Abstract

These Regulations implement in Northern Ireland Commission Decision 2001/664/EC amending Commission Decision 96/301/EC authorising Member States temporarily to take emergency measures against the dissemination of Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith as regards Egypt. They do so by adding to the list of instruments amending the Decision contained in the Schedule to the principal Regulations. Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith is now referred to as Ralstonia solanacearum Smith (Yabuuchi) et al. Decision 2001/664/EC renews the framework within which potatoes may be imported from Egypt into the territory of the European Community during the 2001/2002 season. These Regulations also clarify the basis on which powers of inspectors under the Plant Health Order (Northern Ireland) 1993 may be used in respect of the Regulations.
