on protective measures against the introduction into the Commu-
nity of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against
their spreadwithintheCommunity
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, andin 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 protec-
tive measures against the introduction into the Community of
organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against theirspread within the Community (
3).For the sake of clarity and
rationality, it has been amended on a number of occasions, oftensubstantively (
4).It should therefore be consolidated.
(2) Plant production is very important to the Community.
(3) Plant production yields are consistently reduced through theeffects of harmful organisms.
(4) The protection of plants against such organisms is absolutelynecessary not only to avoid reduced yields but also to increaseagricultural productivity.
(5) Action aimed at the systematic eradication of harmful organismswithin the Community, established by the plant health regimeapplicable in the Community as an area without internal fron-tiers, would have only limited effect if protective measuresagainst their introduction into the Community were not appliedat the same time.
(6) The need for such measures has long been recognised and theyhave formed the subject of many national regulations and inter-national conventions, including the International Plant ProtectionConvention (IPPC) of 6 December 1951 concluded at the UnitedNations Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO), which is of
worldwide interest.
(7) One of the most important measures consists in listing the parti-
cularly dangerous harmful organisms whose introduction into theCommunity must be prohibited and also the harmful organismswhose introduction into the Member States when carried bycertain plants or plant products must also be prohibited.
(8) The presence of some of these harmful organisms, when plantsor plant products are introduced from countries in which theseorganisms occur, cannot be effectively checked.It is thereforenecessary to make minimum provision for bans on the introduc-tion 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 where2000L0029 — EN — 23.03.2002 — 002.001 — 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 conditionspermitting derogations from a certain number of provisions.Experience has shown that the same degree of urgency may beattached 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 deroga-tions.
(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 intro-duction or spread of harmful organisms.The Commission shouldbe informed of all events which require the adoption of safe-guard measures.
(12) Given the importance of the trade in plants and plant productsbetween the French overseas departments and the remainder ofthe Community, it is desirable to apply the provisions of thisDirective to them.In view of the special nature of the agricul-
tural production of the French overseas departments, it is
appropriate to provide for additional protective measures justi-fied on grounds of the protection of health and life of plantstherein.The provisions of this Directive should also be extendedto protective measures against the introduction of harmful organ-isms 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 Articles2 and 10 of that Regulation, application of the common agricul-tural policy is subject to the entry into force of specific supplyarrangements.Such application must also be accompanied byspecific measures concerning agricultural production.
(14) Council Decision 91/314/EEC of 26 June 1991 setting up aprogramme of options specific to the remote and insular natureof 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 imple-mented forthcoming provisions dealing with the Annexes to thisDirective for the protection of the French overseas departmentsand of the Canary Islands.
(16) It is appropriate to adopt, for the purposes of this Directive, themodel certificates approved under the IPPC, as amended on 21November 1979, in a standardised lay-out which has been drawnup in close cooperation with international organisations.It is alsoappropriate 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 ofplants and plant products from third countries.
(17) In the case of importations of plants or plant products from thirdcountries the authorities responsible in such countries for issuingcertificates should be, in principle, those empowered under theIPPC.It could be desirable to establish lists of these authoritiesfor the non-contracting third countries.2000L0029 — EN — 23.03.2002 — 002.001 — 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 descrip-tions of ‘wood’ set out in Community Regulations.
(20) Certain seeds are not included amongst the plants, plant productsand 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 enterin the Community or in intra-Community trade.
(21) It is appropriate to provide in certain cases that the officialinspection 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 employedby the Commission, and also by experts employed by MemberStates, 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 beextended 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 ofcertain harmful organisms must be taken into account.In conse-quence, ‘protected zones’ exposed to particular plant health risksshould be defined and should be accorded special protectionunder conditions compatible with the internal market.
(25) The application of the Community plant health regime to theCommunity as an area without internal frontiers, and the intro-duction of protected zones make it necessary to distinguishbetween requirements applicable to Community products on theone 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 checksis the place of production.In respect of Community products,these checks must therefore be made mandatory at the place ofproduction 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 operationof such a system of checks, all producers should be officiallyregistered.
(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 officialmanpower other than that of Member States' official plant-protection services, whose training should be coordinated andsupported financially by the Community.
(28) If the results of the checks are satisfactory, instead of the phyto-
sanitary certificate used in international trade, Community
products will bear an agreed mark (plant passport), adapted tothe type of product, in order to ensure its free movementthroughout the Community or those parts thereof for which it isvalid.
(29) The official measures to be taken when the results of the checksare not satisfactory should be specified.
(30) To ensure compliance with the Community plant-health regimein the context of the internal market, a system of official checksduring marketing should be established.This system should beas reliable and uniform as possible throughout the Community2000L0029 — EN — 23.03.2002 — 002.001 — 4
▼B
but should exclude specific controls at borders between Member
States.
(31) In the framework of the internal market, products originating inthird countries should in principle be subjected to plant-healthchecks on first introduction into the Community.If the resultsof the checks are satisfactory, third country products should beissued with a plant passport ensuring free movement in thesame way as Community products.
(32) In order to confront the situation created by the completion ofthe internal market with the necessary guarantees, it is essentialto reinforce the plant-health inspection infrastructure at nationaland 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 theGeneral Budget of the European Union of the necessary appro-priations 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 personnelresponsible for plant-health.The Commission will submit, before1 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.Allprovisions on plant-health requirements for plants and plantproducts 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 introducedfrom 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 tocertain expenses for specific measures, which Member Stateshave adopted to control and, where applicable, eradicate infec-
tions by harmful organisms introduced from third countries or
from other areas in the Community, and, where possible, torepair the damage caused.
(38) The details of the mechanism for granting the Community finan-cial contribution should be determined under a rapid procedure.
(39) It must be ensured that the Commission is informed in full of thepossible causes for the introduction of the harmful organismsconcerned.
(40) In particular, the Commission should monitor correct applicationof the Community plant-health regime.
(41) It should be established that the introduction of the harmfulorganisms has been caused by inadequate examinations orinspections.Community law should apply in respect of theconsequences, taking into account certain specific measures.
(42) It is appropriate for Member States and the Commission to coop-
erate 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 MemberStates concerning the time-limits for transposition and applica-tion set out in Annex VIII, Part B,2000L0029 — EN — 23.03.2002 — 002.001 — 5

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 sofar 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 propa-gation;
(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 Article10(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
— at national level,
— or, under the supervision within the limits set by the consti-
tution of the Member State concerned, of nationalauthorities at regional level.
The responsible official bodies in a Member State may, in accor-
dance with national legislation, delegate the tasks provided for inthis Directive to be accomplished under their authority and super-vision to any legal person, whether governed by public or byprivate law, which under its officially approved constitution is2000L0029 — EN — 23.03.2002 — 002.001 — 7
▼B
charged exclusively with specific public functions, provided that
such person, and its members, has no personal interest in theoutcome 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 subparagraphand 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 underthe authority and supervision of such body may be approved,provided that such person has no personal interest in the outcomeof 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 MemberState concerned.The Commission shall forward that informationto the other Member States;
(h)protected zone shall be considered to mean a zone in the Commu-
nity:
— in which one or more harmful organisms referred to in this
Directive, which are established in one or more parts of theCommunity, are not endemic or established despite favorableconditions for them to establish themselves there,
— in which there is a danger that certain harmful organisms will
establish, given propitious ecological conditions, for particularcrops, 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 firstindent, at the request of the Member State(s) concerned and onthe grounds that the results of appropriate surveys which havebeen monitored by the experts referred to in Article 21 under theprocedure 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 havebeen 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 organ-
isms in respect of which the protected zone has been recognised.
Each finding of such organisms shall immediately be notified tothe Commission.The risk arising from such finding shall beassessed by the Standing Committee on Plant Health and appro-priate action decided on in accordance with the procedure referredto in Article 18.
The details of the surveys referred to in the first and third subpara-
graphs may be established in accordance with the procedurereferred to in Article 18, account being taken of sound scientificand statistical principles.
The results of the above surveys shall be notified to the Commis-
sion.The Commission shall forward this information to the otherMember 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 public2000L0029 — EN — 23.03.2002 — 002.001 — 8
▼B
servants, in the case of statements or measures related to the
issuing of the certificates specified in Article 7(1) or Article8(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 haveno personal interest in the outcome of the measures they takeand satisfy minimum standards of qualification.
Member States shall ensure that their public servants and qualified
agents have the qualifications necessary for the proper applicationof this Directive.In accordance with the procedure laid down inArticle 18, guidelines may be established for such qualifications.
The Commission shall, acting within the Standing Committee on
Plant Health, draw up Community programmes, the implementationof which it shall monitor, regarding the further training of thepublic servants and qualified agents concerned, in an effort to raisethe 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 inclu-sion of the necessary appropriations for that purpose in theCommunity 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 subparagraphor 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.

products and other objects which constitute a plant-health risk for all
parts of the Community, and Part B contains plants, plant productsand 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 Commu-nity.
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 inindividual specified cases to plants, plant products and other objectswhich 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, whichshall be updated regularly, shall be available to the Commission.

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 Commu-nity, 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 whichhave been taken or are planned for the purpose of combating thatharmful organism in order to eradicate or, if that is not possible,contain it.The Commission shall propose the entry of suitable appro-
priations 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
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 notbeen known to occur previously or had been or was being eradi-cated, and
— was introduced into that area through consignments of plants, plant
products or other objects from a third country or another area of theCommunity.
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 requestin respect of:
(i) plants, plant products or other objects constituting the consign-
ment(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 harmfulorganism introduced, which have been grown from plants inthe consignment(s) concerned or have been in close proximityto the plants, plant products or other objects of those consign-ments 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 harmfulorganism which has been introduced;
(c) prohibitions or restrictions in respect of the use of growing
substrates, cultivable areas or premises, as well as plants, plantproducts 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 ofthe 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 measuresdescribed in paragraph 2(c),2000L0029 — EN — 23.03.2002 — 002.001 — 26
▼B
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 theprocedure laid down in Article 18, cases in which compensation forloss of earnings shall be considered to be expenditure directly relatingto 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 Stateconcerned shall apply to the Commission, at the latest before the end
of the calendar year following that in which the appearance of the
harmful organism was detected, and shall forthwith inform theCommission 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,

ture incurred or to be incurred, and the proportion of suchexpenditure covered or to be covered from public funds allocatedby 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 detectionwithin the meaning of this paragraph and paragraph 5, provided thatthe 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 inexceptional cases, under the conditions laid down in the implementingRegulation referred to in paragraph 3, to loss of earnings occurringthereafter.
5.Without prejudice to Article 24, the allocation and the amount of
the financial contribution from the Community shall be decided inaccordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18, in the light ofthe information and documents submitted by the Member Stateconcerned in accordance with paragraph 4 and, where appropriate, theresults 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 toin the second indent of paragraph 1 above, and depending on theappropriations 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 para-graph 3, second subparagraph, up to 25 %, of expenditure relatingdirectly to the necessary measures referred to in paragraph 2, providedthat 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 theconclusion 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 thirdindent of paragraph 4, it shall indicate the presumed sources of the2000L0029 — EN — 23.03.2002 — 002.001 — 27
▼B
appearance and the reasons why the consignments could not be identi-
fied.The allocation of the financial contribution may be approved, inaccordance with the same procedure, depending on the outcome of an
assessment of that information.
Detailed rules for the implementation of this paragraph shall be estab-
lished in an implementing Regulation in accordance with the procedure
laid down in Article 18.
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 orthat measures taken or planned by the Member State concerned willbe made subject to certain requirements or additional conditions, ifthese 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 thesame 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 theMember State concerned, it may be decided, in accordance with thesame procedure, that the Community financial allocation shall covermore 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 concernedor individuals may have against others, including other Member Statesin the cases referred to in Article 24(3), for the refunding of expendi-
ture, compensation for losses or other damages under national law,
Community law or international law.Rights in these claims will bethe object of a transfer, by operation of law, to the Community witheffect from the payment of the financial contribution from the Commu-nity, to the extent that such expenditure, losses or other damages arecovered 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 allo-
cated to the Member State concerned pursuant to paragraphs 5 and 6may either be reduced or suspended, if it is established from the infor-mation 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 examinationwhich the Commission has conducted in accordance with the proce-dures analogous to those in Article 39 of Council Regulation (EC) No1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the

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 thatarea of one or more consignments carrying the harmful organism andshall 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 referredto 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,inspections and controls provided for in this Directive, in order todetermine why that Member State failed to detect that the consign-ment(s) did not comply with the provisions of this Directive.It shallalso 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 ofidentifying any failings in the Community's plant health regulations or
