As regards IPN, both Finland and Sweden have asked for an evaluation of the further approach and scope of the surveillance and eradication programmes for that disease. At current situation the definition of IPN has been interpreted to include all genogroups of IPN-virus. Only strains of IPN-virus genogroup 5 are known to cause mortality and clinical disease in farmed salmonids in Europe, and other genogroups should therefore not be included in those eradication programmes. A decision on this issue can, however, only be made on the basis of a comprehensive scientific evaluation. Until such evaluation is completed, it is appropriate to prolong the ongoing IPN eradication programmes. The possibility to apply placing on the market and import restrictions as set out in Decision 2010/221/EU should therefore be extended by 2 more years also for this purpose.

amending Implementing Decision 2012/138/EU as regards the conditions of introduction into and movement within the Union of specified plants to prevent the introduction and the spread of Anoplophora chinensis (Forster)

Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular the fourth sentence of Article 16(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Implementing Decision 2012/138/EU (2) allows the introduction into the Union of plants that have been grown during a period of at least two years prior to export in a place of production established as free from Anoplophora chinensis (Forster) (hereinafter: ‘the specified organism’).

(2) It appears from information supplied by China that plants which are younger than two years and which have been grown throughout their life, in a place of production established as free from the specified organism, but not situated in a pest free area, do not cause any additional risk of the introduction of that organism. Therefore it is appropriate to also allow the import of such plants.

(3) It is also appropriate to allow the introduction of such plants from other third countries and to allow movement within the Union.

(4) Annex I to Implementing Decision 2012/138/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.

(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
