SCHEDULE 14 — SPECIAL MEASURES FOR THE CONTROL OF POTATO WART DISEASE
1
If, as a result of an official test, Synchytrium endobioticum (Schilb.) Perc., the pathogenic agent of Potato Wart Disease, is recorded, an inspector must demarcate the contaminated plot and a safety zone around that plot which is large enough to ensure the protection of surrounding areas.
2
A plot must be regarded as being contaminated for the purposes of paragraph 1 when symptoms of Potato Wart Disease have been found on at least one plant from the plot.
3
A notice under article 32 may require any potato tubers or haulms which are present on a contaminated plot or which have come from such a plot to be treated in such a way that any Potato Wart Disease present on them is destroyed.
4
Where an inspector is satisfied that any potato tubers or haulms are contaminated with Potato Wart Disease and he or she cannot determine whether those tubers or haulms have been present on a contaminated plot, he or she may serve a notice under article 32 which requires the whole batch containing the affected tubers or haulms to be treated in such a way that there is no risk of the spread of Potato Wart Disease.
5
Where a contaminated plot is demarcated under paragraph 1—
- (a) potatoes must not be grown on it; and
- (b) plants intended for transplanting must not be grown, stored or moved on it.
6
Where a safety zone is demarcated under paragraph 1 potatoes must not be grown on it unless an inspector is satisfied they are of a variety which is resistant to the races of Synchytrium endobioticum found on the contaminated plot to which that safety zone relates.
7
A potato variety must be considered to be resistant to a particular race of Synchytrium endobioticum for the purposes of paragraph 6 where that variety reacts to contamination by the pathogenic agent of that race in such a way that there is no danger of secondary infection.
8
Where an inspector is satisfied that Synchytrium endobioticum is no longer present on a plot demarcated under paragraph 1 or on its associated safety zone, he or she must revoke that demarcation.
SCHEDULE 15 — SPECIAL MEASURES FOR THE CONTROL OF POTATO CYST NEMATODE
1
If, as a result of an official test, Potato Cyst Nematode is recorded, an inspector must demarcate the contaminated plot.
2
Subject to paragraph 5, a person must not distribute as seed potatoes any seed potatoes which an inspector is satisfied are contaminated with or likely to be contaminated with Potato Cyst Nematode, unless they have been treated in such a way that, to the satisfaction of an inspector, they are no longer contaminated.
3
Subject to paragraph 5, where contaminated land is demarcated under paragraph 1—
- (a) potatoes must not be grown on it; and
- (b) plants intended for transplanting must not be grown, stored or moved on it.
4
Where an inspector is satisfied that Potato Cyst Nematode is no longer present on a plot which is demarcated under paragraph 1, he or she must revoke that demarcation.
5
Provided there is no risk of the spread of Potato Cyst Nematode and the control of the pest is not prejudiced, an inspector may, by notice in writing, authorise—
- (a) the growing on a contaminated plot of potatoes, other than seed potatoes, which are resistant to pathotypes of Potato Cyst Nematode found on that contaminated plot;
- (b) the growing on a contaminated plot of potatoes, other than seed potatoes, provided that such potatoes are to be harvested before the cysts of Potato Cyst Nematode mature; or
- (c) the growing on a contaminated plot of potatoes other than seed potatoes where the ground has been decontaminated by appropriate means.
6
A potato variety must be regarded as being resistant to a particular pathotype of Potato Cyst Nematode for the purposes of paragraph 5(a) if, when that variety is grown, a natural and annual decrease in the population of that pathotype is found to occur.
