After consulting the Member States concerned,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2000/29/EC provides for certain zones to be recognised as protected zones.
(2) Certain regions and parts of regions in Austria were recognised for a limited time as protected zones with respect to Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. by Commission Regulation (EC) No 690/2008 (2). Austria has submitted information showing that Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. is now established on its territory. Those regions and parts of regions should therefore no longer be recognised as protected zones.
(3) In Greece, Crete and Lesvos were recognised as protected zones with respect to Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr. Greece has submitted information showing that Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr is now established in those regions. Crete and Lesvos should therefore no longer be recognised as protected zones in respect of that harmful organism.
(4) As a result of previous amendments some of the cross-references and a reference to a protected zone in Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC have become obsolete and should be deleted.
(5) Certain codes of wood and articles of wood of the Combined Nomenclature have been amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1031/2008 (3). It is necessary to adapt Directive 2000/29/EC to those technical developments.
(6) Annexes II to V to Directive 2000/29/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Annexes II to V to Directive 2000/29/EC are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall adopt and publish, by 30 November 2009 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
