Abstract

The Regulations implement Commission Decision 2004/4/EC authorising Member States temporarily to take additional measures against the dissemination of Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith (now known as Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) Yabuuchi et al.) as regards Egypt. The Decision permits potatoes originating in Egypt, other than seed potatoes, to be imported into the Community only if the measures laid down in the Decision are complied with. It consolidates and repeals Commission Decision 96/301/EC (as amended). Regulation 3(1) makes provision in respect of the phytosanitary certificate required by the Plant Health (Great Britain) Order 1993 to accompany imports of potato tubers into Wales and without which such imports are prohibited. In the case of potatoes originating in Egypt, the certificate must comply with the additional requirements imposed by the Decision. Any person who imports such potatoes without a valid phytosanitary certificate, in contravention of the prohibition imposed by the 1993 Order, with intent to evade such prohibition, is guilty of an offence.
