a number of host plants within a large part of the Union. The organism is included 
in Section II of Part A of Annex II to that Directive in order to prot ect the commodities that are currently free 
and where its presence would pose a signif icant risk and causes signif icant losses. 
(9)  Follo wing the recently published revision of the respective scientifi c denomination, the harmful organism 
Xanthomonas campestr is pv. pruni (Smith) Dye should be renamed Xanthomonas arbor icola 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 Intern ational Standard of Phyt osanitar y Measures (ISPM 15) 
and further clarify them. In addition, the exem ption of wood packi ng mat erial from the specifi c requirements for 
wood of Platanus L. in that Section should be updat ed as it was omitt ed in the last amendment of that Section. 
(11)  It is technically accept able, on the basis of scientific and technical kno wledge, 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 referred to in recital (2). Theref ore, the relevant plants, plant products and other 
objects should be liste d 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 necessar y to amend the special 
requirements set out in Part A of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC due to developments in scientifi c and 
technical knowledge and the recently published pest risk assessments carried out by EFSA. The aim of the 
amended requirements is to reduce the phytosanitar y risk caused by the introduction into the Union of those 
plants, plant products and other objects originating in third countr ies to an accept able level. 
(13)  Follo wing pest risk assessments, it is technically justified and consiste nt with the risks associated with the harmful 
organism Trioza erytreae Del Guercio to add Mur raya 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. Further more, 
Choisy a Kunt should be included in the list of host plants of that harmful organism following the findings in 
Member State s. Theref ore, 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 refer red to in recitals (10) to (13) should be subject to 
plant health inspections before being introduced into or moved within the Union. Theref ore, 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 updat ed in order to align them 
with the current CN codes used in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (2) as amended by Commission 
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1821 (3). 15.7.2017 L 184/34 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN

(3)Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1821 of 6 October 2016 amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 
on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Cust oms Tariff (OJ L 294, 28.10.2016, p. 1). (16)  In accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 690/2008 (1) certain zones have been recognised as 
prot ected zones in respect of various harmful organisms. That Regulation has recently been amended to take 
account of the latest developments with regard to the protect ed zones within the Union and the following 
harmful organisms: Bemisia tabaci Genn. (European populations), ‘Candidatus Phyt oplasma ulmi’, Ceratocystis platani  
(J. M. Walter) Engelbr . & T. C. Harr., Citrus tristeza virus (European strains), Curtobacter ium flaccumf aciens 
pv. flaccumf aciens (Hedges ) Col., Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu, Erwinia amyl ovora (Bur r.) Winsl. et al., Globoder a 
pallida (Stone) Behrens, Globoder a rostochiensis (Wollenweb er) Behrens, Paysandisia archon (Bur meiste r), 
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. 
(17)  Moreo ver, several areas within the Union that have been recognised as protect ed zones with regar d 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 following: the region of Ribat ejo e Oeste in Portugal with regard to Bemisia tabaci Genn. (European 
populations); the county of Odemira in Alente jo in Portugal with regar d to Citrus tristeza virus (European 
strains); the territory of Portugal with regard to Curtobacter ium flaccumf aciens pv. flaccumf aciens (Hedge s) Col. and 
Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu; the auton omous communities of Andalucía and Madr id and the distr icts  
(Comarcas) of Segr ià, Noguera, Pla d'Urgell, Garrigues and Urgell in the province of Lleida (Comunidad autonoma 
de Catalunya) in Spain; the provinces of Milano and Varese (Lombardy) 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 Carrigen agh in County Down, and the Electoral Area of Dunmur ry Cross in Belfast, County 
Antr im (Nor ther n Ireland) in the United Kingdom and the entire territory of the county of Dunajská Streda in 
Slovakia with rega rd to Erwinia amyl ovora (Bur r.) Winsl. et al.; the local author ity areas of Guildf ord and Woking 
in the United Kingdom with regard to Thaumetopoea processionea L. and the territory of Finland with regar d to 
Tomato spott ed wilt virus. This should be reflected in Part B of Annexes I to IV to Directive 2000/29/EC. 
(18)  The mistakes in the delimitation of the protect ed zones for Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say in Finland and Sweden in 
Part B of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC should be correcte d and brought in line with Regulation (EC) 
No 690/2008. 
(19)  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 organism Globoder a rostochiens is (Wollen weber) 
Behrens to Part B of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC and Paysandisia archon (Bur meister ), Rhynchophor us 
ferrugineus (Olivier), Thaumetopoea pityocampa Denis & Schi ffermüller and Xanthomonas arbor icola pv. pruni (Smith) 
Vauteri n 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 Globoder a pallida  
(Ston e) Behrens, Globoder a rostochiensis (Wollenweber) Behrens and Rhynchophor us 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 Annexes I, II and IV to Directive 
2000/29/EC should be amended according ly. 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 prot ected zones. 
(21)  From information provided by Ireland, Malta and the United Kingdom, it appears that the territories of those 
Member States are free from Paysandisia archon (Bur meister) 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 protect ed zone with respect to that 
harmful organism. Part B of Annex es II and IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended according ly. 
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 prote cted zones. 
(22)  From information provided by Ireland and the Unit ed Kingdom, it appears that the territories of those Member 
States are free from Rhynchophor us ferrugineus (Olivier) 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 es II and IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended according ly. 
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 prote cted zones. 15.7.2017 L 184/35 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). (23)  From information provided by the Unit ed Kingdom, it appears that its territory is free from Thaumetopoea 
pityocampa Denis & Schiff ermüller and Xanthomonas arbor icola pv. pruni (Smith) Vaute rin 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 prote cted 
zone with respect to those harmful organisms. Part B of Annexes II and IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be 
amended according ly. 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 
prot ected zones. 
(24)  From information provided by Ireland, it appears that its territory is free from Ceratocysti s 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 protect ed zone with respect to that harmful organism. Part B of Annexes II and IV to 
Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended according ly. 
(25)  A recent pest risk analysis shows that the current requirements for the introduction and movement of certain 
plants, plant products and other objects into and within certain protect ed zones with regard to Bemisia tabaci 
Genn. (European populations) and Daktulosphair a vitifoliae (Fitc h) are inadequate to reduce the phytosan itary risk 
in question to accept able 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 theref ore be amended according ly.
