Trientalis latifolia (Hook) Umbellularia californica (Hook. & Arn.) Nutt Vaccinium ovatum Pursh | Either—The certificate shall contain an additional declaration that the material originates in an area in which non-European isolates of Phytophthora ramorumare known not to occur, in which case the name of the area from where the material originates shall be specified under “place of origin”;orthe certificate shall be issued only after official verification by the official plant health service of the country from which the material originates (“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 susceptible plant material at the place of production; andrepresentative samples of the susceptible material 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”. |
| II. Susceptible wooda. Wood of— Acer macrophyllum Pursh. Aesculus californica (Spach) Nutt. Lithocarpus densiflorus (Hook. & Arn.) Rehd.

| b. Wood of Quercus spp. L. | Without prejudice to the requirements of item 25 of Schedule 4, Part A of the principal Order, if the wood originates in an area in which non-European isolates of Phytophthora ramorum are known not to occur, the certificate shall contain an additional declaration to that effect and the name of the area from where the material originates shall be specified under “place of origin”. |
