# COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2009/7/EC

of 10 February 2009

amending Annexes I, II, IV and V 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

## Preamble

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

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 and against their spread within the Community [^1] , and in particular points (c) and (d) of the second paragraph of Article 14 thereof,

After consulting the Member States concerned,

Whereas:

**(1)** Directive 2000/29/EC lists organisms which are harmful to plants or plant products and provides for certain measures against their introduction into Member States from other Member States or third countries.

**(2)** On the basis of information supplied by Member States and an examination of Annexes I, II, IV and V to Directive 2000/29/EC by experts, it is appropriate to amend the lists of harmful organisms in Annexes I and II to improve protection against the introduction of such organisms into the Community. All changes are based on technical and scientific evidence.

**(3)** Taking into account increased international trade in plants and plant products, a phytosanitary protection of the Community is needed against the introduction of the following harmful organisms which are so far not known to be present in the Community: *Dendrolimus sibiricus* Tschetverikov; *Rhynchophorus palmarum* (L.); *Agrilus planipennis* Fairmaire on plants of *Fraxinus* L., *Juglans mandshurica* Maxim., *Ulmus davidiana* Planch., *Ulmus parvifolia* Jacq., and *Pterocarya rhoifolia* Siebold & Zucc., and only known to be present in Canada, China, Japan, Mongolia, Republic of Korea, Russia, Taiwan and the United States; Chrysanthemum stem necrosis virus on plants of *Dendranthema* (DC.) Des Moul. and *Lycopersicon lycopersicum* (L.) Karsten ex Farw.; *Scrobipalpopsis solanivora* (Povolny) on tubers of *Solanum tuberosum* L. and *Stegophora ulmea* (Schweinitz : Fries) Sydow & Sydow on plants of *Ulmus* L. and *Zelkova* L., intended for planting, other than seeds. In addition, the further spread of *Paysandisia archon* (Burmeister), found in some areas in the Community on 11 genera of Palmae and under official control, needs to be limited for the same reasons.

**(4)** The names of *Saissetia nigra* (Nietm.) and *Diabrotica virgifera* Le Conte should be amended in line with the revised scientific denominations of those organisms. *Saissetia nigra* (Nietm.) has become *Parasaissetia nigra* (Nietner). *Diabrotica virgifera* Le Conte has been split into two subspecies, namely *Diabrotica virgifera virgifera* Le Conte, regionally present in the Community, and *Diabrotica virgifera zeae* Krysan & Smith, not present in the Community.

**(5)** The listing of those organisms in Annexes I and II to Directive 2000/29/EC needs therefore to be amended.

**(6)** Consequently, the relevant requirements in Annexes IV and V to Directive 2000/29/EC for the import or movement of host plants of harmful organisms referred to in Annexes I and II need to be amended to take account of the amended listing in Annexes I and II.

**(7)** The CN code for wood of *Acer saccharum* Marsh. needs to be updated in Annex V, Part B to complete the list of CN codes for wood subject to import control.

**(8)** Annexes I, II, IV and V to Directive 2000/29/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

## **Article 1**

Annexes I, II, IV and V to Directive 2000/29/EC are amended in accordance with the text in the Annex to this Directive.

## **Article 2**

They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive. They shall apply those provisions from 1 April 2009.

Member States shall determine how such a reference is to be made.

**2.** Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.

## **Article 3**

This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the *Official Journal of the European Union* .
