THE COUNCIL OFTHE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
■
Havmfcj regard totheTreaty establishing theEuropean Economic Community ,
Having regard toCouncil Directive 77/93/EECof21December 1976 onprotective
measures against theintroduction into theMember States ofharmful organisms
(1)ofplant orplant products ,and inparticular Article 13thereof ,
Having regard totheproposal from theCommission ,
Whereas Directive 77/93/EEC l3id down themeasures which Member States must or
mayapply ,ongrounds oftheprotection ofplant health ,tointra-community
trade inplants orplant products ortotheir importation from non-member
countries ; % '
.k
Whereas ,inthe interests ofauniform implementation oftheabovement loned (
Directive ,theterm "Harmful viruses andmycoplasmas "offruit ,plants (in
particular Annex I(A)(e)(1 )should beclarified atCommunity level ;whereas ,
therefore ,anamendment toAnnex 1(A)(e)andtoAnnex II'(A).(d )isnecessary ;
whereas the "Special requirements "established inregard totheharmful
organisms concerned (Annex IV(A ))should beadapted accordingly ;
Whereas anyrisk should beprevented which mayarise from theintroduction
onpotato breeding material ,ofharmful organisms unknown 1ritheCommunity ;
whereas ,therefore ,theprotective measures laid down inthis connection in
Annex III(A )should beextended ;
COJNoL26,31.1.1977 ,p.20.

Whereas themeasures laid down in,theabovementioned Directive ,inregard to
oakwood intheround ,against theintroduction ofoakwilt (Ceratocystis
fagacearum )into theCommunity have ontheonehand proved insufficient ,and .
ontheother unnecessarily strict ;whereas therefore ,the "special requirements
established inrespect ofthis disease (Annex IV(A)(2 )should take into account
thetechnical safeguards which have been recognized since then ;
Whereas itisappropriate ,furthermore ,toclarify certain points andto
eliminate some ambiguities incertain other provisions oftheAnnexes tothe .
