Abstract

This Decision sets out emergency measures to prevent the spread within the European Union of the pine wood nematode (PWN). It requires Member States to conduct annual surveys for PWN on susceptible plants, susceptible wood and bark and on the vector, and determine whether there is any evidence of the presence of PWN in their territory in areas in which PWN was previously not known to occur. To this end, the following definitions are laid down: (a) susceptible plants means plants (other than fruit and seeds) of Abies Mill., Cedrus Trew, Larix Mill., Picea A. Dietr., Pinus L., Pseudotsuga Carr. and Tsuga Carr.; (b) susceptible wood means wood of conifers (Coniferales), with the exception of sawn wood and logs of Taxus L. and Thuja L.; (c) susceptible bark means bark of conifers (Coniferales). The Annex lays down detailed eradication and containment measures.
