Whereas:
(1) The application of Commission Implementing Decision 2012/535/EU (2) has led to the conclusion that the definition of susceptible wood should include wood of conifers (Coniferales) that has not kept its natural round surface, beehives and bird nesting boxes, taking into account the particular risks linked to the frequent movement of beehives and such boxes. In addition, wood which has undergone processing eliminating the risk of hosting the pine wood nematode (PWN) should be excluded from that definition.
(2) In view of the nature of the vector, all felled susceptible plants and their logging remains in buffer zones should immediately be removed.
(3) It is appropriate to clarify that wood free from bark, and which has undergone an appropriate heat treatment in accordance with Implementing Decision 2012/535/EU, may be moved also within the flight season of the vector.
(4) Implementing Decision 2012/535/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 Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
Implementing Decision 2012/535/EU is amended as follows:
(1) Article 1(b) is replaced by the following:
‘(b) “susceptible wood” means wood of conifers (Coniferales) which falls under one of the following points:
(i) wood within the meaning of Article 2(2) of Directive 2000/29/EC;
(ii) wood which has not retained its round surface;
(iii) wood in the form of beehives and bird nesting boxes.
(2) point (d) of Article 13(1) is replaced by the following:
‘(d) marking in accordance with Annex II to the FAO International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No 15, as set out in points 2(b) and 3(b) of Section 1 of Annex III and point 3 of Section 2 of that Annex, of beehives, bird nesting boxes and wood packaging material treated by the treatment facility concerned in accordance with, respectively, points (a) and (c).’

If the abovementioned checks show an anomaly, more rigorous examination shall be carried out, if necessary.
3. In the special case of live fish, crustaceans and molluscs and of rodents for laboratories having a certified specific pathogen-free status, contained in sealed containers under controlled environmental conditions, a clinical examination shall be  carried out only where it is considered that a special risk may exist because of the species involved or their origin, or there are any other irregularities.
4. In cases where a consignment is made up of a large number of animals of the bovine, ovine, caprine or porcine species intended for further fattening, the clinical examination may consist of:
- a visual examination of the animals, and
- a more detailed examination of at least 10 % of the animals with a minimum of 10 animals, these being selected so as to be representative for the whole consignment.
If the above checks show an anomaly, more rigourous examination shall be carried out, if necessary.
