COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DIRECTIVE (EU) 2025/145
of 29 January 2025
amending Implementing Directive 2014/98/EU as regards the Union regulated non-quarantine pests Tobacco ringspot virus, Tomato ringspot virus, Pucciniastrum minimum (Schweinitz) Arthur and Fig mosaic agent and correcting that Implementing Directive as regards measures concerning Candidatus Phytoplasma prunorum Seemüller & Schneider
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2008/90/EC of 29 September 2008 on the marketing of fruit plant propagating material and fruit plants intended for fruit production (1), and in particular Article 4, Article 6(4) and Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 (2) establishes a list of Union quarantine pests, protected zone quarantine pests and Union regulated non-quarantine pests (‘RNQPs’). It further sets out requirements for the introduction into, and movement within, the Union of certain plants, plant products and other objects in order to prevent the entry, establishment and spread of those pests in the Union territory. |
(2) |
Commission Implementing Directive 2014/98/EU (3) sets out specific requirements for the genus and species of certain fruit plants, specific requirements to be met by suppliers and detailed rules concerning official inspections. |
(3) |
Implementing Directive 2014/98/EU should be amended to update the phytosanitary status of certain pests and to amend the specific measures against those pests. Indeed, RNQPs are listed together with the relevant plants for planting in Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072, and the corresponding measures to prevent the presence of those RNQPs on those plants for planting are provided for in Annex V to that Implementing Regulation. However, for RNQPs concerning fruit propagating material and fruit plants intended for fruit production, such measures are provided for solely in Implementing Directive 2014/98/EU. |
(4) |
Tobacco ringspot virus has been removed from the list of Union quarantine pests of Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 and listed as an RNQP in Part J of Annex IV to that Regulation, in relation to fruit plant propagating material and fruit plants intended for fruit production, of Vaccinium L., other than pollen and seeds. It is therefore necessary to list Tobacco ringspot virus in Annex II to Implementing Directive 2014/98/EU, in respect to that genus, in order for the respective requirements of Article 9(2) and (4), Article 10(1), Article 16(1), Article 21(1) and Article 26(1) of that Directive to be applied and ensure the appropriate level of phytosanitary protection. |
(5) |
Tomato ringspot virus has been removed from the list of Union quarantine pests in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 and listed as an RNQP in Part J of Annex IV to that Implementing Regulation, in relation to fruit plant propagating material and fruit plants intended for fruit production, of Malus Mill., Prunus L. and Vaccinium L., other than pollen and seeds, and Rubus L. other than pollen. It is therefore necessary, for reasons of consistency, to list Tomato ringspot virus in Annex II to Implementing Directive 2014/98/EU, in respect to those genera and in order for the respective requirements of Article 9(4), Article 10(1), Article 16(1), Article 21(1) and Article 26(1) of that Directive to be applied and ensure the appropriate level of phytosanitary protection. |
(6) |
Tobacco ringspot virus and Tomato ringspot virus should further be subject to the measures of Annex IV to Implementing Directive 2014/98/EU, in order to ensure freedom of the respective plants from those pests for the respective categories. |
(7) |
In point 11 of Annex IV to Implementing Directive 2014/98/EU, a measure against Pseudomonas syringae pv. persicae (Prunier, Luisetti &. Gardan) Young, Dye & Wilkie and Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni (Smith) Vauterin et al. was, by error, included in the section ‘(f) CAC category’, under the measures concerning Candidatus Phytoplasma prunorum Seemüller & Schneider. Implementing Directive 2014/98/EU should therefore be corrected, by deleting that measure from those concerning Candidatus Phytoplasma prunorum Seemüller & Schneider. |
(8) |
Pucciniastrum minimum (Schweinitz) Arthur has been listed as an RNQP in Part J of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 in relation to fruit plant propagating material and fruit plants intended for fruit production, of Vaccinium L., other than pollen and seeds. It is therefore necessary, for reasons of consistency, to list that pest in Annex I to Implementing Directive 2014/98/EU in respect to that genus and in order for the respective requirements of Article 9(1), Article 10(1), Article 16(1), Article 21(1) and Article 26(1) of that Directive to be applied and ensure the appropriate level of phytosanitary protection. |
(9) |
Fig mosaic agent has been deleted from Part J of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 because it no longer fulfils the conditions to be listed as an RNQP. It is therefore necessary to delete that pest from Annex I to Implementing Directive 2014/98/EU. |
(10) |
Implementing Directive 2014/98/EU should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(11) |
The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
