Commission Directive 2007/40/EC

of 28 June 2007

amending Directive 2001/32/EC recognising protected zones exposed to particular plant health risks in the Community

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 the first subparagraph of Article 2(1)(h) thereof,

Having regard to the requests made by the Czech Republic, Denmark, France and Italy,

After consulting the Member States concerned,

Whereas:

(1) By Commission Directive 2001/32/EC(2), certain Member States or certain areas in Member States were recognised as protected zones in respect of certain harmful organisms.

(2) Denmark was recognised as a protected zone with respect to Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr. Following the results of the relevant surveys carried out in Denmark, Denmark has submitted information showing that an adequate phytosanitary protection of Denmark against Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr does not require maintaining the status of Denmark as a protected zone against that organism and requested its protected zone status against Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr be withdrawn. Denmark should therefore no longer be recognised as a protected zone in respect of that harmful organism.

(3) From information supplied by the Czech Republic, France and Italy, the Czech Republic, the regions of Champagne-Ardenne, Lorraine and Alsace in France and the region of Basilicata in Italy should be recognised as protected zones in respect of Grapevine flavescence dorée MLO, because this pathogen is not present there.

(4) Directive 2001/32/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

(1)

OJ L 169, 10.7.2000, p. 1. Directive as last amended by Commission Directive 2006/35/EC (OJ L 88, 25.3.2006, p. 9).

(2)

OJ L 127, 9.5.2001, p. 38. Directive as last amended by Directive 2006/36/EC (OJ L 88, 25.3.2006, p. 13).
