COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DIRECTIVE 2014/78/EU

of 17 June 2014

amending Annexes I, II, III, IV and 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 European 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 Community (1), and in particular points (c) and (d) of the second paragraph of Article 14 thereof,

After consulting the Member States concerned,

Whereas:

| (1) | In view of increased international trade and in order to protect plants, plant products and other objects, it is technically justified, consistent with the pest risk involved, to add the harmful organisms Agrilus anxius Gory and Anthonomus eugenii Cano to Section I of Part A of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC. |

(1)

In view of increased international trade and in order to protect plants, plant products and other objects, it is technically justified, consistent with the pest risk involved, to add the harmful organisms Agrilus anxius Gory and Anthonomus eugenii Cano to Section I of Part A of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC.

| (2) | In order to protect the production and the trade of plants, plant products and other objects, it is technically justified, consistent with the pest risk involved, to delete the harmful organisms Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, Citrus greening bacterium and Diaphorina citri Kuway 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. |

(2)

In order to protect the production and the trade of plants, plant products and other objects, it is technically justified, consistent with the pest risk involved, to delete the harmful organisms Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, Citrus greening bacterium and Diaphorina citri Kuway 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 (Steiner 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. Therefore, 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 submitted by Portugal shows that those harmful organisms are now known to occur within the Union. Consequently, they should be added to Section II of Part A of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC. |

(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 observed low impact.

| (6) | Certain plants, plant products and other objects are likely to host the following harmful organisms Agrilus anxius Gory, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, Amauromyza maculosa (Malloch), Anthonomus eugenii Cano, Bemisia tabaci Genn. (non-European populations), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner and Bührer) Nickle et al., Citrus greening bacterium, Diaphorina citri Kuway, Ditylenchus dipsaci (Kühn) Filipjev, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner), Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard), Liriomyza sativae(Blanchard), Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess), Spodoptera eridania (Cramer), Spodoptera frugiperda Smith, Spodoptera litura (Fabricius), Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.) and Trioza erytreae Del Guercio which 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 knowledge, show that the special requirements set out in Part A of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC are inadequate to reduce to an acceptable level, the phytosanitary risk caused by the introduction of those plants, plant products and other objects into the Union, and their movement within the Union. Therefore it is necessary 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 listed in Part A of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC, developments in scientific and technical knowledge, show that their introduction into the Union, and their movement within the Union may pose an unacceptable phytosanitary risk due to their likelihood to host the harmful organisms referred to in recital 6. Therefore it is necessary that those plants, plant products and other objects should be listed in Part A of Annex IV. |

Therefore it is necessary 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. Therefore, those plants, plant products and other objects should be listed in Parts A and B of Annex V to Directive 2000/29/EC. |

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. Therefore, 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 import of Manihot esculenta Crantz, of Limnophila L. and Eryngium L., and of Capsicum L. have shown that the leaves 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 listed in Annexes I and II to Directive 2000/29/EC. Therefore 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 accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate. Consequently, they should be listed in Section I of Part B of Annex V. |

Consequently, they should be listed in Section I of Part B of Annex V.

| (10) | Taking into account the revised FAO International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 ‘Regulation of wood packaging material in international trade’ it is considered that the current approach in Directive 2000/29/EC to impose different requirements, depending on whether the wood packaging material is actually in use or not, should be abandoned, since this approach is not anymore technically justified. Section I of Part A of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended accordingly. |

| (11) | Similarly, wood used to wedge or support all types of cargo should be considered a type of wood packaging material, in line with the definitions in the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15, since there is no technical justification anymore for regulating it separately from other types of wood packaging material. Section I of Part A of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended accordingly |

| (12) | It is considered that the formulation of the phytosanitary requirements based on a heat treatment of wood and isolated bark need to be amended to clarify that the requested heating time refers to continuous minutes, and that the requested temperature needs to be achieved throughout the entire profile of the wood or isolated bark in order to reach successful elimination of wood-infesting harmful organisms. Section I of Part A of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended accordingly. |

| (14) | The names of Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith, Lycopersicon lycopersicum (L.) Karsten ex Farw. and citrus greening bacterium should be amended in line with the revised scientific denomination of those organism. Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith should be referred to as Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) Yabuuchi et al.. Lycopersicon lycopersicum (L.) Karsten ex Farw. should be referred to as Solanum lycopersicum L.. The Citrus greening bacterium should be referred to as Candidatus Liberibacter spp., causal agent of Huanglongbing disease of citrus/citrus greening. |

| (15) | Council Directive 2007/33/EC (2) establishes measures to be taken against European populations of potato cyst nematodes (Globodera pallida (Stone) Behrens and Globodera rostochiensis (Wollenweber) Behrens) in order to determine their distribution, to prevent their spread and to control them. The current provisions of Directive 2000/29/EC concerning potato cyst nematodes (Globodera pallida (Stone) Behrens and Globodera rostochiensis (Wollenweber) Behrens) should be updated to align with the requirements of Directive 2007/33/EC. Annexes IV and V to Directive 2000/29/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |

| (16) | By Commission Regulation (EC) No 690/2008 (3), certain zones are recognised as protected zones in respect of various harmful organisms. Regulation (EC) No 690/2008 has been amended to take account of the latest developments with regard to the protected zones within the Union and the following harmful organisms: Citrus tristeza virus (European strains), Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. and Grapevine flavescence dorée MLO. It is therefore necessary to amend Annexes I to V to Directive 2000/29/EC accordingly, to ensure that the requirements concerning protected zones with regard to the respective harmful organisms are consistent. |

| (21) | From a recent pest risk analysis carried out by France it emerges that Ips amitinus Eichhof does not pose an unacceptable phytosanitary risk in Corsica (France). Therefore Corsica should be removed from the list of protected 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 accordingly. |
