COMMISSIONDIRECTIVE2001/32/EC

THECOMMISSIONOFTHEEUROPEANCOMMUNITIES,
HavingregardtotheTreatyestablishingtheEuropeanCommunity,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on
protective measures against the introduction into the Community oforganismsharmful toplantsorplant productsandagainst theirspreadwithin the Community(
1), and in particular the first subparagraph of
Article2(1)(h)thereof,
Having regard to the requests made by Denmark, Greece, Spain,
France, Ireland, Italy, Austria, Portugal, Finland, Sweden and theUnitedKingdom,
Whereas:
(1)UndertheprovisionsofDirective2000/29/EC,‘protectedzones’
exposed to particular plant health risks may be defined and
therefore may be accorded special protection under conditions
compatible with the internal market. Such zones were definedin Commission Directive 92/76/EEC of 6 October 1992, recog-nising protected zones exposed to particular plant health risksin the Community(
2) as last amended by Directive 2000/23/
EC(3).
(2)Sincethen,therehavebeensignificantdevelopmentsintheplanthealth status of some of these zones initially recognised as
protectedzonesinrespectoftherelevantharmfulorganisms.
(3)From information supplied by Denmark it appears that it is nolongerappropriatetomaintaintheprotectedzonerecognisedfor
Denmark inrespect of Bemisia tabaci Genn.(European popula-
tions)andtomatospottedwiltvirus.
(4)Certain provisions on protective measures in Portugal againstGonipterus scutellatus Gyll. and in the United Kingdomand in
Ireland against Pissodesspp. (European) should be modified to
take into account the present distribution of these organisms intherespectivecountries.
(5)Frominform ation supplied by United Kingdomand Sweden itappears that following local government reorganisation, the
current description of the respective protected zones in respect
ofDendroctonus micans Kugelanand Leptinotarsa decemlineata
Sayshouldbemodified.
(6)Under Directive 92/76/EEC, Austria, Ireland and the regions ofApulia, Emilia-Romagna, Lombardia and Veneto in Italy wereprovisionallyrecognisedasprotectedzoneinrespectof Erwinia
amylovora(Burr.) Winsl. et al. for a period expiring on 31
March2001.
(7)Frominform ation supplied by Ireland it appears that the provi-sional recognition of the protected zones for Ireland in respect
ofErwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. should be extended
forafurtherlimitedperiod.
(8)Frominform ation supplied by Austria and Italy it appears thatsomeareaswithinAustriaandItalyshouldnotlongerberecog-nisedasprotectedzonesinrespectof Erwinia amylovora (Burr.)

(10)Frominform ation supplied by United Kingdomit appears that
the provisional recognition of the protected zone for UnitedKingdomin respect of beet necrotic yellow vein virus shouldbeextendedforafurtherlimitedperiod.
(11)It is therefore necessary to modify the existing designation ofprotected zones. In the interest of clarity, a new list of such
zones should be adopted. Directive 92/76/EEC should therefore
be repealed. In view of the continuing plant health problems,thisDirective shouldenterintoforceandbetransposedassoonaspossible.
