Commission Directive 93/49/EECof 23 June 1993setting out the schedule indicating the conditions to be met by ornamental plant propagating material and ornamental plants pursuant to Council Directive 91/682/EEC
Article 11.This Directive establishes the schedules referred to in Article 4 of Directive 91/682/EEC including the requirements as to labelling referred to in the third paragraph of Article 11 of that Directive.2.The schedule applies to the growing crop and ornamental propagating material (including rootstocks), and ornamental plants derived therefrom, of all the genera and species referred to in Annex to Directive 91/682/EEC, and to rootstocks of other genera and species referred to in Article 4 (2), irrespective of the propagation system applied, those items being hereinafter referred to as "the material".3.The provisions of this Directive shall apply progressively, account being taken of the production cycles of the material referred to in paragraph 2.
Article 2The material shall, where applicable, comply with the relevant plant health conditions laid down in Council Directive 77/93/EECOJ No L 26, 31. 1. 1977, p. 20..
Article 3The propagating material of ornamental plants shall, at least on visual inspection, be found at the place of production to be practically free from all pests listed in the Annex with regard to the respective propagating material of ornamental plants.The presence of regulated non-quarantine pests ("RNQPs") on propagating material of ornamental plants subject to marketing shall, at least upon visual inspection, not exceed the respective thresholds set out in the Annex.The propagating material of ornamental plants shall, at least on visual inspection, be practically free from any pests, other than the pests listed in the Annex with regard to the particular propagating material of ornamental plants, which reduce the usefulness and quality of that material, or from any signs or symptoms thereof.The material shall also comply with the requirements concerning Union quarantine pests, protected zone quarantine pests and RNQPs provided for in implementing acts adopted pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/2031Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 of the European Parliament of the Council of 26 October 2016 on protective measures against pests of plants, amending Regulations (EU) No 228/2013, (EU) No 652/2014 and (EU) No 1143/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Directives 69/464/EEC, 74/647/EEC, 93/85/EEC, 98/57/EC, 2000/29/EC, 2006/91/EC and 2007/33/EC (OJ L 317, 23.11.2016, p. 4)., as well as with the measures adopted pursuant to Article 30(1) of that Regulation.
Article 3aPropagating material of Palmae belonging to the genera and species referred to in the Annex and having a diameter of the stem at the base of over 5 cm shall comply with one of the following requirements:(a)it shall have been grown for their entire life in an area which has been established as free from Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) by the responsible official body in accordance with relevant International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures;(b)it shall have been grown in the two years prior to their marketing in a site within the Union with complete physical protection against the introduction of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier), or in a site within the Union where the appropriate preventive treatments have been applied with respect to that harmful organism. It shall be subject to visual inspections carried out at least once every four months, confirming freedom of that material from Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier).This Article shall apply without prejudice to the rules on protected zones adopted pursuant to point (h) of Article 2(1) and Article 5(3) of Directive 2000/29/EC.
Article 41.The material shall have adequate identity and purity relative to the genus or species in question, or where appropriate, group of plants, and, where marketed or intended to be marketed with a reference to the variety pursuant to Article 9 (1) of Directive 91/682/EEC, shall also have identity and purity as to variety.2.In the case of commonly known varieties referred to in the first indent of Article 9 (2) of Directive 91/682/EEC the official denomination of the variety shall be used by the supplier.3.In the case of varieties which are already the subject of an application for plant breeders' rights or an official registration referred to in the first indent of Article 9 (2) of Directive 91/682/EEC, the breeders' reference or proposed name must be used until the authorization is granted.4.In the case of varieties entered on lists kept by suppliers pursuant to the second indent of Article 9 (2) of Directive 91/682/EEC, the requirement referred to in paragraph 1 in respect of variety shall be based on the detailed descriptions given in the lists kept by suppliers.
Article 51.The material shall be substantially free from any defects likely to impair their quality as propagating or as planting material.2.The vigour and dimensions of the material shall be satisfactory in respect of its usefulness as propagating material and ornamental plants. Furthermore, an appropriate balance shall be assured between the roots, stems and leaves.3.In the case of seeds, in addition to the requirements in paragraph 1, the germination capacity shall be satisfactory.
Article 61.The supplier's document referred to in Article 11 of Directive 91/682/EEC shall be of suitable material which has not previously been used and shall be printed in at least one of the official languages of the Community. It shall contain the following information headings:(i)indication "EEC quality";(ii)indication of EEC Member State code;(iii)indication of responsible official body or its distinguishing code;(iv)registration or accreditation number;(v)name of supplier;(vi)individual serial, week or batch number;(vii)date of issue of the supplier's documents;(viii)botanical name;(ix)denomination of the variety, where appropriate. In the case of rootstock, denomination of the variety of its designation;(x)denomination of the group of plants, where appropriate;(xi)quantity;(xii)in the case of imports from third countries pursuant to Article 16 (2) of Directive 91/682/EEC, the name of the country of harvesting.2.In the case where the material is accompanied by a plant passport in accordance with Commission Directive 92/105/EECOJ No L 4, 8. 1. 1993, p. 22. the plant passport may, if the supplier so wishes, constitute the supplier's document referred to in paragraph 1. Nonetheless, the indication "EEC quality" and an indication as to the responsible official body under Directive 91/682/EEC must be given and a reference to the denomination of the variety, rootstock or group of plants. In the case of imports from third countries pursuant to Article 16 (2) of Directive 91/682/EEC, the name of the country of harvesting must also be given. This information may be on the same document as the plant passport but clearly separated.
