In cases of movements within demarcated areas of Portugal: (a) susceptible plants: — grown in places of production where no symptoms of PWN have been observed, or in its immediate vicinity since the beginning of the last complete cycle of vegetation and found free from signs or symptoms of PWN during official inspections, shall be accompanied by the said plant passport when moved from the place of production, — grown in places of production where symptoms of PWN have been observed, or in its immediate vicinity, since the beginning of the last complete cycle of vegetation or identified as infested by PWN shall not be moved from the place of production and shall be destroyed by burning, — grown in places, such as forests, public or private gardens, which are either identified as infested by PWN, or showing any symptoms of poor health or situated in salvage areas, shall: — if identified in the period 1 November to 1 April, be felled within that period, or — if identified in the period 2 April to 31 October, be felled immediately and, — if located in the part of demarcated areas designated as buffer zones in accordance with the provisions of Article 5, tested for the presence of PWN. If the presence is confirmed, the delimitation of the demarcated areas shall be changed accordingly; (b) during the period between 1 November and 1 April, susceptible wood in the form of roundwood or sawnwood, with or without bark, including that which has not kept its natural round surface: (i) obtained from trees identified as infested by PWN, or situated in salvage areas, or showing any symptoms of poor health, shall before 2 April either be: — destroyed by burning under official control at appropriate places, or — moved under official control to either: — a processing plant to be chipped and utilised within this plant, or — an industrial plant for use as fuel wood within this plant, or — a processing plant, where the wood shall either be: — heat treated in such a way that a minimum wood core temperature of 56 °C for 30 minutes has been achieved, or — chipped and fumigated in order to ensure freedom from live PWNs; (ii) obtained from trees other than those referred to in subparagraph (i) shall be officially tested for the presence of PWN and of Monochamus spp.; if the presence of PWN or of Monochamus spp. is confirmed the wood shall be subjected to the provisions referred to in subparagraph (i); if the presence of PWN and of Monochamus spp. is refuted, the wood may be moved under official control to a processing plant for further use as construction timber, or by way of derogation moved into areas in Portugal, other than demarcated areas under official control to approved processing plants notified to the Commission, where the wood or chips made from such wood, within the period between 1 November and 1 April, shall either: — in the case of chips, be used for industrial purposes within such an approved processing plant, or — in the case of wood: — be heat treated in such a way that a minimum wood-core temperature of 56 °C for 30 minutes has been achieved. Further movement of such heat-treated wood may be allowed when the wood is accompanied by a plant passport, or — be chipped and fumigated in order to ensure freedom from live PWNs. Further movement of such fumigated wood may be allowed when it is accompanied by a plant passport, or — be chipped and used for industrial purposes within this plant, or — be moved under official control to a plant, where the wood shall either be: — heat treated in such a way that a minimum wood core temperature of 56 °C for 30 minutes has been achieved, or — chipped and fumigated in order to ensure freedom from live pine wood nematodes, or — chipped and used for industrial purposes; (c) during the period between 2 April and 31 October, susceptible wood in the form of roundwood or sawnwood, with or without bark, including that which has not kept its natural round surface: (i) obtained from trees identified as infested by PWN, or situated in salvage areas, or showing any symptoms of poor health, shall either be: — immediately destroyed by burning under official control at appropriate places, or — immediately stripped of bark at appropriate places outside the forest before being moved under official control to storage places where the wood is treated with an appropriate insecticide or which have appropriate and approved wet storage facilities, available at least during the above period, with a view to a further movement to an industrial plant: — to be immediately chipped and used for industrial purposes, or — for immediate use as fuel within this plant, or — to be immediately heat treated in such a way that a minimum wood core temperature of 56 °C for 30 minutes has been achieved, or — to be immediately chipped and fumigated in order to ensure freedom from live PWNs; (ii) obtained from trees other than those referred to in subparagraph (i) shall be immediately stripped of bark at the place of felling or in the immediate vicinity and either be: — officially tested for the presence of PWN and of Monochamus spp.; if the presence of PWN or of Monochamus spp. is confirmed the wood shall be subjected to the provisions referred to in (i); if the presence of PWN and of Monochamus spp. is refuted, the wood may be moved under official control to a processing plant for further use as construction timber, or — moved under official control to a plant where the wood shall either be: — chipped and used for industrial purposes, or — heat treated in such a way that a minimum wood core temperature of 56 °C for 30 minutes has been achieved, or — chipped and fumigated in order to ensure freedom from live PWNs; (d) susceptible bark shall be — destroyed by burning or used as fuel at an industrial processing plant, or — heat treated in such a way that a minimum temperature of 56 °C for 30 minutes has been achieved throughout the bark, or — fumigated in order to ensure freedom from live PWNs; (e) susceptible wood in the form of waste produced at the time of felling, shall be burned at appropriate places under official control: — in the period 1 November to 1 April, within that period, or — in the period 2 April to 31 October, immediately; (f) susceptible wood, in the form of waste produced during wood processing, shall either be immediately burned at appropriate places under official control, used as fuel wood at the processing plant or fumigated in order to ensure freedom live PWNs; (g) susceptible wood, in the form of packing cases, boxes, crates, drums and similar packings, pallets, box pallets and other load boards, pallet collars, dunnage, spacers and bearers, including that which has not kept its natural round surface, shall: — be stripped of its bark, — be free from grub holes which are larger than 3 mm across, — have a moisture content expressed as a percentage of dry matter of less than 20 % achieved at time of manufacture.
