COMMISSIONDIRECTIVE2001/32/EC
of8May2001

intheCommunityandrepealing Directive 92/76/EEC
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on
protective measures against the introduction into the Community oforganisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spreadwithin the Community (
1), and in particular the first subparagraph of
Article 2(1)(h) thereof,
Having regard to the requests made by Denmark, Greece, Spain,
France, Ireland, Italy, Austria, Portugal, Finland, Sweden and theUnited Kingdom,
Whereas:
(1) Under the provisions of Directive 2000/29/EC, ‘protected zones’
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) Since then, there have been significant developments in the planthealth status of some of these zones initially recognised as
protected zones in respect of the relevant harmful organisms.
(3) From information supplied by Denmark it appears that it is nolonger appropriate to maintain the protected zone recognised for
Denmark in respect of Bemisia tabaci Genn.(European popula-
tions) and tomato spotted wilt virus.
(4) Certain provisions on protective measures in Portugal againstGonipterus scutellatus Gyll.and in the United Kingdom and in
Ireland against Pissodes spp.(European) should be modified to
take into account the present distribution of these organisms inthe respective countries.
(5) From information supplied by United Kingdom and Sweden itappears that following local government reorganisation, the
current description of the respective protected zones in respect
ofDendroctonus micans Kugelan and Leptinotarsa decemlineata
Say should be modified.
(6) Under Directive 92/76/EEC, Austria, Ireland and the regions ofApulia, Emilia-Romagna, Lombardia and Veneto in Italy wereprovisionally recognised as protected zone in respect of Erwinia
amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. for a period expiring on 31
March 2001.
(7) From information 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
for a further limited period.
(8) From information supplied by Austria and Italy it appears thatsome areas within Austria and Italy should not longer be recog-nised as protected zones in respect of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.)
Winsl.et al. , whilst other areas should be recognised asprotected zones in respect of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl.
et al.for a further limited period.2001L0032 — EN — 23.03.2002 — 001.001 — 2

(9) From information supplied by France it appears that some areas
within France should not longer be recognised as protected zones
in respect of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al.
(10) From information supplied by United Kingdom it appears that
the provisional recognition of the protected zone for United
Kingdom in respect of beet necrotic yellow vein virus should
be extended for a further limited period.
(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,this Directive should enter into force and be transposed as soonas possible.
(12) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordancewith the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
