29.6.2007 Official Journal of the European Union L 169/51 COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2007/41/EC of 28 June 2007 amending certain Annexes to Council Directive 2000/29/EC on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within 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 (!), and in particular points () and (d) of the second paragraph of Article 14 thereof, After consulting the Member States concerned, Whereas: (1)  Directive 2000/29/EC lists organisms which are harmful to plants or plant products and provides for certain measures against their introduction into the Member States from other Member States or third countries. It also provides for the recognition of protected zones within the Community. (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zone against that organism and requested its protected zone status against Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr be withdrawn.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 respectively 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 zomes in respect of Grapevine flavescence dorée MLO, because this pathogen is not present there. Special requirements should therefore be laid down as regards the introduction into and the movement within the relevant protected zones of vine propagating material. () O] L 169, 10.7.2000, p. 1.
