Abstract

This Order implements certain measures required by Council Directives 2001/32/EC and 2001/33/EC both of 8th May 2001 by amending the Plant Health (Forestry) (Great Britain) Order 1993 (SI 1993/1283) ("the Order"). The first Directive amends the protected zones established under the principal Plant Health Directive, Council Directive 2000/29/EC and the latter provides for consequential amendments to certain Annexes of that Directive. The Order is amended to remove the protected zone in respect of the pest Pissodes spp. (European) which is present in Great Britain and which has now spread to Northern Ireland and Ireland (art. 2(4)), and to modify the protected zone within England in respect of the pest Dendroctonus micans, (art. 2(5)). Amendments are also made to update the references to the principal Plant Health Directive, Council Directive 2000/29/EC, having replaced the previous Directive 77/93/EEC (arts. 2(2), (3) and (6)).
