Amendment of Schedule 1

8.  In Schedule 1 (plant pests which shall not be landed in or spread within Scotland), in Part B (plant pests known to occur in the European Union) under the heading “Bacteria”, for item 4 substitute—

4.  Xylella fastidiosa (Wells et al.)(1).

(1)

Item 4 was inserted by S.S.I. 2015/10. It referred to Xylella fastidiosa (Well and Raju). This reference was consistent with the nomenclature in Council Directive 2000/29/EC (OJ L 169, 10.7.2000, p.1), Annex I, Part A, Section 1(b), item 1 and in Commission Implementing Decision 2014/497/EU (OJ L 219, 25.7.2014, p.56). In contrast, Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/789 (OJ L 125, 21.5.2015, p.36) which repeals Commission Implementing Decision 2014/497/EU refers to the bacteria as Xylella fastidiosa (Wells et al.). This substitution reflects the recent change in terminology.
