            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2023/1706
of 7 September 2023
         
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201 as regards the lists of plants known to be susceptible to Xylella fastidiosa



THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 2016 on protective measures against pests of plants, amending Regulations (EU) No 228/2013, (EU) No 652/2014 and (EU) No 1143/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Directives 69/464/EEC, 74/647/EEC, 93/85/EEC, 98/57/EC, 2000/29/EC, 2006/91/EC and 2007/33/EC (1), and in particular Article 28(1) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Annexes I and II to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201 (2) list the plants for planting, other than seeds, known to be susceptible to one or more subspecies, and to specific subspecies, of Xylella fastidiosa (Wells et al.) (‘the specified pest’).












(2)


Since the adoption of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201, the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) has updated its database of plants for planting, other than seeds, known to be susceptible to the specified pest by including Anthyllis barbajovis L., Arbutus unedo L., Argyranthemum frutescens (L.) Sch.Bip., Berberis thunbergii DC., Calocephalus brownii (Cass.) F.Muell., Cortaderia selloana (Schult. & Schult.f.) Asch. & Graebn., Citrus limon (L.) Osbeck, Citrus paradisi Macfad., Citrus reticulata Blanco, Clematis vitalba L., Cortaderia selloana (Schult. & Schult.f.) Asch. & Graebn., Dittrichia viscosa (L.) Greuter, Elaeagnus angustifolia L., Elaeagnus x submacrophylla Servett., Erica cinerea L., Eriocephalus africanus L., Ficus carica L., Gazania rigens (L.) Gaertn., Genista hirsuta Vahl., Hypericum androsaemum L., Hypericum perforatum L., Jacobaea maritima (L.) Pelser & Meijden, Magnolia x soulangeana Soul.-Bod., Myoporum laetum G. Forst., Myrtus communis L., Olea europaea subsp. sylvestris (Mill.) Rouy, Pelargonium graveolens L’Hér., Phlomis italica L., Retama monosperma (L.) Boiss., Ruta graveolens L., Salvia apiana Jeps., Scabiosa atropurpurea var. maritima L., Strelitzia reginae Aiton, Syringa vulgaris L., Thymus vulgaris L., Ulex europaeus L., Viburnum tinus L. and Vitex agnus-castus L. as hosts of certain subspecies of the specified pest (3). Annexes I and II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201 should therefore reflect that update.












(3)


In the case of the genus Phoenix, it is appropriate to list the species Phoenix reclinata Jacquin and Phoenix roebelenii O’Brien in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201, as only those two species have been found to be susceptible to the specified pest according to the latest update by the Authority of the database of plants for planting, other than seeds, known to be susceptible to the specified pest.












(4)


In the case of the genus Lonicera, it is appropriate to list the species Lonicera implexa Soland. and Lonicera japonica Thunb. in Annexes I and II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201, as only those two species have been found to be susceptible to the Xylella fastidiosa subspecies multiplex according to the latest update by the Authority of the database of plants for planting, other than seeds, known to be susceptible to the specified pest.












(5)



Phillyrea latifolia L. should be removed from the list of specified plants susceptible to the Xylella fastidiosa subspecies multiplex in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201 because it was mistakenly reported by Member States as a specified plant.












(6)



Fortunella should be removed from Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201 because it has never been reported by Member States and neither is it included in the Authority’s database of plants for planting, other than seeds, known to be susceptible to the specified pest.












(7)


The names of certain plants in Annexes I and II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201 should be updated to reflect the latest developments of the international nomenclature. In this respect, the denominations of the species Osteospermum ecklonis DC./Osteospermum ecklonis DC. Norl. and Osteospermum fruticosum (L.) Norl., which are listed in Annexes I and II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201, should be replaced by the denominations Dimorphotheca ecklonis (DC.) Norl. and Dimorphotheca fruticosa (L.) Norl.












(8)


For purposes of clarity and accuracy, the authors should be added in the names of certain genera and species in Annexes I and II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201, where those indications were missing.












(9)


Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201 should therefore be amended accordingly.












(10)


The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
