What EU Plant Health Regulation 2016/2031 on protective measures against pests of plants requires
This regulation establishes rules to determine phytosanitary risks posed by pests (including pathogenic agents, animals, or parasitic plants) and measures to reduce those risks to an acceptable level. It covers the identification and classification of Union quarantine pests and protected zone quarantine pests, as well as priority pests for which the most severe economic, social, or environmental impact is expected. Professional operators must notify competent authorities upon suspicion or confirmation of a Union quarantine pest and take eradication measures such as withdrawal or recall. Member States must carry out surveys and establish multiannual survey programmes for early detection. The regulation requires phytosanitary certificates for introduction of certain plants, plant products, or other objects from third countries, and plant passports for movement within the Union territory for listed items. It mandates registration of professional operators, record-keeping for at least three years, and traceability protocols. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts for listing priority pests, establishing protected zones, and setting requirements for wood packaging material in line with ISPM15. The regulation repeals several earlier directives (69/464/EEC, 74/647/EEC, 93/85/EEC, 98/57/EC, 2000/29/EC, 2006/91/EC, 2007/33/EC) and amends Regulations No 228/2013, No 652/2014, and No 1143/2014. It respects fundamental rights including respect for private and family life, right to property, and protection of personal data.
