THECOUNCILOFTHEEUROPEANUNION,
HavingregardtotheTreatyestablishingtheEuropeanCommunity,andinparticularArticle37thereof,
HavingregardtotheproposalfromtheCommission,HavingregardtotheopinionoftheEuropeanParliament(

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,ithasbeenamendedonanumberofoccasions,oftensubstantively(
4).Itshouldthereforebeconsolidated.
(2)PlantproductionisveryimportanttotheCommunity.
(3)Plant production yields are consistently reduced through theeffectsofharmfulorganisms.
(4)The protection of plants against such organisms is absolutelynecessary not only to avoid reduced yields but also to increaseagriculturalproductivity.
(5)Actionaimedatthesystematiceradicationofharmfulorganismswithin 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 appliedatthesametime.
(6)The need for such measures has long been recognised and theyhaveformedthesubject ofmany national regulations andinter-nationalconventions,includingtheInternationalPlantProtectionConvention(IPPC)of6December1951concludedattheUnitedNations Foodand Agricultural Organisation (FAO),which is of
worldwideinterest.
(7)Oneofthemostimportantmeasuresconsistsinlistingtheparti-
cularlydangerousharmfulorganismswhoseintroductionintotheCommunity must be prohibited and also the harmful organismswhose introduction into the Member States when carried bycertainplantsorplantproductsmustalsobeprohibited.
(8)The presence of some of these harmful organisms, when plantsor plant products are introduced fromcountries in which theseorganisms occur, cannot be effectively checked. It is thereforenecessarytomakeminimumprovisionforbansontheintroduc-tionofcertainplantsandplantproducts,ortoprovideforspecial

there is strong evidence that one of the plant-health provisions
hasnotbeenobserved.
(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 beattachedtoacertainnumberofderogationsasisattachedtothe
safeguard provisions.Therefore the urgency procedure specified
inthisDirectiveshouldalsobemadeapplicabletothesederoga-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-ductionorspreadofharmfulorganisms.TheCommissionshouldbe informed of all events which require the adoption of safe-guardmeasures.
(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.TheprovisionsofthisDirectiveshouldalsobeextendedtoprotectivemeasuresagainsttheintroductionofharmfulorgan-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 Articles2and10ofthatRegulation,applicationofthecommonagricul-tural policy is subject to the entry into force of specific supplyarrangements. Such application must also be accompanied byspecificmeasuresconcerningagriculturalproduction.
(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
constraintsfacedbythoseislands.
(15)To accommodate therefore the specific plant health situation in
theCanaryIslands,itisappropriatetoextendtheapplication of
certain measures of this Directive for a period expiring six
monthsafterthedatebywhichMemberStatesmusthaveimple-mentedforthcomingprovisionsdealingwiththeAnnexestothisDirective for the protection of the French overseas departmentsandoftheCanaryIslands.

inaccordancewithwhichsuchcertificatesmaybeissued,certain
rulesfortheuseofpreviousmodelsduringatransitionalperiod,and certification requirements in the case of the introduction ofplantsandplantproductsfromthirdcountries.

(18)The procedure applicable to certain types of amendments to be
madetotheAnnexestothisDirectiveshouldbesimplified.
(19)The scope of this Directive should be clarified in respect of
‘wood’.Inparticular, it isuseful to follow the detailed descrip-tionsof‘wood’setoutinCommunityRegulations.
(20)Certainseedsarenotincludedamongsttheplants,plantproductsandotherobjects,listedintheAnnexestothisDirective, which
mustbesubjected toa plant health inspection in the country of
origin or the consignor country before being permitted to enterintheCommunityorinintra-Communitytrade.
(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
inthethirdcountryoforigin.
(22)TheCommunityinspectionsmustbemadebyexpertsemployedby the Commission, and also by experts employed by MemberStates, whose services are made available to the Commission.Therolesoftheseexpertsshouldbedefined inconnection with
theactivitiesrequiredundertheCommunityplanthealthregime.
(23)The scopeof the regime shouldnolonger be restricted to trade
between Member States and third countries, but should also beextendedtomarketingwithinsingleMemberStates.
(24)Inprinciple,allpartsoftheCommunityshouldbenefitfromthe
same degree of protection against harmful organisms. However,
differences in ecological conditions and in the distribution ofcertainharmfulorganismsmustbetakenintoaccount.Inconse-quence,‘protectedzones’exposedtoparticularplanthealthrisksshould be defined and should be accorded special protectionunderconditionscompatiblewiththeinternalmarket.
(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 toCommunity products ontheonehandandthoseapplicabletoimportsfromthirdcountrieson
the other, and to identify harmful organisms relevant for
protectedzones.
(26)The most appropriate place forcarrying 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 systemof checks, all producers should be officiallyregistered.
(27)To ensure more effective application of the Community plant-
health regime intheinternal market, it mustbepossibletouse,
for the purpose of plant-health checks, available officialmanpower other than that of Member States' official plant-protection services, whose training should be coordinated andsupportedfinanciallybytheCommunity.
(28)Iftheresultsofthechecksaresatisfactory,insteadofthephyto-
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 movementthroughouttheCommunityorthosepartsthereofforwhichitisvalid.
(29)Theofficialmeasurestobetakenwhentheresultsofthechecksarenotsatisfactoryshouldbespecified.
(30)To ensure compliance with the Community plant-health regimeinthecontextoftheinternalmarket,asystemofofficialchecksduring marketing should be established. This system should beas reliable and uniform as possible throughout the Community2000L0029—EN—30.12.2002—004.001—4

butshouldexcludespecificcontrolsatbordersbetweenMember
States.
(31)Intheframeworkoftheinternal market, productsoriginating 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 thesamewayasCommunityproducts.
(32)In order to confront the situation created by the completion oftheinternal market withthe necessary guarantees, it isessentialto 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-priationsforthatpurpose.
(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 personnelresponsibleforplant-health.TheCommissionwillsubmit,before1January1993,aCommunitycodeofplant-healthpractice.
(34)It is no longer possible for Member States to adopt any special
plant-health provisionsontheintroduction intotheirterritory of
plantsorplant productsoriginating inotherMemberStates.Allprovisions on plant-health requirements for plants and plantproductsshouldbeestablishedatCommunitylevel.
(35)It is necessary to establish a system of Community financial
contributionstoshareatCommunityleveltheburdenofpossible
risks which might remain in trade under the Community plant-healthregime.
(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
infrastructureattheCommunity'sexternalfrontiers.
(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, torepairthedamagecaused.
(38)ThedetailsofthemechanismforgrantingtheCommunityfinan-cialcontributionshouldbedeterminedunderarapidprocedure.
(39)ItmustbeensuredthattheCommissionisinformedinfullofthepossible causes for the introduction of the harmful organismsconcerned.
(40)Inparticular,theCommissionshouldmonitorcorrectapplicationoftheCommunityplant-healthregime.
(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,takingintoaccountcertainspecificmeasures.
(42)ItisappropriateforMemberStatesandtheCommissiontocoop-
eratecloselywithintheStandingCommitteeonPlantHealthset
