Response to Listing high risk plants & plants for which a phytosanitary certificate is not required for introduction into the Union

1 Aug 2018

"(5) Wood of the genus Ulmus is known to host and provide a significant pathway for the introduction and establishment of the pest Saperda tridentata. That pest is known to have a major impact on plant species which are of a major economic, social or environmental importance to the Union territory. However, this pest does not occur in all third countries, nor in certain areas within a third country where it is known to occur. In view of this, wood of the genus Ulmus originating from third countries or areas of third countries where Saperda tridentata is known to occur, qualifies as a high risk plant, within the meaning of Article 42(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/2031. Therefore the introduction into the Union of that wood should be provisionally prohibited." Vorschlag: Ersetzen von "is known to occur" in "occurs" Begründung: Es sollte deutlich werden, dass Regionen, in denen Saperda tridentata nur temporär auftritt, wieder als Importländer/regionen für Ulmenholz bzw. Ulmenholzprodukte zugelassen werden, wenn das Problem vor Ort gelöst wurde.
