Viburnum spp. L. | Either— The certificate shall contain an additional declaration that the material originates in an area recognised by the official plant health service of the country from which the material originates (“the relevant plant health service”) as being free from non-European isolates of Phytophthora ramorum, in which case the name of the area from where the material originates shall be specified under “place of origin”;or the certificate shall be issued only after official verification by the relevant plant health service that— upon official inspections carried out during the last complete cycle of vegetation of the susceptible material the subject of the certificate, or upon laboratory testing of apparent symptoms of non-European isolates of Phytophthora ramorum, no signs of non-European isolates of Phytophthora ramorum have been found on susceptible material or any susceptible tree at the place of production; and representative samples of the plants have been taken before shipment, and have been tested and found free from non-European isolates of Phytophthora ramorum in these tests, in which case the certificate shall be endorsed by the relevant plant health service under the heading “additional declaration” with the statement “tested and found free from non-European isolates of Phytophthora ramorum”. |
SCHEDULE 2
| Susceptible Material | Requirements to be met in respect of susceptible material produced in England or moved into England from elsewhere in the United Kingdom, or from another Member State, or from the Channel Islands or Isle of Man or from Switzerland |

Viburnum spp. L. | Either— the susceptible material originates in areas in which Phytophthora ramorum is known not to occur; upon official inspection at the place of production, carried out at least once at an appropriate time when the susceptible material is in active growth, or upon laboratory testing of apparent symptoms of Phytophthora ramorum, no signs of Phytophthora ramorum have been found on the susceptible material during the last complete cycle of vegetation; or where signs of Phytophthora ramorum have been found on susceptible material at the place of production, appropriate procedures aimed at eradicating Phytophthora ramorum have been implemented which include at least the following measures— the destruction of susceptible material found to be infected by Phytophthora ramorum (“infected material”) and any other susceptible material within a radius of two metres of the infected material; susceptible material within a radius of ten metres of the infected material and all other susceptible material from the same lot as the infected material have been retained at the place of production and, in the three months following the finding of infection referred to in sub-paragraph (i), have not been subject to any treatments that may suppress symptoms of Phytophthora ramorum and have been found free from Phytophthora ramorum after additional inspections carried out at least twice; and all other susceptible material at the place of production has been inspected frequently following the finding of infection referred to in sub-paragraph (i) and found on such inspection to be free from Phytophthora ramorum. |
