COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DIRECTIVE (EU) 2017/1279

of 14 July 2017

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 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,

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. |

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 protecting plants, plant products and other objects, in light of increased international trade and following pest risk assessments performed and recently published by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organisation, it is technically justified and consistent with the pest risks 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 (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 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 reclassified. 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 pest 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. |
