 ---pagebreak---  ---pagebreak---                                  EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.   In the context of people's Europe, the Commission attaches great importance to simplify-
     ing and clarifying Community law so as to make it clearer and more accessible to the
     ordinary citizen, thus giving him new opportunities and the chance to make use of the
     specific rights it gives him.
     This aim cannot be achieved so long as numerous provisions have been amended several
     times, often quite substantially, remain scattered, so that they must be sought partly in the
     original instrument and partly in later amending ones. Considerable research work, com-
     paring many different instruments, is thus needed to identify the current rules.
     For this reason a consolidation of rules that have frequently been amended is also essen-
     tial if Community law is to be clear and transparent.
2.   On 1 April 1987 the Commission therefore decided to instruct its staff that all legislative
     measures should be consolidated after no more than ten amendments, stressing that this
     was a minimum requirement and that departments should endeavour to consolidate at
     even shorter intervals the texts for which they were responsible, to ensure that the Com-
     munity rules were clear and readily understandable.
3.   The Conclusions of the Presidency of the Edinburgh European Council (December 1992)
     confirmed this, stressing the importance of legislative consolidation as it offers certainty as
     to the law applicable to a given matter at a given time.
     It must be undertaken in full compliance with the normal Community legislative pro-
     cedure.
     Given that no changes of substance may be made to the instruments affected by legislative
     consolidation. Parliament, the Council and the Commission have agreed, by an interinstitu-
     tional agreement dated 20 December 1994, that an accelerated procedure may be used for
     the fast-track adoption of codification instruments.
4.   The purpose of this proposal (l) for legislative consolidation of Council Directive
     77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the
     Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread
     within the Community is to undertake official codification of this type. The new directive
     will supersede the various directives incorporated in it ( 2 ); their content is fully preserved,
     and they are brought together with only such formal amendments as are required by the
     codification exercise itself.
4a. Annex VIII to Directive 77/93/EEC (Annex VII to this consolidation proposal) provides
     for EEC numbers on plant health certificates.
     The Treaty on European Union replaced the words 'European Economic Community' by
     'European Community'. The same change should be made to the above certificates.
     Even if this could be regarded as a purely formal amendment, Member States will have to
     transpose it into national law if certificates bearing the abbreviation EC are to be used.
     There would also be a risk of a financial impact on operators if the new certificates had to
     be used forthwith. A period should therefore be fixed during which the EEC certificates
     may still be used.
    (*) Entered in the legislative programme for 1995.
    (2) See part A of Annex VIE.
 ---pagebreak--- For those reasons and since a consolidation directive does not have to be transposed, as
the consolidated directives are presumed to have been transposed in the time allowed, the
amendment cannot be incorporated in the consolidation proposal as a purely formal ad-
justment.
On 7 June 1995 the Commission accordingly presented a proposal (COM(95)239 final -
95/0134 (CNS)) for amendment of Directive 77/93/EEC to replace the abbreviation EEC
by EC on the certificates.
Once that proposal has been adopted by the Council, it will be possible to incorporate the
amendment in the consolidation proposal.
This legislative consolidation proposal was drawn up on the basis of a preliminarv conso-
 lidation, in all the official languages, of Directive 77/93/EEC and the instruments amend-
ing it, carried out by the Office for Official Publications of the European Communities, by
means of the data processing system referred to in the conclusions of the European Coun-
cil meeting at Edinburgh. Although the articles have been given new numbers, the old
 numbering has been retained in the margin for ease of reference; the correlation between
 the old and the new numbers is shown in a table set out in Annex IX to the consolidated
Directive.

                  plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community
     THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
     Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
     Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
     Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
     Having regard to the opinion of the European Parlia-
     ment (1),
     Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and So-
     cial Committee (2),
(1)  Whereas Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December
     1976, on protective measures against the introduction
     into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or
     plant products and against their spread within the Com-
     munity (3); whereas for the sake of clarity and rational-
     ity, it has been amended on a number of occasions,
     often substantively (4), it should therefore be consoli-
     dated;
(2)  Whereas plant production is very important to the Com-                77/93/EEC
     munity;
(3)  Whereas plant production yields are consistently reduced              77/93/EEC
     through the effects of harmful organisms;
(4)  Whereas the protection of plants against such organisms               77/93/EEC
     is absolutely necessary not only to avoid reduced yields
     but also to increase agricultural productivity;
(5)  Whereas aaion aimed at the systematic eradication of                  77/93/EEC
     harmful organisms within the Community, established by
     the plant health regime applicable in the Community as                93/19/EEC
     an area without internal frontiers, would have only li-               (adapted)
     mited effect if protective measures against their intro-              77/93/EEC
     duction into the Community were not applied at the                    (adapted)
     same time;
 (6) Whereas the need for such measures has long been rec-                 77/93/EEC
      ognized and they have formed the subject of many                     (adapted)
      national regulations and international conventions, in-
      cluding the International Plant Protection Convention
      (IPPC) of 6 December 1951 concluded at the United
      Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO),
      which is of world-wide interest;

      (4) See Annex VOI, Part A.
 ---pagebreak---  (7) Whereas one of the most important measures consists in         77/93/EEC
     listing the particularly dangerous harmful organisms           (adapted)
     whose introduction into the Community must be pro-
     hibited and also the harmful organisms whose introduc-
     tion into the Member States when carried by certain
     plants or plant products must also be prohibited;
 (8) Whereas the presence of some of these harmful organ-       10. 77/93/EEC
     isms, when plants or plant products are introduced from
     countries in which these organisms occur, cannot be ef-
     fectively checked; whereas it is therefore necessary to
     make minimum provision for bans on the introduction of
     certain plants and plant products, or to provide for
     special checks to be made in the producer countries;
 (9) Whereas such plant health checks must be limited to in-    19. 77/93/EEC
     troductions of products originating in non-member              (adapted)
     countries and to cases where there is strong evidence
     that one of the plant-health provisions has not been ob-
     served;
(10) Whereas it is necessary to make provision under certain    21. 77/93/EEC
     conditions permitting derogations from a certain number        (adapted)
     of provisions; whereas experience has shown that the
     same degree of urgency may be attached to a certain         +
     number of derogations as is attached to the safeguard
     provisions; whereas therefore the urgency procedure        10. 85/574/EEC
     specified in this Directive should also be made appli-         (adapted)
     cable to these derogations;
(11) Whereas temporary safeguard measures not laid down in       3. 90/168/EEC
     this Directive should normally be adopted by the               (adapted)
     Member State where the problem originates in the case      22. 77/93/EEC
     of imminent danger of the introduction or spread of            (adapted)
     harmful organisms; whereas the Commission should be         3. 90/168/EEC
     informed of all events which require the adoption of           (adapted)
     safeguard measures;
(12)  Whereas given the importance of the trade in plants and    2. 89/439/EEC
     plant products between the French overseas departments         (adapted)
      and the remainder of the Community, it is desirable to
      apply the provisions of this Directive to them; whereas
      in view of the special nature of the agricultural produc-
      tion of the French overseas departments, it is appropri-
      ate to provide for additional protective measures justi-
      fied on grounds of the protection of health and life of
      plants therein; whereas the provisions of this Directive
      should also be extended to protective measures against
      the introduction of harmful organisms into the French
      overseas departments from other parts of France;
 ---pagebreak--- (13)  Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1911/91 of 26                1. 94/13/EC
      June 1991 on the applications of the provisions of Com-
      munity law to the Canary Islands (*) integrates the Ca-
      nary Islands into the Community customs territory and
      into the common policies; whereas, under Articles 2 and
      10 of that Regulation, application of the common agri-
      cultural policy is subject to the entry into force of spe-
      cific supply arrangements; whereas such application must
      also be accompanied by specific measures concerning
      agricultural production;
(14)  Whereas Council Decision 91/314/EEC of 26 June 1991                 94/13/EC
      setting up a programme of options specific to the remote            (adapted)
      and insular nature of the Canary Islands (Poseican) (2)
      outlines the options to be implemented to take account
      of the specific problems and constraints faced by those
      islands;
(15)  Whereas, to accommodate therefore the specific plant                94/13/EC
      health situation in the Canary Islands, it is appropriate           (adapted)
      to extend the application of certain measures of this Di-
      rective for a period expiring six months after the date by
      which Member States must have implemented forthcom-
      ing provisions dealing with the Annexes to this Directive
      for.the protection of the French overseas departments
      and of the Canary Islands;
 (16) Whereas it is appropriate to adopt, for the purposes of             87/298/EEC
       this Directive, the model certificates approved under the          (adapted)
      IPPC, as amended on 21 November 1979, in a standard-
       ized lay-out which has been drawn up in close cooper-
       ation with international organizations; whereas it is also         85/574/EEC
       appropriate to lay down certain rules concerning the               (adapted)
       conditions in accordance with which such certificates
       may be issued, certain rules for the use of previous mo-
       dels during a transitional period, and certification re-
       quirements in the case of the introduction of plants and
       plant products from third countries;
 (17)  Whereas in the case of importations of plants or plant          5. 80/392/EEC
       products from third countries the authorities responsible          (adapted)
       in such countries for issuing certificates should be, in
       principle, those empowered under the IPPC and it could
       be desirable to establish lists of these authorities for the
       non-contracting third countries;
 (18)  Whereas the procedure applicable to certain types of            6. 85/574/EEC
       amendments to be made to the Annexes to this Direc-                 (adapted)

      plant health inspection in the country of origin or the
      consignor country before being permitted to enter in the
      Community or in intra-Coramunity trade;
(21)  Whereas it is appropriate to provide in certain cases that     89/439/EEC
      the official inspection of plants, plant products and other    (adapted)
      objects coming from third countries should be carried
      out by the Commission in the third country of origin;
(22)  Whereas the Community inspections must be made by              89/439/EEC
      experts employed by the Commission, and also by ex-            (adapted)
      perts employed by Member States, whose services are
      made available to the Commission; whereas the roles of         89/439/EEC
      these experts should be defined in connection with the
      activities required under the Community plant health re-
      gime;
(23)  Whereas the scope of the regime should no longer be         2. 91/683/EEC
      restricted to trade between Member States and third            (adapted)
      countries, but should also be extended to marketing
      within single Member States;
 (24) Whereas, in principle, all parts of the Community should    3. 91/683/EEC
      benefit from the same degree of protection against
      harmful organisms; whereas, however, differences in eco-
      logical conditions and in the distribution of certain
      harmful organisms must be taken into account; whereas,
      in consequence, 'protected zones' exposed to particular
      plant health risks should be defined and should be ac-
      corded special protection under conditions compatible
      with the internal market;
 (25) Whereas the application of the Community plant health          91/683/EEC
       regime to the Community as an area without internal            (adapted)
       frontiers, and the introduction of protected zones make
       it necessary to distinguish between requirements appli-
       cable to Community products on the one hand and
       those applicable to imports from third countries on the
       other, and to identify harmful organisms relevant for
       protected zones;
 (26)  Whereas the most appropriate place for carrying out            91/683/EEC
       plant-health checks is the place of production; whereas,
       in respect of Community products, these checks must
       therefore be made mandatory at the place of production
       and should extend to all relevant plants and plant prod-
        ucts grown, produced, used or otherwise present there,
        and to the growing medium used there; whereas, for the
        efficient operation of such a system of checks, all pro-
        ducers should be officially registered;
 ---pagebreak--- (27)   Whereas to ensure more effective application of the           4.  91/683/EEC
       Community plant-health regime in the internal market, it          (adapted)
       must be possible to use, for the purpose of plant-health
       checks, available official manpower other than that of
       Member States' official plant-protection services, whose
       training should be coordinated and supported financially
       by the Community;
(2S)   Whereas, if the results of the checks are satisfactory, in-       91/6S3/EEC
       stead of the phytosanitary certificate used in interna-
       tional trade, Community products will bear a conven-
       tional mark ('plant passport'), adapted to the type of
       product, in order to ensure its free movement through-
       out the Community' or those parts thereof for which it is
       valid;
(29)   Whereas the official measures to be taken when the re-       10.  91/6S3/EEC
       sults of the checks are not satisfactory should be speci-
       fied:
 (30)  Whereas, to ensure compliance with the Community             11.  91/683/EEC
       plant-health regime in the context of the internal market,
       a system of official checks during marketing should be
        established; whereas this system should be as reliable
        and uniform as possible throughout the Community but
        should exclude specific controls at borders between
        Member States:
 (31)   Whereas, in the framework of the internal market, prod-     12.  91/683/EEC
        ucts originating in third countries should in principle be        (adapted)
        subjected to plant-health checks on first introduction
        into the Community; whereas, if the results of the checks
        arc satisfactory, third country products should be issued
        with a 'plant passport' ensuring free movement in the
        same way as Community products:
 (32)   Whereas, in order to confront the situation created by      13.   91/683/EEC
        the completion of the internal market with the necessary          (adapted)

        inspection infrastructure at national and Community
        level at the Community's external frontiers, paying par-
        ticular attention to those Member States which, by rea-
        son of their geographical situation, are points of entry to
        the Community: whereas the Commission will propose

1. This Directive concerns protective measures against
the introduction into the Member States from other

that the objectives and effectiveness of inspections are not
jeopardized. They shall ensure that the experts may carry
out their tasks without hindrance, and shall take all reason-
able steps to provide them, on their request, with the
 available necessary facilities, including laboratory equip-
 ment and laboratory staff. The Commission shall ensure
 refunding of expenses resulting from such requests, within
 the limits of appropriations available for that purpose in

on their activities and their findings.
Where the task consists of carrying out in cooperation with
the Member States the inspections pursuant to Article 13
(1), those inspections shall be integrated in an established
inspection programme and the rules of procedure estab-
lished by the Member State concerned shall be complied
with; however, in the case of a joint inspection, the Mem-
ber State concerned will only allow the introduction of a
consignment into the Community if its plant protection or-
ganization and the Commission are in agreement. In accor-
dance with the procedure laid down in Article 18, this
condition may be extended to other irrevocable require-
ments applied to consignments before introduction into the
Community if experience shows such extension to be nec-
essary. Should the Community expert and the national in-
spector fail to agree, the Member State concerned shall
 take any necessary temporary measures, pending a defini-
 tive decision.
 In all cases, national provisions in respect of criminal pro-
 ceedings and administrative penalties shall apply according
 to the normal procedures. Where the experts identify a
 suspected infringement of the provisions of this Directive,
 this shall be notified to the competent authorities of the
 Member State concerned.
 6.    The Commission shall:
 — establish a network for the notification of new occur-
       rences of harmful organisms,
 — make recommendations for drawing up guidelines for
       the experts and for national inspectors in carrying out

In the event of the actual or suspected appearance of a
harmful organism as a result of its introduction or spread
within the Community, Member States may receive a
"plant-health control" financial contribution from the Com-
munity pursuant to Articles 23 and 24 to cover expenditure
relating directly to the necessary measures which have
been taken or are planned for the purpose of combating
that harmful organism in order to eradicate or, if that is
not possible, contain it. The Commission shall propose the
entry of suitable appropriations for that purpose in the
general budget of the European Union.
                            Article 23                                            Article 19c
The Member State concerned may receive, at its request,
the Community financial contribution referred to in Article
22, where it is established that the harmful organism con-
cerned, whether or not listed in Annexes I and II:
— has been notified under Article 16 (1) or (2), first
      subparagraph, and
— constitutes an imminent danger for all or part of the
      Community due to its appearance in an area where
      the organism had either not been known to occur pre-
      viously or had been or was being eradicated, and
— was introduced into that area through consignments
      of plants, plant products or other objects from a third
      country or another area of the Community.
2. The following shall be regarded as necessary measures       (adapted)
within the meaning of Article 22:
 (a) destruction, disinfection, disinfestation, sterilization,
      cleaning or any other treatement carried out officially
      or upon official request in respect of:
      (i) plants, plant products or other objects constitu-

             consignment(s) concerned or have been in close
             proximity to the plants, plant products or other
             objects of those consigments or to plants grown
             from them,
       (iii) growing substrates and land recognized as being
             contaminated or liable to be contaminated by the
              harmful organism concerned,
                                              41
 ---pagebreak---       (iv) production material, packaging, wrapping and        97/3/EC - Art 1.2

      growing substrates, cultivable areas or premises, as
      well as plants, plant products or other objects other
      than material from the consignment(s) in question or

3.    Payments made from public funds in order to:
— cover all or part of the costs of the measures de-
      scribed in points (a) and (b) of paragraph 2, except
      for those related to the regular running costs of the
      competent official body concerned, or
— to compensate for all or part of the financial losses
      other than loss of earnings resulting directly from one
      or more of the measures described in point (c) of
      paragraph 2,
shall be considered to be expenditure directly relating to
the necessary measures referred to in paragraph 2.
By way of derogation from the second indent of the first
subparagraph an implementing Regulation may specify, in
accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18,
cases in which compensation for loss of earnings shall be
considered to be expenditure directly relating to necessary
 measures subject to the conditions specified in this respect
 in paragraph 5 as well as the time limitations applicable to
 those cases, with a maximum of three years.
 4. In order to qualify for the financial contribution from    (adapted)
 the Community and without prejudice to Article 16, the
 Member State concerned shall apply to the Commission, at
 the latest before the end of the calendar year following
 that in which the appearance of the harmful organism was
 detected, and shall forthwith inform the Commission and
 the other Member States of:
 — the reference of the notification provided for in the
       first indent of paragraph 1,
 — the nature and extent of the appearance of the harm-
       ful organism as referred to in Article 22, and when,
       where and how it was detected,
  — the identity of the consignments referred to in the
       third indent of paragraph 1 through which the harm-
       ful organism was introduced,
                                              42
 ---pagebreak--- — the necessary measures which have been taken or are        97/3/EC - Art 1.2
      planned for which it is seeking assistance, together
      with timetables for them, and
— the results obtained and the actual or estimated cost
      of the expenditure incurred or to be incurred, and the
      proportion of such expenditure covered or to be cov-
      ered from public funds allocated by the Member
      State for implementation of those same necessary
      measures.
Where the appearance of the harmful organism was de-
tected prior to 30 January 1997, that date shall be deemed
to be the date of detection within the meaning of this
paragraph and paragraph 5, provided that the actual date
of detection is not earlier than 1 January 1995. However,
this provision shall not apply in respect of compensation
for loss of earnings referred to in paragraph 3, second sub-
paragraph save in exceptional cases, under the conditions
laid down in the implementing Regulation referred to in
paragraph 3, to loss of earnings occurring thereafter.
5. Without prejudice to Article 24, the allocation and
the amount of the financial contribution from the Commu-
nity shall be decided in accordance with the procedure laid
down in Article 18, in the light of the information and
documents submitted by the Member State concerned in
accordance with paragraph 4 and, where appropriate, the
results of investigations carried out on the Commission's
authority by the experts referred to in Article 21 pursuant
to the first subparagraph of Article 16 (3), taking into ac-
count the extent of the danger referred to in the second
indent of paragraph 1 above, and depeftding on the ap-
propriations available for these purposes.
Within the limits set by the appropriations available for
these purposes, the financial contribution from the Com-
munity shall cover up to 50 % and, in case of compensa-
tion for loss of earnings referred to in paragraph 3, second
subparagraph, up to 25 %, of expenditure relating directly
to the necessary measures referred to in paragraph 2, pro-
vided that these measures have been taken within a period
 not more than two years after the date of detection of the
 appearance of a harmful organism as referred to in Article
 22, or are planned for that period.
 The aboveraentioned period may be extended, in accor-
 dance with the same procedure, if examination of the situ-
 ation concerned leads to the conclusion that the objective
 of the measures will be achieved within a reasonable addi-
 tional period. The financial contribution from the Commu-
 nity shall be degressive over the years concerned.
 Where the Member State is unable to supply the required
 information regarding the identity of the consignment in
 accordance with the third indent of paragraph 4, it shall
 indicate the presumed sources of the appearance and the
 reasons why the consignments could not be identified. The
 allocation of the financial contribution may be approved,
 in accordance with the same procedure, depending on the
 outcome of an assessment of that information.

cordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18.
6. In the light of the development of the situation in the
Community, it may be decided, in accordance with the
procedure laid down in Article 18 or Article 19, that fur-
ther action will be implemented or that measures taken or
planned by the Member State concerned will be made sub-
ject to certain requirements or additional conditions, if
these are necessary for the achievement of the objctive in
question.
The allocation of the financial contribution from the Com-
munity for such further action, requirements or conditions
shall be decided by the same procedure. Within the limits
set by the appropriations available for these purposes, the
financial contribution from the Community shall cover up
to 50 % of expenditure relating directly to the further ac-
tion, requirements or conditions concerned.
Where such further action, requirements or conditions are
 essentially designed to protect Community territories other
 than that of the Member State concerned, it may be de-
 cided, in accordance with the same procedure, that the
 Community financial allocation shall cover more than 50 %
 of the expenditure.
 The financial contribution from the Community shall be of
 a limited duration and shall be degressive over the years
 concerned.
 7. The allocation of a financial contribution from the
 Community shall be without prejudice to claims which the
 Member State concerned or individuals may have against
 others, including other Member States in the cases re-
 ferred to in Article 24 (3), for the refunding of expendi-
 ture, compensation for losses or other damages under na-
 tional law, Community law or international law. Rights in
 these claims will be the object of a transfer, by operation
 of law, to the Community with effect from the payment of
  the financial contribution from the Community, to the ex-
  tent that such expenditure, losses or other damages are
  covered by that contribution.
  8. The financial contribution from the Community may
  be paid in several instalments.
  If it appears that the financial contribution from the Com-
  munity as allocated is no longer justified, the following
  shall apply:
  The amount of the financial contribution from the Com-
  munity allocated to the Member State concerned pursuant
  to paragraphs 5 and 6 may either be reduced or sus-
  pended, if it is established from the information supplied
  by that Member State, or from the results of investigations
   carried out on the Commission's authority by the experts
   referred to in Article 21, or from the results of the suitable
   examination which the Commission has conducted in ac-
   cordance with the procedures analogous to those in Article
   24 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 (l) that:

Community financial contribution allocated under para-
graphs 5 and 6 above if it is established from the sources
as specified in paragraph 8, that

 harmful organism referred to in Article 22, the following
 shall apply:
 The Commission shall verify whether the appearance of
 the harmful organism in the area concerned was caused by
 the movement into that area of one or more consignments
 carrying the harmful organism and shall identify the Mem-
 ber State or the successive Member State from which the
 consignment(s) came.
