Proposal for a Council Directive on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (consolidated version)
COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 05. 12. 1997 COM(97) 651 final 97/0338 (CNS) Proposal for a COUNCIL PIRECUVJE on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community f consolidated version) (presented by the Commission) EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 1. In the context of people's Europe, the Commission attaches great importance to simplify ing and clarifying Community law so as to make it clearer and more accessible to the ordinary citizen, thus giving him new opportunities and the chance to make use of the specific rights it gives him. This aim cannot be achieved so long as numerous provisions have been amended several times, often quite substantially, remain scattered, so that they must be sought partly in the original instrument and partly in later amending ones. Considerable research work, com paring many different instruments, is thus needed to identify the current rules. For this reason a consolidation of rules that have frequently been amended is also essen tial if Community law is to be clear and transparent. 2. On 1 April 1987 the Commission therefore decided to instruct its staff that all legislative measures should be consolidated after no more than ten amendments, stressing that this was a minimum requirement and that departments should endeavour to consolidate at even shorter intervals the texts for which they were responsible, to ensure that the Com munity rules were clear and readily understandable. 3. The Conclusions of the Presidency of the Edinburgh European Council (December 1992) confirmed this, stressing the importance of legislative consolidation as it offers certainty as to the law applicable to a given matter at a given time. It must be undertaken in full compliance with the normal Community legislative pro cedure. Given that no changes of substance may be made to the instruments affected by legislative consolidation. Parliament, the Council and the Commission have agreed, by an interinstitu- tional agreement dated 20 December 1994, that an accelerated procedure may be used for the fast-track adoption of codification instruments. 4. The purpose of this proposal (l) for legislative consolidation of Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community is to undertake official codification of this type. The new directive will supersede the various directives incorporated in it (2); their content is fully preserved, and they are brought together with only such formal amendments as are required by the codification exercise itself. 4a. Annex VIII to Directive 77/93/EEC (Annex VII to this consolidation proposal) provides for EEC numbers on plant health certificates. The Treaty on European Union replaced the words 'European Economic Community' by 'European Community'. The same change should be made to the above certificates. Even if this could be regarded as a purely formal amendment, Member States will have to transpose it into national law if certificates bearing the abbreviation EC are to be used. There would also be a risk of a financial impact on operators if the new certificates had to be used forthwith. A period should therefore be fixed during which the EEC certificates may still be used. (*) Entered in the legislative programme for 1995. (2) See part A of Annex VIE. For those reasons and since a consolidation directive does not have to be transposed, as the consolidated directives are presumed to have been transposed in the time allowed, the amendment cannot be incorporated in the consolidation proposal as a purely formal ad justment. On 7 June 1995 the Commission accordingly presented a proposal (COM(95)239 final - 95/0134 (CNS)) for amendment of Directive 77/93/EEC to replace the abbreviation EEC by EC on the certificates. Once that proposal has been adopted by the Council, it will be possible to incorporate the amendment in the consolidation proposal. This legislative consolidation proposal was drawn up on the basis of a preliminarv conso lidation, in all the official languages, of Directive 77/93/EEC and the instruments amend ing it, carried out by the Office for Official Publications of the European Communities, by means of the data processing system referred to in the conclusions of the European Coun cil meeting at Edinburgh. Although the articles have been given new numbers, the old numbering has been retained in the margin for ease of reference; the correlation between the old and the new numbers is shown in a table set out in Annex IX to the consolidated Directive. bis Proposal for a COUNCIL DIRECTIVE. 7. TEC of on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community 91/683/CEE THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Having regard to the opinion of the European Parlia ment (1), Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and So cial Committee (2), (1) Whereas Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976, on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Com munity (3); whereas for the sake of clarity and rational ity, it has been amended on a number of occasions, often substantively (4), it should therefore be consoli dated; (2) Whereas plant production is very important to the Com munity; 77/93/EEC (3) Whereas plant production yields are consistently reduced 77/93/EEC through the effects of harmful organisms; (4) Whereas the protection of plants against such organisms is absolutely necessary not only to avoid reduced yields but also to increase agricultural productivity; (5) Whereas aaion aimed at the systematic eradication of harmful organisms within the Community, established by the plant health regime applicable in the Community as an area without internal frontiers, would have only li mited effect if protective measures against their intro duction into the Community were not applied at the same time; (6) Whereas the need for such measures has long been rec ognized and they have formed the subject of many national regulations and international conventions, in cluding the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) of 6 December 1951 concluded at the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), which is of world-wide interest; 77/93/EEC 77/93/EEC 93/19/EEC (adapted) 77/93/EEC (adapted) 77/93/EEC (adapted) (!) (3) (4) OJNoC OJNoC OJ No L 26, 31. 1. 1977, p. 20. Directive as last amended by Commission Directive 97/14/EC (OJ No L 87,2. 4. 1997, p. 17). See Annex VOI, Part A. 77/93/EEC (adapted) 10. 77/93/EEC 19. 77/93/EEC (adapted) 21. + 10. 3. 22. 3. 2. 77/93/EEC (adapted) 85/574/EEC (adapted) 90/168/EEC (adapted) 77/93/EEC (adapted) 90/168/EEC (adapted) 89/439/EEC (adapted) (7) Whereas one of the most important measures consists in listing the particularly dangerous harmful organisms whose introduction into the Community must be pro hibited and also the harmful organisms whose introduc tion into the Member States when carried by certain plants or plant products must also be prohibited; (8) Whereas the presence of some of these harmful organ isms, when plants or plant products are introduced from countries in which these organisms occur, cannot be ef fectively checked; whereas it is therefore necessary to make minimum provision for bans on the introduction of certain plants and plant products, or to provide for special checks to be made in the producer countries; (9) Whereas such plant health checks must be limited to in in non-member troductions of products originating countries and to cases where there is strong evidence that one of the plant-health provisions has not been ob served; (10) Whereas it is necessary to make provision under certain conditions permitting derogations from a certain number of provisions; whereas experience has shown that the same degree of urgency may be attached to a certain number of derogations as is attached to the safeguard provisions; whereas therefore the urgency procedure specified in this Directive should also be made appli cable to these derogations; (11) Whereas temporary safeguard measures not laid down in this Directive should normally be adopted by the Member State where the problem originates in the case of imminent danger of the introduction or spread of harmful organisms; whereas the Commission should be informed of all events which require the adoption of safeguard measures; (12) Whereas given the importance of the trade in plants and plant products between the French overseas departments and the remainder of the Community, it is desirable to apply the provisions of this Directive to them; whereas in view of the special nature of the agricultural produc tion of the French overseas departments, it is appropri ate to provide for additional protective measures justi fied on grounds of the protection of health and life of plants therein; whereas the provisions of this Directive should also be extended to protective measures against the introduction of harmful organisms into the French overseas departments from other parts of France; (13) Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1911/91 of 26 June 1991 on the applications of the provisions of Com munity law to the Canary Islands (*) integrates the Ca nary Islands into the Community customs territory and into the common policies; whereas, under Articles 2 and 10 of that Regulation, application of the common agri cultural policy is subject to the entry into force of spe cific supply arrangements; whereas such application must also be accompanied by specific measures concerning agricultural production; (14) Whereas Council Decision 91/314/EEC of 26 June 1991 setting up a programme of options specific to the remote and insular nature of the Canary Islands (Poseican) (2) outlines the options to be implemented to take account of the specific problems and constraints faced by those islands; (15) Whereas, to accommodate therefore the specific plant health situation in the Canary Islands, it is appropriate to extend the application of certain measures of this Di rective for a period expiring six months after the date by which Member States must have implemented forthcom ing provisions dealing with the Annexes to this Directive for. the protection of the French overseas departments and of the Canary Islands; (16) Whereas it is appropriate to adopt, for the purposes of this Directive, the model certificates approved under the IPPC, as amended on 21 November 1979, in a standard ized lay-out which has been drawn up in close cooper ation with international organizations; whereas it is also appropriate to lay down certain rules concerning the conditions in accordance with which such certificates may be issued, certain rules for the use of previous mo dels during a transitional period, and certification re quirements in the case of the introduction of plants and plant products from third countries; (17) Whereas in the case of importations of plants or plant products from third countries the authorities responsible in such countries for issuing certificates should be, in principle, those empowered under the IPPC and it could be desirable to establish lists of these authorities for the non-contracting third countries; (18) Whereas the procedure applicable to certain types of amendments to be made to the Annexes to this Direc tive should be simplified; (19) Whereas the scope of this Directive should be clarified in respect of 'wood'; whereas, in particular, it is useful to follow the detailed descriptions of Svood' set out in Community Regulations; 1. 94/13/EC 94/13/EC (adapted) 94/13/EC (adapted) 87/298/EEC (adapted) 85/574/EEC (adapted) 5. 80/392/EEC (adapted) 6. 3. 85/574/EEC (adapted) 88/572/EEC (adapted) (1) OJ No L 171,29. 6. 1991, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 284/92 (OJ No L 31,7. 2. 1992, p. 6). (2) OJ No L 171, 29. 6. 1991, p. 5. (20) Whereas certain seeds are not included amongst the plants, plant products and other objects, listed in the Annexes to this Directive, which must be subjected to a plant health inspection in the country of origin or the consignor country before being permitted to enter in the Community or in intra-Coramunity trade; (21) Whereas it is appropriate to provide in certain cases that the official inspection of plants, plant products and other objects coming from third countries should be carried out by the Commission in the third country of origin; (22) Whereas the Community inspections must be made by experts employed by the Commission, and also by ex perts employed by Member States, whose services are made available to the Commission; whereas the roles of these experts should be defined in connection with the activities required under the Community plant health re gime; (23) Whereas the scope of the regime should no longer be restricted to trade between Member States and third countries, but should also be extended to marketing within single Member States; (24) Whereas, in principle, all parts of the Community should benefit from the same degree of protection against harmful organisms; whereas, however, differences in eco logical conditions and in the distribution of certain harmful organisms must be taken into account; whereas, in consequence, 'protected zones' exposed to particular plant health risks should be defined and should be ac corded special protection under conditions compatible with the internal market; (25) Whereas the application of the Community plant health regime to the Community as an area without internal frontiers, and the introduction of protected zones make it necessary to distinguish between requirements appli cable to Community products on the one hand and those applicable to imports from third countries on the other, and to identify harmful organisms relevant for protected zones; (26) Whereas the most appropriate place for carrying out plant-health checks is the place of production; whereas, in respect of Community products, these checks must therefore be made mandatory at the place of production and should extend to all relevant plants and plant prod ucts grown, produced, used or otherwise present there, and to the growing medium used there; whereas, for the efficient operation of such a system of checks, all pro ducers should be officially registered; 2. 89/359/EEC (adapted) 89/439/EEC (adapted) 89/439/EEC (adapted) 89/439/EEC 2. 91/683/EEC (adapted) 3. 91/683/EEC 91/683/EEC (adapted) 91/683/EEC (27) Whereas to ensure more effective application of the Community plant-health regime in the internal market, it must be possible to use, for the purpose of plant-health checks, available official manpower other than that of Member States' official plant-protection services, whose training should be coordinated and supported financially by the Community; (2S) Whereas, if the results of the checks are satisfactory, in stead of the phytosanitary certificate used in interna tional trade, Community products will bear a conven tional mark ('plant passport'), adapted to the type of product, in order to ensure its free movement through out the Community' or those parts thereof for which it is valid; (29) Whereas the official measures to be taken when the re sults of the checks are not satisfactory should be speci fied: (30) Whereas, to ensure compliance with the Community plant-health regime in the context of the internal market, a system of official checks during marketing should be established; whereas this system should be as reliable and uniform as possible throughout the Community but should exclude specific controls at borders between Member States: (31) Whereas, in the framework of the internal market, prod ucts originating in third countries should in principle be subjected to plant-health checks on first introduction into the Community; whereas, if the results of the checks arc satisfactory, third country products should be issued with a 'plant passport' ensuring free movement in the same way as Community products: (32) Whereas, in order to confront the situation created by the completion of the internal market with the necessary guarantees, it is essential to reinforce the plant-health inspection infrastructure at national and Community level at the Community's external frontiers, paying par ticular attention to those Member States which, by rea son of their geographical situation, are points of entry to the Community: whereas the Commission will propose the inclusion in the General Budget of the European Union of the necessary appropriations for that purpose; (33) Whereas, with a view to improving the efficiency of the Community plant-health regime in the context of the in ternal market, the Member States should harmonize the practices of the personnel responsible for plant-health; whereas the Commission will submit, before 1 January 1993, a Community' code of plant-health practice; 4. 91/683/EEC (adapted) 91/6S3/EEC 10. 91/6S3/EEC 11. 91/683/EEC 12. 91/683/EEC (adapted) 13. 91/683/EEC (adapted) 14. 91/683/EEC (adapted) (34) Whereas it is no longer possible for Member States to adopt any special plant-health provisions on the intro duction into their territory of plants or plant products originating in other Member States; whereas all provi sions on plant-health requirements for plants and plant products should be established at Community level; (35) Whereas it is necessary to establish a system of Com munity financial contributions to share at Community level the burden of possible risks which might remain in trade under the Community plant-health regime; (36) Whereas in order to prevent infections by harmful or ganisms introduced from third countries, there should be a Community financial contribution aimed at reinforcing the plant health inspection infrastructure at the Com munity's external frontiers; (37) Whereas the regime should also provide for adequate contributions to certain expenses for specific measures, which Member States have adopted to control and, where applicable, eradicate infections by harmful organ isms introduced from third countries or from other areas in the Community, and, where possible, to repair the damage caused; (38) Whereas the details of the mechanism for granting the Community financial contribution should be determined under a rapid procedure; (39) Whereas it must be ensured that the Commission is in formed in full of the possible causes for the introduction of the harmful organisms concerned; (40) Whereas in particular, the Commission shall monitor correct application of the Community plant-health re gime; (41) Whereas should it be established that the introduction of the harmful organisms has been caused by inadequate examinations or inspections, Community law shall apply in respect of the consequences, taking into account cer tain specific measures; (42) Whereas it is appropriate for Member States and the Commission to cooperate closely within the Standing Committee on Plant Health set up by Council Decision 76/894/EEC (*); (43) Whereas this Directive must not affect the obligations of the Member States concerning the time-limits for trans position and application set out in Annex VIII, Part B, HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE: 15. 91/683/EEC (adapted) 97/3/EC (adapted) 3.

This Directive concerns protective measures against the introduction into the Member States from other Member States or third countries of organisms which are harmful to plants or plant products. It also concerns: (a) with effect from 1 June 1993. protective measures against the spread of harmful organisms within the Community by means related to movements of plants, plant products and other related objects within a Member State; (b) protective measures against the introduction of harm ful organisms into the French overseas departments from other parts of France and, conversely, into other parts of France from the French overseas depart ments; 77/93/EEC (adapted) 91/683/EEC-Art 1(2) —93/19/EEC-Art. 1 (adapted) 89/439/EEC-Art 1(1) (adapted) (c) protective measures against the introduction of harm ful organisms into the Canary Islands from other parts of Spain and, conversely, into other parts of Spain from the Canary Islands. 94/13/EC-Art. 1(1) (adapted) 89/439/EEC-Art. 1(1) (adapted) 94/13/EC-Art 1(1) I 86/651/EEC-Art. 1 (1) ' (adapted) 91/683/EEC-Art 1(2) (adapted) 2. Without prejudice to the conditions to be established for the protection of the plant-health situation existing in certain regions in the Community, taking into account the differences in agricultural and ecological conditions, pro tective measures which are justified on grounds of the protection of health and life of plants in the French over seas departments and in the Canary Islands which are additional to those laid down in this Directive may be de termined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18. 3. This Directive shall not apply to Ceuta or Melilla. 4. Each Member State shall establish or designate one single and central authority responsible, under the control of the national government, in particular for coordination and contacts in matters related to plant health within the context of this Directive. The official plant protection ser vice set up under the International Plant Protection Con vention (IPPC) shall preferably be designated for this pur pose. This authority and any subsequent change shall be notified to the other Member States and to the Commis sion. 94/13/EC-Artl(l) (adapted) 5.

With effect from the same date, paragraph 1 (c) of this Article shall be de leted. Article 2 77/93/EEC 1. For the purposes of this Directive: (a) plants shall be considered to mean living plants and 85/574/EEC-Art 1(1) living parts thereof, including seeds; living parts of plants shall be considered to include: — fruit — in the botanical sense — other than that preserved by deep freezing, — vegetables, other than those preserved by deep freezing, — tubers, corms, bulbs, rhizomes, — cut flowers, — branches with foliage, — cut trees retaining foliage, — plant tissue cultures. seeds shall be considered to mean seeds in the botani cal sense, other than those not intended for planting; 10 (b) plant products shall be considered to mean products of plant origin, unprocessed or having undergone simple preparation, in so far as these are not plants; 77/93/EEC (c) planting shall be considered to mean any operation for the placing of plants to ensure their subsequent growth, reproduction or propagation; (d) plants intended for planting shall be considered to 85/574/EEC-Art. 1(2) mean: — plants which are already planted and are in tended to remain planted or to be replanted after their introduction, or — plants which are not planted at the time of intro duction, but are intended to be planted there after; (e) harmful organisms shall be considered to mean pests of plants or of plant products, which belong to the animal or plant kingdoms, or which are viruses, myco plasmas or other pathogens; 77/93/EEC — 85/574/EEC- Art. 1(2) (f) plant passport shall be considered to mean an official label which gives evidence that the provisions of this Directive related to plant health standards and special requirements are satisfied, and which is: 91/683/EEC-Art 1(3) (adapted) — standardized at Community level for different types of plants or plant products, and — prepared by the responsible official body in a Member State and issued in accordance with the implementing rules governing the details of the procedure for issuing plant passports. For specific types of product, official conventional marks other than a label may be decided on in accor dance with the procedure laid down in Article 18. The standardization shall be established in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18. Under this standardization, different marks shall be deter mined for plant passports which are not valid, in ac cordance with the second subparagraph of Article 10 (1), for all parts of the Community; (g) the responsible official bodies in a Member State shall be: (adapted) (i) the official plant protection service(s) of a Mem ber State referred to in Article 1 (4); or (Li) any State authority established — at national level, 11 91/683/EEC-Art 1(3) — or, under the supervision, within the limits set by the constitution of the Member State concerned, of national authorities, at region al level. The bodies referred to in the first subparagraph may, in accordance with national legislation, delegate the tasks provided for in this Directive to be accom plished under their authority and supervision to any legal person, whether governed by public or by pri vate law, which under its officially approved constitu tion is charged exclusively with specific public func tions, provided that such person, and its members, has no personal interest in the outcome of the measures it takes. The Member States shall ensure that there is close cooperation between the bodies referred to in point (ii) of the first subparagraph and those referred to in point (i) thereof. Moreover, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18, other legal persons established on behalf of the body or bodies referred to in point (i) of the first subparagraph and acting under the author ity and supervision of such body may be approved, provided that such person has no personal interest in the outcome of the measures it takes. The single central authority referred to in Article 1 (4) shall inform the Commission of the responsible official bodies in the Member State concerned. The Commission shall forward that information to the oth er Member States; (h) protected zone shall be considered to mean a zone in the Community: 91/683/EEC- (adapted) •Art 1(4) — — in which one or more harmful organisms referred to in this Directive, which are established in one or more parts of the Community, are not endem ic or established, despite favorable conditions for them to establish themselves there, in which there is a danger that certain harmful organisms will establish themselves, given propi tious ecological conditions, for particular crops, despite the fact that these organisms are not en demic or established in the Community, 12 91/683/EEC-Art 1(4) and which has been recognized, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18, as fulfilling the conditions set out in the first and second indents and, in the case referred to in the first indent at the re quest of the Member State(s) concerned and on the grounds that the results of appropriate surveys which have been monitored by the experts referred to in Ar ticle 21 under the procedure laid down therein show no evidence to the contrary. In the eventuality re ferred to in the second indent, surveys are optional. A harmful organism shall be considered to be estab lished in an area if it is known to occur there and if either no official measures have been taken there with a view to its eradication or such measures have proved, for a period of at least two successive years, to be ineffective. The Member State(s) concerned shall conduct, with respect to the case provided for in the first indent of the first subparagraph, regular and systematic official surveys on the presence of organisms in respect of which the protected zone has been recognized. Each finding of such organisms shall immediately be noti fied to the Commission. The risk arising from such finding shall be assessed by the Standing Committee on Plant Health and appropriate action decided on in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 18. The details of the surveys referred to in the first and third subparagraphs may be established in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 18, account being taken of sound scientific and statistical princi ples. The results of the above surveys shall be notified to the Commission. The Commission shall forward this information to the other Member States. The Commission shall, before 1 January 1998, submit a report to the Council on the operation of the sys tem of protected zones together, if necessary, with any appropriate proposals; (i) an official statement or measure made or taken, with (adapted) out prejudice to the provisions of Article 21: — by representatives of the official plant protection service of a Member State or, under their re sponsibility, by other public servants, in the case of statements or measures related to the issuing of the certificates specified in Article 7 (1) or Article 8 (2); 13 91/683/EEC-Art 1(4) (adapted) 88/572/EEC-Art 1(1) (adapted) — either by such representatives or public servants or by 'qualified agents' employed by one of the responsible official bodies of a Member State, in all other cases, provided that such agents have no personal interest in the outcome of the mea sures they take, and satisfy minimum standards of qualification. Member States shall ensure that their public servants and qualified agents have the qualifications necessary for the proper application of this Directive. In accor dance with the procedure laid down in Article 18, guidelines may be established for such qualifications. The Commission shall, acting within the Standing Committee on Plant Health, draw up Community pro grammes, the implementation of which it shall moni tor, regarding the further training of the public ser vants and qualified agents concerned, in an effort to raise the knowledge and experience acquired in the national context to the level of the aforementioned qualifications. It shall contribute to the financing of this further training and shall propose the inclusion of the necessary appropriations for that purpose in the Community budget 2. Save where it is expressery provided otherwise, the provisions of this Directive concern wood only in so far as it retains all or part of its natural round surface, with or without bark, or as it is in the form of chips, particles, sawdust, wood waste or scrap. Save for the purpose of the provisions relating to Annex V, wood, whether satisfying the conditions referred to in the first subparagraph or not, is also concerned where it is in the form of dunnage, spacers, pallets or packing material which are actually in use in the transport of objects of all kinds, provided that it presents a plant health risk.

The following shall be regarded as necessary measures within the meaning of Article 22: (adapted) (a) destruction, disinfection, disinfestation, sterilization, cleaning or any other treatement carried out officially or upon official request in respect of: (i) plants, plant products or other objects constitu ting the consignment(s) through which the harm ful organism was introduced into the area in question and which are recognized as being contaminated or liable to be contaminated, (ii) plants, plant products and other objects, recogni zed as being contaminated or liable to be conta minated by the harmful organism introduced, which have been grown from plants in the consignment(s) concerned or have been in close proximity to the plants, plant products or other objects of those consigments or to plants grown from them, (iii) growing substrates and land recognized as being contaminated or liable to be contaminated by the harmful organism concerned, 41 97/3/EC - Art 1. 2 (adapted) (iv) production material, packaging, wrapping and storage material, storage or packaging premises and means of transport which have been in contact with all or some of the plants, plant pro ducts and other objects referred to above, (b) inspections or testing carried out officially or upon of ficial request to monitor the presence or extent of contamination by the harmful organism which has been introduced, (c) prohibitions or restrictions in respect of the use of growing substrates, cultivable areas or premises, as well as plants, plant products or other objects other than material from the consignment(s) in question or grown therefrom where they result from official deci sions taken on the grounds of plant-health risks re lated to the harmful organism introduced. 3. Payments made from public funds in order to: — cover all or part of the costs of the measures de scribed in points (a) and (b) of paragraph 2, except for those related to the regular running costs of the competent official body concerned, or — to compensate for all or part of the financial losses other than loss of earnings resulting directly from one or more of the measures described in point (c) of paragraph 2, shall be considered to be expenditure directly relating to the necessary measures referred to in paragraph 2. By way of derogation from the second indent of the first subparagraph an implementing Regulation may specify, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18, cases in which compensation for loss of earnings shall be considered to be expenditure directly relating to necessary measures subject to the conditions specified in this respect in paragraph 5 as well as the time limitations applicable to those cases, with a maximum of three years. 4. In order to qualify for the financial contribution from the Community and without prejudice to Article 16, the Member State concerned shall apply to the Commission, at the latest before the end of the calendar year following that in which the appearance of the harmful organism was detected, and shall forthwith inform the Commission and the other Member States of: — — — the reference of the notification provided for in the first indent of paragraph 1, the nature and extent of the appearance of the harm ful organism as referred to in Article 22, and when, where and how it was detected, the identity of the consignments referred to in the third indent of paragraph 1 through which the harm ful organism was introduced, 42 97/3/EC - Art 1. 2 — — the necessary measures which have been taken or are planned for which it is seeking assistance, together with timetables for them, and the results obtained and the actual or estimated cost of the expenditure incurred or to be incurred, and the proportion of such expenditure covered or to be cov ered from public funds allocated by the Member State for implementation of those same necessary measures. Where the appearance of the harmful organism was de tected prior to 30 January 1997, that date shall be deemed to be the date of detection within the meaning of this paragraph and paragraph 5, provided that the actual date of detection is not earlier than 1 January 1995. However, this provision shall not apply in respect of compensation for loss of earnings referred to in paragraph 3, second sub paragraph save in exceptional cases, under the conditions laid down in the implementing Regulation referred to in paragraph 3, to loss of earnings occurring thereafter. 5.

In the light of the development of the situation in the Community, it may be decided, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18 or Article 19, that fur ther action will be implemented or that measures taken or planned by the Member State concerned will be made sub ject to certain requirements or additional conditions, if these are necessary for the achievement of the objctive in question. The allocation of the financial contribution from the Com munity for such further action, requirements or conditions shall be decided by the same procedure. Within the limits set by the appropriations available for these purposes, the financial contribution from the Community shall cover up to 50 % of expenditure relating directly to the further ac tion, requirements or conditions concerned. Where such further action, requirements or conditions are essentially designed to protect Community territories other than that of the Member State concerned, it may be de cided, in accordance with the same procedure, that the Community financial allocation shall cover more than 50 % of the expenditure. The financial contribution from the Community shall be of a limited duration and shall be degressive over the years concerned. 7.

The information referred to in paragraph 1 shall also be used to establish, in accordance with the Treaty, whether the Member State from which the consignment(s) came did not detect their non-compliance which resulted in the appearance of the harmful organism in the area concerned because that Member State failed to meet one of its ob ligations under the Treaty and under the provisions of this Directive relating in particular to the examinations laid down in Article 6 or the inspections laid down in Article 13 (1). 3. Where the conclusions referred to in paragraph 2 is reached in respect of the Member State referred to in Ar ticle 23 (1), the Community financial contribution shall not be allocated, shall not be paid or, if already paid, shall be refunded to the Community. In the latter case, the third subparagraph of Article 23 (10) shall apply.
