COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2020/1549
of 22 October 2020
repealing Decision 2004/200/EC on measures to prevent the introduction into and the spread within the Community of Pepino mosaic virus

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 30(1) and 37(2) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Commission Decision 2004/200/EC (2) lays down measures to prevent the introduction into and the spread within the Union of the Pepino mosaic virus on seeds of tomato, Lycopersicon lycopersicum (L.) Karsten ex Farw. Such measures do not apply for seeds destined for the final consumer. |
|
(2) |
That pest had not been listed in Annex I or II to Council Directive 2000/29/EC (3) and has only been subject to the specific requirements of Decision 2004/200/EC. |
|
(3) |
Following a reassessment of its phytosanitary status, that pest has been included in Part F of Annex IV to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 (4) listing the Union regulated non-quarantine pests and specific plants for planting, with the respective categories and thresholds for the vegetable seed concerned. It has also been subject to measures set out in Part E of Annex V to that Regulation. |
|
(4) |
Decision 2004/200/EC is therefore obsolete and should be repealed. |
|
(5) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Decision 2004/200/EC is repealed.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
Done at Brussels, 22 October 2020.
