Whereas:

| (1) | Pursuant to Article 22 of Directive 2000/29/EC, Member States may receive a ‘plant health control’ financial contribution from the Union to cover expenditure relating directly to the necessary measures which have been taken or are planned to be taken for the purpose of combating harmful organisms introduced from third countries or from other areas in the Union, in order to eradicate or, if that is not possible, to contain them. |

Pursuant to Article 22 of Directive 2000/29/EC, Member States may receive a ‘plant health control’ financial contribution from the Union to cover expenditure relating directly to the necessary measures which have been taken or are planned to be taken for the purpose of combating harmful organisms introduced from third countries or from other areas in the Union, in order to eradicate or, if that is not possible, to contain them.

| (2) | Germany introduced three requests for financial contribution. The first one was introduced on 22 December 2009 and relates to the control measures of Anoplophora glabripennis in Baden-Württemberg, for measures executed in 2008 and 2009 to control an outbreak of the harmful organism detected at the border between France and Germany and notified by France in 2008. The second request, introduced on 22 December 2009, relates to the control measures of Saperda candida in Schleswig-Holstein for measures executed in 2008 and 2009 to control an outbreak detected in 2008. The third request, introduced on 28 April 2010, relates to the control measures of Diabrotica virgifera in Baden-Württemberg, for measures executed in 2009 to control outbreaks of the harmful organism detected in 2007 and 2009, the outbreaks in 2007 having already been the subject of a co-financing in 2008 and 2009. |

The Commission has concluded that the conditions for the granting of a Union financial contribution, as laid down in particular in Article 23 of Directive 2000/29/EC, have been met. Accordingly, it is appropriate to provide a Union financial contribution to cover the expenditure on those programmes.

| (13) | In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 23(5) of Directive 2000/29/EC, the Union financial contribution may cover up to 50 % of eligible expenditure for measures that have been taken within a period of not more than 2 years after the date of detection of the appearance or that are planned for that period. However, in accordance with the third subparagraph of that Article, that period may be extended if it has been established that the objective of the measures will be achieved within a reasonable additional period, in which case the rate of the Union financial contribution shall be digressive over the years concerned. Having regard to the conclusions of the Working Group on evaluation of solidarity dossiers, it is appropriate to extend the 2-year period for the programmes concerned, while reducing the rate of the Union financial contributions for these measures to 45 % of eligible expenditure for the third year and to 40 % for the fourth year of these programmes. |
