Commission Implementing Directive (EU) 2018/484
of 21 March 2018
amending Directive 93/49/EEC as regards requirements to be fulfilled by the propagating material of certain genera or species of Palmae in respect of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 98/56/EC of 20 July 1998 on the marketing of propagating material of ornamental plants(1), and in particular Article 5(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) has been found in most of the endangered Union territories and it has been concluded that this harmful organism is now known to occur in a substantial part of Union territory. Commission Decision 2007/365/EC(2) on emergency measures in respect of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) has therefore been repealed by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/490(3).
(2) Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) causes severe damage to plants of host species belonging to the Palmae family with the exception of plants with a diameter of the stem at the base of less than 5 cm.
(3) Those plants are present in many parts of the Union where they are planted in large numbers for ornamental purposes and are of high environmental and economic importance.
(4) It is therefore appropriate to set out specific requirements to ensure the quality of the propagating material of certain genera and species of Palmae, which are most commonly marketed in the Union and which are at risk of being infested by that harmful organism if such requirements are not fulfilled. Those requirements should include specific growing conditions or treatment of that material, as well as the condition of being free of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier).
(5) Commission Directive 93/49/EEC(4) should be therefore amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animal, Food and Feed,
