Abstract

This Order amends the principal Order of 1993 to provide for the granting of licences by the Forestry Commissioners in accordance with the requirements of Commission Directive 95/44/EC establishing the conditions under which certain harmful organisms, plants, plant products and other objects listed in Annexes I to V to Council Directive 77/93/EEC may be introduced into or moved within the Community or certain protected zones thereof, for trial or scientific purposes and for work on varietal selections. The Order provides for the granting of licences authorizing the landing, movement and keeping of material that would otherwise be prohibited and controls the use of such material (article 4). The Order also amends the recognized protected zones described in Schedule 5, Part B to the principal Order: (a) to implement Council Decision 95/1/EC adjusting the instruments concerning the accession of new Member States to the European Union; and (b) to reflect changes in the recognized protected zones agreed in accordance with the procedure laid down by Council Directive 77/93/EEC on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community, as amended (art. 6).
