ANNEX IV Requirements concerning measures per genera or species and category pursuant to Article 10(4), Article 16(4), Article 21(4) and Article 26(2)
Propagating material shall comply with the requirements concerning Union quarantine pests and protected zone quarantine pests provided for in implementing acts adopted pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/2031, as well as the measures adopted pursuant to Article 30(1) of that Regulation.
Moreover, it shall comply with the following requirements per genera or species and category concerned:
1. Castanea sativa Mill.
(a) All categories
Visual inspection
Visual inspections shall be carried out once a year.
Sampling and testing
Sampling and testing shall be carried out in the case of doubts concerning the presence of RNQPs listed in Annex I.
(b) Pre-basic category
Requirements with regard to the production site, place of production or area
In the case where a derogation is allowed to produce pre-basic material in the field under non-insect proof conditions, pursuant to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/925(1), the following requirements shall apply concerning Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr:
(i)
propagating material and fruit plants of the pre-basic category shall be produced in areas known to be free from Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr; or
(ii)
no symptoms of Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr are observed at the site of production on propagating material and fruit plants of the pre-basic category since the beginning of the last complete cycle of vegetation.
(c) Basic category
Requirements with regard to the production site, place of production or area
(i)
propagating material and fruit plants of the basic category shall be produced in areas known to be free from Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr ; or
(ii)
no symptoms of Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr are observed at the site of production on propagating material and fruit plants of the basic category since the beginning of the last complete cycle of vegetation.
(d) Certified and CAC categories
Requirements with regard to the production site, place of production or area
(i)
propagating material and fruit plants of the certified and CAC categories shall be produced in areas known to be free from Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr ; or
(ii)
no symptoms of Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr are observed at the site of production on propagating material and fruit plants of the certified and CAC categories since the beginning of the last complete cycle of vegetation; or
(iii)
propagating material and fruit plants of the certified and CAC categories showing symptoms of Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr have been rogued out, the remaining propagating material and fruit plants shall be inspected at weekly intervals and no symptoms are observed at the site of production for at least three weeks before dispatch.
2. Citrus L., Fortunella Swingle and Poncirus Raf.

Each pre-basic mother plant shall be sampled and tested every year concerning the presence of Spiroplasma citri Saglio et al. Each pre-basic mother plant shall be sampled and tested three years after its acceptance as a pre-basic mother plant and with subsequent intervals of three years concerning the presence of Citrus tristeza virus (EU isolates).
Each pre-basic mother plant shall be sampled and tested six years after its acceptance as a pre-basic mother plant and with subsequent intervals of six years concerning the presence of RNQPs, other than Citrus tristeza virus (EU isolates) and Spiroplasma citri Saglio et al., listed in Annex II, and in the case of doubts concerning the presence of RNQPs listed in Annex I.
