COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2002/36/EC

of 29 April 2002

amending certain Annexes to Council Directive 2000/29/EC on protective measures against the
introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against
their spread within the Community

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(6)

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 of organisms harmful to plants or plant products
their spread within the Community (1), as last
and against
amended by Commission Directive 2002/28/EC (2), and in
particular the second paragraph, subparagraphs (c) and (d) of
Article 14, thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

(5)

Measures should be taken to protect the Community
against Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller, Anoplo-
phora glabripennis (Motschulsky) and Naupactus leucoloma
Boheman, harmful organisms which have not hitherto
been known to occur in the Community.

The current provisions against Liriomyza bryoniae (Kalten-
bach)
should be modified by restricting them to
protected zones in Ireland and the United Kingdom
(North Ireland) where it has been determined that this
organism is not present.

The list of host plants of Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blan-
chard) and Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess) should be modified
to take into account of the updated information on the
relationship between these harmful organisms and their
host plants.

sativae

Due to continued interceptions of Bemisia tabaci Genn.,
Liriomyza
(Blanchard), Amauromyza maculosa
(Malloch), Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard), Liriomyza
trifolii (Burgess) and Thrips palmi Karny on commodities,
the current provisions on protective measures against
the introduction into and spread within the Community,
with a view to ensuring more effective protection,
should be improved.

These improved protective measures should include the
use of a plant passport for plants or plant products
originating in the Community and a phytosanitary certif-
icate for plants or plant products originating in third
countries.

(1) OJ L 169, 10.7.2000, p. 1.
(2) OJ L 77, 20.3.2002, p. 23.

The current provisions against beet necrotic yellow vein
virus should be modified in order to reflect the conclu-
sions of a Commission Working Group having assessed
the phytosanitary risk associated with this harmful
organism in the relevant protected zones recognised in
the Community.

The current provisions against Tilletia indica Mitra should
be modified to take into account of the updated infor-
mation on the presence of this harmful organism in
South Africa.

The incorrect listing of Malta and Cyprus as non-Euro-
pean countries should be rectified in Annex IV, Part A,
Section I, point 34, and Annex V, Part B, Section I, point
7(b), to Directive 2000/29/EC.

The amendments are in accordance with the requests of
the Member States concerned.

Therefore the relevant annexes to Directive 2000/29/EC
should be amending accordingly.

The measures provided for in this Directive are in
accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee
on Plant Health,
