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
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and
in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (
1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976, on protective
measures against the introduction into the Community of
organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their
spread within the Community (3). For the sake of clarity and
rationality, it has been amended on a number of occasions, often
substantively (4). It should therefore be consolidated.
(2) Plant production is very important to the Community.
(3) Plant production yields are consistently reduced through the
effects of harmful organisms.
(4) The protection of plants against such organisms is absolutely
necessary not only to avoid reduced yields but also to increase
agricultural productivity.
(5) Action aimed at the systematic eradication of harmful organisms
within the Community, established by the plant health regime
applicable in the Community as an area without internal frontiers,
would have only limited effect if protective measures against their
introduction into the Community were not applied at the same
time.
(6) The need for such measures has long been recognised and they
have formed the subject of many national regulations and
international conventions, including the International Plant
Protection Convention (IPPC) of 6 December 1951 concluded at
the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO),
which is of worldwide interest.
(7) One of the most important measures consists in listing the
particularly dangerous harmful organisms whose introduction into
the Community must be prohibited and also the harmful
organisms whose introduction into the Member States when
carried by certain plants or plant products must also be prohibited.
(8) The presence of some of these harmful organisms, when plants or
plant products are introduced from countries in which these
organisms occur, cannot be effectively checked. It is therefore
necessary to make minimum provision for bans on the intro-
duction of certain plants and plant products, or to provide for
special checks to be made in the producer countries.
(9) Such plant health checks must be limited to introductions of
products originating in non-member countries and to cases where!B

(3) OJ L 26, 31.1.1977, p. 20. Directive as last amended by Commission
Directive 1999/53/EC (OJ L 142, 5.6.1999, p. 29).
(4) See Annex VIII Part A.2000L0029 — EN — 22.05.2001 — 001.001 — 2
there is strong evidence that one of the plant-health provisions has
not been observed.
(10) It is necessary to make provision under certain conditions
permitting derogations from a certain number of provisions.
Experience has shown that the same degree of urgency may be
attached to a certain number of derogations as is attached to the
safeguard provisions. Therefore the urgency procedure specified
in this Directive should also be made applicable to these
derogations.
(11) Temporary safeguard measures not laid down in this Directive
should normally be adopted by the Member State where the
problem originates in the case of imminent danger of the
introduction or spread of harmful organisms. The Commission
should be informed of all events which require the adoption of
safeguard measures.
(12) Given the importance of the trade in plants and plant products
between the French overseas departments and the remainder of the
Community, it is desirable to apply the provisions of this Directive
to them. In view of the special nature of the agricultural
production of the French overseas departments, it is appropriate
to provide for additional protective measures justified on grounds
of the protection of health and life of plants therein. The
provisions of this Directive should also be extended to protective
measures against the introduction of harmful organisms into the
French overseas departments from other parts of France.
(13) Council Regulation (EEC) No 1911/91 of 26 June 1991 on the
applications of the provisions of Community law to the Canary
Islands (1) integrates the Canary Islands into the Community
customs territory and into the common policies. Under Articles 2
and 10 of that Regulation, application of the common agricultural
policy is subject to the entry into force of specific supply
arrangements. Such application must also be accompanied by
specific measures concerning agricultural production.
(14) Council Decision 91/314/EEC of 26 June 1991 setting up a
programme of options specific to the remote and insular nature of
the Canary Islands (Poseican) (2) outlines the options to be
implemented to take account of the specific problems and
constraints faced by those islands.
(15) To accommodate therefore the specific plant health situation in
the Canary Islands, it is appropriate to extend the application of
certain measures of this Directive for a period expiring six months
after the date by which Member States must have implemented
forthcoming provisions dealing with the Annexes to this Directive
for the protection of the French overseas departments and of the
Canary Islands.
(16) It is appropriate to adopt, for the purposes of this Directive, the
model certificates approved under the IPPC, as amended on 21
November 1979, in a standardised lay-out which has been drawn
up in close cooperation with international organisations. It is also
appropriate to lay down certain rules concerning the conditions in
accordance with which such certificates may be issued, certain
rules for the use of previous models during a transitional period,
and certification requirements in the case of the introduction of
plants and plant products from third countries.
(17) In the case of importations of plants or plant products from third
countries the authorities responsible in such countries for issuing
certificates should be, in principle, those empowered under the
IPPC. It could be desirable to establish lists of these authorities for
the non-contracting third countries.!B

2674/1999 (OJ L 326, 18.12.1999, p. 3).
(2) OJ L 171, 29.6.1991, p. 5.2000L0029 — EN — 22.05.2001 — 001.001 — 3
(18) The procedure applicable to certain types of amendments to be
made to the Annexes to this Directive should be simplified.
(19) The scope of this Directive should be clarified in respect of
‘wood’. In particular, it is useful to follow the detailed descriptions
of ‘wood’ set out in Community Regulations.
(20) Certain seeds are not included amongst the plants, plant products
and other objects, listed in the Annexes to this Directive, which
must be subjected to a plant health inspection in the country of
origin or the consignor country before being permitted to enter in
the Community or in intra-Community trade.
(21) It is appropriate to provide in certain cases that the official
inspection of plants, plant products and other objects coming from
third countries should be carried out by the Commission in the
third country of origin.
(22) The Community inspections must be made by experts employed
by the Commission, and also by experts employed by Member
States, whose services are made available to the Commission. The
roles of these experts should be defined in connection with the
activities required under the Community plant health regime.
(23) The scope of the regime should no longer be restricted to trade
between Member States and third countries, but should also be
extended to marketing within single Member States.
(24) In principle, all parts of the Community should benefit from the
same degree of protection against harmful organisms. However,
differences in ecological conditions and in the distribution of
certain harmful organisms must be taken into account. In
consequence, ‘protected zones’ exposed to particular plant health
risks should be defined and should be accorded special protection
under conditions compatible with the internal market.
(25) The application of the Community plant health regime to the
Community as an area without internal frontiers, and the
introduction of protected zones make it necessary to distinguish
between requirements applicable to Community products on the
one hand and those applicable to imports from third countries on
the other, and to identify harmful organisms relevant for protected
zones.
(26) The most appropriate place for carrying out plant-health checks is
the place of production. In respect of Community products, these
checks must therefore be made mandatory at the place of
production and should extend to all relevant plants and plant
products grown, produced, used or otherwise present there, and to
the growing medium used there. For the efficient operation of
such a system of checks, all producers should be officially
registered.
(27) To ensure more effective application of the Community plant-
health regime in the internal market, it must be possible to use, for
the purpose of plant-health checks, available official manpower
other than that of Member States’ official plant-protection
services, whose training should be coordinated and supported
financially by the Community.
(28) If the results of the checks are satisfactory, instead of the
phytosanitary certificate used in international trade, Community
products will bear an agreed mark (plant passport), adapted to the
type of product, in order to ensure its free movement throughout
the Community or those parts thereof for which it is valid.
(29) The official measures to be taken when the results of the checks
are not satisfactory should be specified.
(30) To ensure compliance with the Community plant-health regime in
the context of the internal market, a system of official checks
during marketing should be established. This system should be as
reliable and uniform as possible throughout the Community but!B2000L0029 — EN — 22.05.2001 — 001.001 — 4
should exclude specific controls at borders between Member
States.
(31) In the framework of the internal market, products originating in
third countries should in principle be subjected to plant-health
checks on first introduction into the Community. If the results of
the checks are satisfactory, third country products should be issued
with a plant passport ensuring free movement in the same way as
Community products.
(32) In order to confront the situation created by the completion of the
internal market with the necessary guarantees, it is essential to
reinforce the plant-health inspection infrastructure at national and
Community level at the Community’s external frontiers, paying
particular attention to those Member States which, by reason of
their geographical situation, are points of entry to the Community.
The Commission will propose the inclusion in the General Budget
of the European Union of the necessary appropriations for that
purpose.
(33) With a view to improving the efficiency of the Community
plant-health regime in the context of the internal market, the
Member States should harmonise the practices of the personnel
responsible for plant-health. The Commission will submit, before
1 January 1993, a Community code of plant-health practice.
(34) It is no longer possible for Member States to adopt any special
plant-health provisions on the introduction into their territory of
plants or plant products originating in other Member States. All
provisions on plant-health requirements for plants and plant
products should be established at Community level.
(35) It is necessary to establish a system of Community financial
contributions to share at Community level the burden of possible
risks which might remain in trade under the Community
plant-health regime.
(36) In order to prevent infections by harmful organisms introduced
from third countries, there should be a Community financial
contribution aimed at reinforcing the plant health inspection
infrastructure at the Community’s external frontiers.
(37) The regime should also provide for adequate contributions to
certain expenses for specific measures, which Member States have
adopted to control and, where applicable, eradicate infections by
harmful organisms introduced from third countries or from other
areas in the Community, and, where possible, to repair the damage
caused.
(38) The details of the mechanism for granting the Community
financial contribution should be determined under a rapid
procedure.
(39) It must be ensured that the Commission is informed in full of the
possible causes for the introduction of the harmful organisms
concerned.
(40) In particular, the Commission should monitor correct application
of the Community plant-health regime.
(41) It should be established that the introduction of the harmful
organisms has been caused by inadequate examinations or
inspections. Community law should apply in respect of the
consequences, taking into account certain specific measures.
(42) It is appropriate for Member States and the Commission to
cooperate closely within the Standing Committee on Plant Health
set up by Council Decision 76/894/EEC (1).
(43) This Directive must not affect the obligations of the Member
States concerning the time-limits for transposition and application
set out in Annex VIII, Part B,!B

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
1. This Directive concerns protective measures against the introduction
into the Member States from other Member States or third countries of
organisms which are harmful to plants or plant products.
It also concerns:
(a) with effect from 1 June 1993, protective measures against the spread
of harmful organisms within the Community by means related to
movements of plants, plant products and other related objects within
a Member State;
(b) protective measures against the introduction of harmful organisms
into the French overseas departments from other parts of France and,
conversely, into other parts of France from the French overseas
departments;
(c) protective measures against the introduction of harmful organisms
into the Canary Islands from other parts of Spain and, conversely,
into other parts of Spain from the Canary Islands.
2. Without prejudice to the conditions to be established for the
protection of the plant-health situation existing in certain regions in the
Community, taking into account the differences in agricultural and
ecological conditions, protective measures which are justified on
grounds of the protection of health and life of plants in the French
overseas departments and in the Canary Islands which are additional to
those laid down in this Directive may be determined in accordance with
the procedure laid down in Article 18.
3. This Directive shall not apply to Ceuta or Melilla.
4. Each Member State shall establish or designate one single and
central authority responsible, under the control of the national govern-
ment, in particular for coordination and contacts in matters related to
plant health within the context of this Directive. The official plant
protection service set up under the International Plant Protection
Convention (IPPC) shall preferably be designated for this purpose. This
authority and any subsequent change shall be notified to the other
Member States and to the Commission.
5. In respect of the protective measures against the introduction of
harmful organisms from the French overseas departments into other parts
of France and into the other Member States and against their spread

implement forthcoming provisions dealing with Annexes I to V for the
protection of the French overseas departments. With effect from the same
date, paragraph 1(b) and paragraph 2 of this Article shall be deleted.
6. In respect of the protective measures against the introduction of
harmful organisms from the Canary Islands into other parts of Spain and
into the other Member States and against their spread within the Canary
Islands, the dates referred to in paragraph 1(a) of this Article, Article
3(4), Article 4(2) and (4), Article 5(2) and (4), Article 6(5) and (6),
Article 10(1) and (2) and Article 13(8), (10) and (11) shall be replaced by
a date which corresponds to the end of a six-month period following the
date by which Member States must implement forthcoming provisions
dealing with Annexes I to V for the protection of the Canary Islands.
With effect from the same date, paragraph 1(c) of this Article shall be
deleted.!B2000L0029 — EN — 22.05.2001 — 001.001 — 6
Article 2
1. For the purposes of this Directive:
(a)plants shall be considered to mean: living plants and living parts
thereof, including seeds;
living parts of plants shall be considered to include:— fruit, in the botanical sense, other than that preserved by
deep freezing,
— vegetables, other than those preserved by deep freezing,— tubers, corms, bulbs, rhizomes,— cut flowers,
— branches with foliage,
— cut trees retaining foliage,— plant tissue cultures.seeds shall be considered to mean: seeds in the botanical sense,
other than those not intended for planting;
(b)plant products shall be considered to mean: products of plant
origin, unprocessed or having undergone simple preparation, in
so far as these are not plants;
(c)planting shall be considered to mean: any operation for the
placing of plants to ensure their subsequent growth, reproduction
or propagation;
(d)plants intended for planting shall be considered to mean:
— plants which are already planted and are intended to remain
planted or to be replanted after their introduction, or
— plants which are not planted at the time of introduction, but
are intended to be planted thereafter;
(e)harmful organisms shall be considered to mean: pests of plants
or of plant products, which belong to the animal or plant
kingdoms, or which are viruses, mycoplasmas or other
pathogens;
(f)plant passport shall be considered to mean: an official label
which gives evidence that the provisions of this Directive related
to plant health standards and special requirements are satisfied,
and which is:
— standardised at Community level for different types of plants
or plant products, and
— prepared by the responsible official body in a Member State
and issued in accordance with the implementing rules
governing the details of the procedure for issuing plant
passports.
For specific types of product, official agreed marks other than a
label may be decided on in accordance with the procedure laid
down in Article 18.
The standardisation shall be established in accordance with the
procedure laid down in Article 8. Under this standardisation,
different marks shall be determined for plant passports which are
not valid, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article
10(1), for all parts of the Community;
(g)the responsible official bodies in a Member State shall be:
(i) the official plant protection service(s) of a Member State
referred to in Article 1(4); or
(ii) any State authority established!B2000L0029 — EN — 22.05.2001 — 001.001 — 7
— at national level,
— or, under the supervision within the limits set by the
constitution of the Member State concerned, of national
authorities at regional level.
The responsible official bodies in a Member State may, in
accordance with national legislation, delegate the tasks provided
for in this Directive to be accomplished under their authority and
supervision to any legal person, whether governed by public or
by private law, which under its officially approved constitution is
charged exclusively with specific public functions, provided that
such person, and its members, has no personal interest in the
outcome of the measures it takes.
The Member States shall ensure that there is close cooperation
between the bodies referred to in point (ii) of the first
subparagraph and those referred to in point (i) thereof.
Moreover, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article
18, other legal persons established on behalf of the body or
bodies referred to in point (i) of the first subparagraph and acting
under the authority and supervision of such body may be
approved, provided that such person has no personal interest in
the outcome of the measures it takes.
The single central authority referred to in Article 1(4) shall
inform the Commission of the responsible official bodies in the
Member State concerned. The Commission shall forward that
information to the other Member States;
(h)protected zone shall be considered to mean a zone in the
Community:
— in which one or more harmful organisms referred to in this
Directive, which are established in one or more parts of the
Community, are not endemic or established despite favor-
able conditions for them to establish themselves there,
— in which there is a danger that certain harmful organisms
will establish, given propitious ecological conditions, for
particular crops, despite the fact that these organisms are not
endemic or established in the Community,
and which has been recognised, in accordance with the
procedure laid down in Article 18, as fulfilling the conditions
set out in the first and second indents and, in the case referred to
in the first indent, at the request of the Member State(s)
concerned and on the grounds that the results of appropriate
surveys which have been monitored by the experts referred to in
Article 21 under the procedure laid down therein show no
evidence to the contrary. In the eventuality referred to in the
second indent, surveys are optional.
A harmful organism shall be considered to be established in an
area if it is known to occur there and if either no official
measures have been taken there with a view to its eradication or
such measures have proved, for a period of at least two
successive years, to be ineffective.
The Member State(s) concerned shall conduct, with respect to
the case provided for in the first indent of the first subparagraph,
regular and systematic official surveys on the presence of
organisms in respect of which the protected zone has been
recognised. Each finding of such organisms shall immediately
be notified to the Commission. The risk arising from such
finding shall be assessed by the Standing Committee on Plant
Health and appropriate action decided on in accordance with the
procedure referred to in Article 18.!B2000L0029 — EN — 22.05.2001 — 001.001 — 8
The details of the surveys referred to in the first and third
subparagraphs may be established in accordance with the
procedure referred to in Article 18, account being taken of
sound scientific and statistical principles.
The results of the above surveys shall be notified to the
Commission. The Commission shall forward this information to
the other Member States.
The Commission shall, before 1 January 1998, submit a report to
the Council on the operation of the system of protected zones
together, if necessary, with any appropriate proposals;
(i)a statement or measure shall be considered official if made or
taken, without prejudice to the provisions of Article 21:
— by representatives of the official plant protection service of a
Member State or, under their responsibility, by other public
servants, in the case of statements or measures related to the
issuing of the certificates specified in Article 7(1) or Article
8(2);
— either by such representatives or public servants or by
qualified agents employed by one of the responsible official
bodies of a Member State, in all other cases, provided that
such agents have no personal interest in the outcome of the
measures they take and satisfy minimum standards of
qualification.
Member States shall ensure that their public servants and
qualified agents have the qualifications necessary for the proper
application of this Directive. In accordance with the procedure
laid down in Article 18, guidelines may be established for such
qualifications.
The Commission shall, acting within the Standing Committee on
Plant Health, draw up Community programmes, the implemen-
tation of which it shall monitor, regarding the further training of
the public servants and qualified agents concerned, in an effort
to raise the knowledge and experience acquired in the national
context to the level of the aforementioned qualifications. It shall
contribute to the financing of this further training and shall
propose the inclusion of the necessary appropriations for that
purpose in the Community budget.
2. Save where it is expressely provided otherwise, the provisions of this
Directive concern wood only in so far as it retains all or part of its natural
round surface, with or without bark, or as it is in the form of chips,
particles, sawdust, wood waste or scrap.
Save for the purpose of the provisions relating to Annex V , wood,
whether satisfying the conditions referred to in the first subparagraph or
not, is also concerned where it is in the form of dunnage, spacers, pallets
or packing material which are actually in use in the transport of objects
of all kinds, provided that it presents a plant health risk.
Article 3
1. Member States shall ban the introduction into their territory of the
harmful organisms listed in Annex I, Part A.
2. Member States shall ban the introduction into their territory of the
plants and plant products listed in Annex II, Part A, where they are
contaminated by the relevant harmful organisms listed in that part of the
Annex.
3. Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply in accordance with conditions
which may be determined in accordance with the procedure laid down in
Article 17, in the case of slight contamination of plants other than those
intended for planting by harmful organisms listed in Annex I, Part A, or
in Annex II, Part A, which have previously been selected in agreement
with the authorities representing the Member States in the field of plant
health.!B2000L0029 — EN — 22.05.2001 — 001.001 — 9
4. With effect from 1 June 1993, Member States shall provide that
paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be applied also to the spread of the harmful
organisms concerned by means connected with the movement of plants,
plant products or other objects within the territory of a Member State.
5. Member States shall ban from 1 June 1993 the introduction into and
the spread within the relevant protected zones, of:
(a) the harmful organisms listed in Annex I, Part B;(b) the plants and plant products listed in Annex II, Part B where they
are contaminated by the relevant harmful organisms listed therein.
6. In accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18:(a) the harmful organisms listed in Annexes I and II shall be subdivided
as follows:
— organisms not known to occur in any part of the Community and
relevant for the entire Community shall be listed in Annex I, Part
A, Section I and Annex II, Part A, Section I respectively,
— organisms known to occur in the Community but not endemic or
established throughout the Community and relevant for the
entire Community shall be listed in Annex I, Part A, Section II
and Annex II, Part A, Section II respectively,
— the other organisms shall be listed in Annex I, Part B and Annex
II, Part B respectively against the protected zone for which they
are relevant;
(b) harmful organisms endemic or established in one or more parts of
the Community shall be deleted, save those referred to in the second
and third indents of point (a);
(c) the titles of Annexes I and II, as well as the different parts and
sections thereof, shall be adapted in accordance with points (a) and
(b).
7. In accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18, save where
it is expressly provided otherwise, it may be decided that Member States
shall lay down that:
(a) the introduction into their territories, and the spread within their
territories, of specified organisms, whether singly or not, which are
considered to be harmful to plants or plant products but are not listed
in Annexes I and II, shall be prohibited or require special
authorisation under conditions specified under the same procedure;
(b) the introduction into their territories, and the spread within their
territories, of specified organisms, which are listed in Annex II, but
which occur on plants other than those listed in that Annex, and
which are considered to be harmful to plants or plant products, shall
be prohibited or require special authorisation under conditions
specified under the same procedure;
(c) the introduction into their territories, and the spread within their
territories, of specified organisms, which are listed in Annexes I and
II, which are in an isolated state and which are considered to be
harmful to plants or plant products, shall be prohibited or require
special authorisation under conditions specified under the same
procedure.
The first subparagraph shall also apply to such organisms where they are
not affected by Council Directive 90/220/EEC of 23 April 1990 on the
deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified
organisms (
1), or other more specific Community provisions regarding
genetically modified organisms.!B

Paragraphs 1 and 5(a) and paragraphs 2 and 5(b) and paragraph 4 shall
not apply, in accordance with the conditions which shall be determined
pursuant to the procedure laid down in Article 18, for trial or scientific
purposes and for work on varietal selections.
After the measures provided for in the first subparagraph have been
adopted, that subparagraph shall not apply, in accordance with the
conditions which shall be determined pursuant to the procedure laid
down in Article 18, for trial or scientific purposes and for work on
varietal selections.
Article 4
1. Member States shall ban the introduction into their territory of the
plants or plant products listed in Annex III, Part A where they originate
in the relevant countries referred to in that part of the Annex.
2. Member States shall provide that, from 1 June 1993, the introduction
of plants, plant products and other objects listed in Annex III, Part B into
the relevant protected zones located in their territory is prohibited.
3. In accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18, Annex III
shall be revised in such a way that Part A contains plants, plant products
and other objects which constitute a plant-health risk for all parts of the
Community, and Part B contains plants, plant products and other objects
which constitute a plant-health risk only for protected zones. The
protected zones shall be specified there.
4. With effect from 1 June 1993, paragraph 1 shall no longer apply to
plants, plant products and other objects originating in the Community.
5. Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply, in accordance with conditions
which shall be determined pursuant to the procedure laid down in Article
18, for trials or scientific purposes and for work on varietal selections.
6. Provided that there is no risk of harmful organisms spreading, a
Member State may provide that paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply in
individual specified cases to plants, plant products and other objects
which are grown, produced or used in its immediate frontier zone with a
third country and introduced into that Member State in order to be
worked in nearby locations in the frontier zone of its territory.
When granting such a derogation, the Member State shall specify the
location and the name of the person working it. Such details, which shall
be updated regularly, shall be available to the Commission.
Plants, plant products and other objects which form the subject of a
derogation under the first subparagraph shall be accompanied by
documentary evidence of the location in the relevant third country from
which the said plants, plant products and other objects originate.
Article 5
1. Member States shall ban the introduction into their territory of the
plants, plant products and other objects listed in Annex IV , Part A, unless
the relevant special requirements indicated in that part of the Annex are
met.

Annex IV , Part B,
— from Article 7(2) and Article 13(1)(b), in the case of wood, if
equivalent safeguards are given,
provided that it is established that the risk of spreading harmful
organisms is obviated by one or more of the following factors:
— the origin of the plants or plant products,
— appropriate treatment,— special precautions for the use of the plants or plant products.The risk shall be assessed on the basis of available scientific and
technical information; where such information is insufficient, it shall be
supplemented by additional enquiries or, where appropriate, by
investigations carried out under the authority of the Commission and
in accordance with the relevant provisions of Article 21 in the country of
origin of the plants, plant products or other objects concerned.
Each authorisation shall apply individually to all or part of the territory
of the Community under conditions which take into account the risk of
spreading harmful organisms by the product in question in protected
zones or in certain regions taking into account the differences in
agricultural and ecological conditions. In such cases, the Member States
concerned shall be expressly exempted from certain obligations derived
from the above provisions in the decisions providing for the auth-
orisations.
The risk shall be assessed on the basis of available scientific and
technical information. Where such information is insufficient, it shall be
supplemented by additional enquiries or, where appropriate, by
investigations carried out by the Commission in the country of origin

the other Member States of the actual or suspected appearance of any
harmful organisms not listed in Annex I or in Annex II whose presence
was previously unknown in its territory. It shall also inform the
Commission and the other Member States of the protective measures
which it has taken or intends to take. These measures must, inter alia ,b e
such as to prevent risk of the spread of the harmful organism concerned
in the territory of the other Member States.!B2000L0029 — EN — 22.05.2001 — 001.001 — 22
In respect of consignments of plants, plant products or other objects from
third countries considered to involve an imminent danger of the
introduction or spread of the harmful organisms referred to in paragraph
1 and the first subparagraph of this paragraph, the Member State
concerned shall immediately take the measures necessary to protect the
territory of the Community from that danger and shall inform the
Commission and the other Member States thereof.
Where a Member State considers that there is an imminent danger other
than that referred to in the second subparagraph, it shall immediately
notify the Commission and the other Member States of the measures
which it would like to see taken. If it considers that these measures are
not being taken in sufficient time to prevent the introduction or spread of
a harmful organism in its territory, it may temporarily take any additional
measures which it deems necessary, as long as the Commission has not
adopted measures pursuant to paragraph 3.

Article 21
1. For the purpose of ensuring the correct and uniform application of
this Directive, and without prejudice to checks carried out under the
authority of the Member States, the Commission may organise checks to
be carried out by experts under its authority in respect of the tasks listed
in paragraph 3, on- or off-site, in accordance with the provisions of this
Article.
Where such checks are carried out in a Member State, this must be done
in cooperation with the official plant protection organisation of that
Member State as specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 and in accordance with
the procedures set out in paragraph 7.
2. The experts referred to in paragraph 1 may be:— employed by the Commission,— employed by Member States, and put at the disposal of the
Commission on a temporary or ad hoc basis.
They shall have acquired, at least in one Member State, the qualifications
required for persons in charge of carrying out and monitoring official
plant health inspections.
3. The checks referred to in paragraph 1 may be carried out in respect
of the following tasks:
— monitoring examinations pursuant to Article 6,— monitoring or, within the framework of the provisions laid down in
the fifth subparagraph of this paragraph, carrying out in cooperation
with the Member States inspections pursuant to Article 13(1),
— carrying out the activities specified in the technical arrangements
referred to in Article 13(7),
— making the investigations referred to in Article 15(1) and Article
16(3),
— assisting the Commission in the matters referred to in paragraph 6,
— carrying out any other duty assigned to the experts by the Council,
acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission.
4. For the purpose of the tasks listed in paragraph 3, the experts
referred to in paragraph 1 may:
— visit nurseries, farms and other places where plants, plant products or
other objects are or were grown, produced, processed or stored,
— visit places where examinations pursuant to Article 6 or inspections
pursuant to Article 13 are carried out,
— consult officials of the official plant protection organisations of the
Member States,
— accompany the Member States’ national inspectors when they carry
out activities for the purposes of applying this Directive.
5. Under the cooperation mentioned in paragraph 1, second subpara-
graph, the official plant protection organisation of that Member State
shall be given sufficient advance notice of the task to permit the
necessary arrangements to be made.
Member States shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that the
objectives and effectiveness of inspections are not jeopardised. They
shall ensure that the experts may carry out their tasks without hindrance,
and shall take all reasonable steps to provide them, on their request, with
the available necessary facilities, including laboratory equipment and
laboratory staff. The Commission shall ensure refunding of expenses
resulting from such requests, within the limits of appropriations available
for that purpose in the general budget of the European Union.!B2000L0029 — EN — 22.05.2001 — 001.001 — 25
The experts shall, wherever national legislation so requires, be duly
mandated by the official plant protection organisation of the Member
State concerned and observe the rules and practices imposed on that
Member State’s officials.
Where the task consists of monitoring the examinations referred to in
Article 6, monitoring the inspections referred to in Article 13(1), or
making the investigations referred to in Article 15(1) and Article 16(3),
no decision may be taken on-site. The experts shall report to the
Commission on their activities and their findings.
Where the task consists of carrying out the inspections pursuant to
Article 13(1), those inspections shall be integrated in an established
inspection programme and the rules of procedure established by the
Member State concerned shall be complied with; however, in the case of
a joint inspection, the Member State concerned will only allow the
introduction of a consignment into the Community if its plant protection
organisation and the Commission are in agreement. In accordance with
the procedure laid down in Article 18, this condition may be extended to
other irrevocable requirements applied to consignments before intro-
duction into the Community if experience shows such extension to be
necessary. Should the Community expert and the national inspector fail
to agree, the Member State concerned shall take any necessary
temporary measures, pending a definitive decision.
In all cases, national provisions in respect of criminal proceedings and
administrative penalties shall apply according to the normal procedures.
Where the experts identify a suspected infringement of the provisions of
this Directive, this shall be notified to the competent authorities of the
Member State concerned.
6. The Commission shall:— establish a network for the notification of new occurrences of
harmful organisms,
— make recommendations for drawing up guidelines for the experts
and for national inspectors in carrying out their activities.
To assist the Commission in this latter task, Member States shall notify
the Commission of the current national inspection procedures in the
plant health field.
7. The Commission shall adopt, under the procedure laid down in
Article 18, detailed rules for the application of this Article, including
those applicable to the cooperation mentioned in paragraph 1, second
subparagraph.
8. The Commission shall report to the Council, no later than 31
December 1994, on the experience gained from the implementation of
the provisions of this Article. The Council, acting by a qualified majority
on a proposal from the Commission, shall take the necessary measures to
amend these provisions, if appropriate, in the light of this experience.
Article 22
In the event of the actual or suspected appearance of a harmful organism
as a result of its introduction or spread within the Community, Member
States may receive a ‘plant-health control’ financial contribution from
the Community pursuant to Articles 23 and 24 to cover expenditure
relating directly to the necessary measures which have been taken or are
planned for the purpose of combating that harmful organism in order to
eradicate or, if that is not possible, contain it. The Commission shall
propose the entry of suitable appropriations for that purpose in the
general budget of the European Union.
Article 23
1. The Member State concerned may receive, at its request, the
Community financial contribution referred to in Article 22, where it is!B2000L0029 — EN — 22.05.2001 — 001.001 — 26
established that the harmful organism concerned, whether or not listed in
Annexes I and II:
— has been notified under Article 16(1) or (2) first subparagraph, and
— constitutes an imminent danger for all or part of the Community due
to its appearance in an area where the organism had either not been
known to occur previously or had been or was being eradicated, and
— was introduced into that area through consignments of plants, plant
products or other objects from a third country or another area of the
Community.
2. The following shall be regarded as necessary measures within the
meaning of Article 22:
(a) destruction, disinfection, disinfestation, sterilisation, cleaning or any
other treatment carried out officially or upon official request in
respect of:
(i) plants, plant products or other objects constituting the con-
signment(s) through which the harmful organism was introduced
into the area in question and which are recognised as being
contaminated or liable to be contaminated;
(ii) plants, plant products and other objects, recognised as being
contaminated or liable to be contaminated by the harmful
organism introduced, which have been grown from plants in the
consignment(s) concerned or have been in close proximity to the
plants, plant products or other objects of those consignments or
to plants grown from them;
(iii) growing substrates and land recognised as being contaminated or
liable to be contaminated by the harmful organism concerned;
(iv) production material, packaging, wrapping and storage material,
storage or packaging premises and means of transport which
have been in contact with all or some of the plants, plant
products and other objects referred to above;
(b) inspections or testing carried out officially or upon official request to
monitor the presence or extent of contamination by the harmful
organism which has been introduced;
(c) prohibitions or restrictions in respect of the use of growing
substrates, cultivable areas or premises, as well as plants, plant
products or other objects other than material from the consign-
ment(s) in question or grown therefrom where they result from
official decisions taken on the grounds of plant-health risks related
to the harmful organism introduced.
3. Payments made from public funds in order to:
— cover all or part of the costs of the measures described in paragraph
2(a) and (b), except for those related to the regular running costs of
the competent official body concerned, or
— to compensate for all or part of the financial losses other than loss of
earnings resulting directly from one or more of the measures
described in paragraph 2(c),
shall be considered to be expenditure directly relating to the necessary
measures referred to in paragraph 2.
By way of derogation from the second indent of the first subparagraph an
implementing Regulation may specify, in accordance with the procedure
laid down in Article 18, cases in which compensation for loss of earnings
shall be considered to be expenditure directly relating to necessary
measures subject to the conditions specified in this respect in paragraph
5 as well as the time limitations applicable to those cases, with a
maximum of three years.
4. In order to qualify for the financial contribution from the
Community and without prejudice to Article 16, the Member State
concerned shall apply to the Commission, at the latest before the end of!B2000L0029 — EN — 22.05.2001 — 001.001 — 27
the calendar year following that in which the appearance of the harmful
organism was detected, and shall forthwith inform the Commission and
the other Member States of:
— the reference of the notification provided for in the first indent of
paragraph 1,
— the nature and extent of the appearance of the harmful organism as
referred to in Article 22 and when, where and how it was detected,
— the identity of the consignments referred to in the third indent of
paragraph 1 through which the harmful organism was introduced,
— the necessary measures which have been taken or are planned for
which it is seeking assistance, together with timetables for them, and
— the results obtained and the actual or estimated cost of the
expenditure incurred or to be incurred, and the proportion of such
expenditure covered or to be covered from public funds allocated by
the Member State for implementation of those same necessary
measures.
Where the appearance of the harmful organism was detected prior to 30
January 1997, that date shall be deemed to be the date of detection within
the meaning of this paragraph and paragraph 5, provided that the actual
date of detection is not earlier than 1 January 1995. However, this
provision shall not apply in respect of compensation for loss of earnings
referred to in paragraph 3, second subparagraph save in exceptional
cases, under the conditions laid down in the implementing Regulation
referred to in paragraph 3, to loss of earnings occurring thereafter.
5. Without prejudice to Article 24, the allocation and the amount of the
financial contribution from the Community shall be decided in
accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18, in the light of
the information and documents submitted by the Member State
concerned in accordance with paragraph 4 and, where appropriate, the
results of investigations carried out on the Commission’ s authority by the
experts referred to in Article 21 pursuant to the first subparagraph of
Article 16(3), taking into account the extent of the danger referred to in
the second indent of paragraph 1 above, and depending on the
appropriations available for these purposes.
Within the limits set by the appropriations available for these purposes,
the financial contribution from the Community shall cover up to 50 %
and, in case of compensation for loss of earnings referred to in paragraph
3, second subparagraph, up to 25 %, of expenditure relating directly to
the necessary measures referred to in paragraph 2, provided that these
measures have been taken within a period not more than two years after
the date of detection of the appearance of a harmful organism as referred
to in Article 22, or are planned for that period.
The abovementioned period may be extended, in accordance with the
same procedure, if examination of the situation concerned leads to the
conclusion that the objective of the measures will be achieved within a
reasonable additional period. The financial contribution from the
Community shall be degressive over the years concerned.
Where a Member State is unable to supply the required information
regarding the identity of the consignment in accordance with the third
indent of paragraph 4, it shall indicate the presumed sources of the
appearance and the reasons why the consignments could not be
identified. The allocation of the financial contribution may be approved,
in accordance with the same procedure, depending on the outcome of an
assessment of that information.
Detailed rules for the implementation of this paragraph shall be
established in an implementing Regulation in accordance with the
procedure laid down in Article 18.!B2000L0029 — EN — 22.05.2001 — 001.001 — 28
6. In the light of the development of the situation in the Community, it
may be decided, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article
18 or Article 19, that further action will be implemented or that measures
taken or planned by the Member State concerned will be made subject to
certain requirements or additional conditions, if these are necessary for
the achievement of the objective in question.
The allocation of the financial contribution from the Community for
such further action, requirements or conditions shall be decided by the
same procedure. Within the limits set by the appropriations available for
these purposes, the financial contribution from the Community shall
cover up to 50 % of expenditure relating directly to the further action,
requirements or conditions concerned.
Where such further action, requirements or conditions are essentially
designed to protect Community territories other than that of the Member
State concerned, it may be decided, in accordance with the same
procedure, that the Community financial allocation shall cover more than
50 % of the expenditure.
The financial contribution from the Community shall be of a limited
duration and shall be degressive over the years concerned.
7. The allocation of a financial contribution from the Community shall
be without prejudice to claims which the Member State concerned or
individuals may have against others, including other Member States in
the cases referred to in Article 24(3), for the refunding of expenditure,
compensation for losses or other damages under national law,
Community law or international law. Rights in these claims will be the
object of a transfer, by operation of law, to the Community with effect
from the payment of the financial contribution from the Community, to
the extent that such expenditure, losses or other damages are covered by
that contribution.
8. The financial contribution from the Community may be paid in
several instalments.
If it appears that the financial contribution from the Community as
allocated is no longer justified, the following shall apply:
The amount of the financial contribution from the Community allocated
to the Member State concerned pursuant to paragraphs 5 and 6 may
either be reduced or suspended, if it is established from the information
supplied by that Member State, or from the results of investigations
carried out on the Commission’ s authority by the experts referred to in
Article 21, or from the results of the suitable examination which the
Commission has conducted in accordance with the procedures analogous
to those in Article 39 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21
June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds (1)
that:
— failure to implement the necessary measures decided on in
accordance with paragraphs 5 and 6, whether in whole or in part,
or failure to comply with the rules or time limits set in accordance
with those provisions or required by the objectives pursued is not
justified, or
— the measures are no longer necessary, or— a situation as described in Article 39 of Regulation (EC) No
1260/1999 is revealed.
9. Articles 8 and 9 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 of 17
May 1999 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (
2), shall
apply mutatis mutandis .
10. The Member State concerned shall repay the Community all or part
of any amounts paid it by way of a Community financial contribution!B
(1) OJ L 161, 26.6.1999, p. 1.
(2) OJ L 160, 26.6.1999, p. 103.2000L0029 — EN — 22.05.2001 — 001.001 — 29
allocated under paragraphs 5 and 6 above if it is established from the
sources as specified in paragraph 8, that
(a) the necessary measures taken into account pursuant to paragraphs 5
or 6
(i) have not been implemented; or(ii) have not been implemented in a manner which complies with the
rules or time limits set in accordance with those provisions or
required by the objectives pursued;
or
(b) the amounts paid have been used for purposes other than those for
which the financial contribution was allocated;
or
(c) a situation as described in Article 39 of Regulation (EC) No
1260/1999 is revealed.
The rights referred to the second sentence of paragraph 7 will be the
object of a transfer by operation of law back to the Member State
concerned with effect from the time of repayment, inasmuch as they are
covered by that repayment.
Interest on account of late payment shall be charged on sums not repaid
in compliance with the provisions of the Financial Regulation and in
accordance with the arrangements to be drawn up by the Commission in
accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18.
Article 24
1. In respect of the causes for the appearance of the harmful organism
referred to in Article 22, the following shall apply:
The Commission shall verify whether the appearance of the harmful
organism in the area concerned was caused by the movement into that
area of one or more consignments carrying the harmful organism and
shall identify the Member State or the successive Member States from
which the consignment(s) came.
The Member State from which the consignment(s) carrying the harmful
organism came, whether or not the same Member State as that referred to
above, shall forthwith inform the Commission, at the latter’s request, of
all details relating to the origin or origins of the consignment(s) and the
administrative handling involved, including the examinations, inspec-
tions and controls provided for in this Directive, in order to determine
why that Member State failed to detect that the consignment(s) did not
comply with the provisions of this Directive. It shall also inform the
Commission, at its request, of the destination of all the other
consignments sent from the same origin or origins during a specified
period.
For the purpose of supplementing the information, investigations may be
carried out on the Commissions’ s authority by the experts referred to in
Article 21.
2. The information acquired pursuant to these provisions or those of
Article 16(3) shall be examined in the Committee for the purposes of
identifying any failings in the Community’s plant health regulations or
their implementation, and any measures that could be taken to remedy
those failings.
The information referred to in paragraph 1 shall also be used to establish,
in accordance with the Treaty, whether the Member State from which the
consignment(s) came did not detect their non-compliance which resulted
in the appearance of the harmful organism in the area concerned because
that Member State failed to meet one of its obligations under the Treaty
and under the provisions of this Directive relating in particular to the
examinations laid down in Article 6 or the inspections laid down in
Article 13(1).!B2000L0029 — EN — 22.05.2001 — 001.001 — 30
3. Where the conclusions referred to in paragraph 2 is reached in
respect of the Member State referred to in Article 23(1), the Community
financial contribution shall not be allocated, or if already allocated shall
not be paid or, if already paid, shall be refunded to the Community. In the
latter case, the third subparagraph of Article 23(10) shall apply.
