Evaluation of the Community Plant Health Regime: Final Report DG SANCO Evaluation Framework Contract Lot 3 (Food Chain) Table 2-2: Overview of CPHR objectives and measures (a) Objective Operational objectives Measure To protect the EU against the harm caused by the introduction of HOs To prevent the introduction (entry, establishment) of HOs which are not already present in the Community - Border control - Notification of interceptions (EUROPHYT) - Categorisation of HOs (PRA) - Surveillance - Eradication - Laboratory testing - R&D (e.g. early detection methods which are sufficiently sensitive) - Training of inspectors and laboratory To protect the EU against the harm caused by the spread of HOs Internal market To prevent the spread of HOs which are not widely present within the Community To secure free movement of plants and plant products within the EU staff - Surveillance - Notification of outbreaks (PRA) - Emergency and control measures (e.g. Diabrotica) - Protected zones and regionalisation, surveillance of PZ - Eradication - Laboratory testing - Training of inspectors and laboratory staff - Establishment of demarcated areas, buffer zones, treatment - R&D (e.g. early detection methods which are sufficiently sensitive) - Inspection and registration of operators - Authorisation and supervision - Harmonisation of operator inspection practices (Art 21.6) - Training of inspectors and laboratory staff - Laboratory testing - Plant passports - R&D (e.g. early detection methods which are sufficiently sensitive) (These measures currently cover mainly seeds & plants for planting) (a) This Table aims to capture the key measures prescribed at EU level under the current CPHR (as laid down in the relevant EU legislation), not to provide a complete and exhaustive list of all the measures in place. It is a list of currently applied measures, not a presentation of the optimal intervention framework for plant health. Source: FCEC based on review of legislation Food Chain Evaluation Consortium 30
Evaluation of the Community Plant Health Regime: Final Report DG SANCO Evaluation Framework Contract Lot 3 (Food Chain) The Directive foresees a menu of measures depending on the HOs to which these are addressed, as determined by the HO listing in the Annexes I to VI. Although the definition of a HO in the Directive formally applies to all HOs, in practice the current scope pertains to regulated quarantine pests, thereby largely excluding regulated non quarantine pests (RNQPs) for which a tolerance level is applicable. The provisions for setting up of monitoring and surveillance programmes have the objective to ensure that the EU territory (or Protected Zones) remains free of HOs. The provisions to carry out annual surveys in the MS are confined to HOs related to Protected Zones and to Emergency Measures. It is compulsory for MS to notify findings of listed organisms as well as those non-listed organisms that are found for the first time in the territory of a MS. The approach followed for the categorisation of HOs and the monitoring and surveillance measures are further evaluated in a specific thematic case study (Theme 1). The existing provisions of preventive measures on imports in part pertain to HOs which are not allowed to enter the EU territory, either in general (Annex I of the Directive) or when linked to specific commodities (Annex II). Other provisions specify plants and plant products of which import from TCs into the EU is prohibited, as well as specific import requirements for commodities (e.g. official guarantees that the material originates from a country, region, field or place of production that is free from the HO involved, or official guarantees for appropriate treatment of commodities to eliminate any such HOs 31 ). In line with the WTO- SPS agreement, requirements for intra-Community trade must equate to the provisions for import from TCs, except when differences in provisions are technically justified. Regulated plants and plant products must, as a general rule, be accompanied by an official plant health certificate as laid down in the EU legislation. The products are subject to both documentary and physical checks before release into the Community by customs authorities; documentary checks must always be carried out at the border, while identity checks and plant health checks may be carried out at the <strong>final</strong> destination. For intra-Community movements between the point of entry and the <strong>final</strong> destination where the import inspections are carried out, the CPHR requires the use of an official plant health document that was developed for this purpose. In case of risk of spread of HOs, compulsory import inspection checks can be imposed on the relevant plants and plant products. The import regime was revised in 2002 inter alia with the introduction of reduced frequency checks under certain conditions, implemented from 1 January 2005. In case of derogation requests from existing import requirements or prohibitions, the Commission services evaluate whether the plant health situation, the official services, the legal provisions, the control systems and production standards of the requesting TCs meet the EU requirements. An on-the-spot inspection by the Food and Veterinary Office – FVO is often required before the derogation can be considered. A specific system has been established for the introduction or movement of HOs listed in the Directive, for trial or scientific purposes and for work on varietal selections (Directive 2008/61/EC). 31 Example: coniferous wood and wood packaging material from specific third countries must be debarked and have undergone heat treatment.
