COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2024/2004
of 23 July 2024
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 as regards the listing of pests and rules on the
introduction into, and movement within, the Union territory of plants, plant products and other
objects
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 2016 on
protective measures against pests of plants, amending Regulations (EU) No 228/2013, (EU) No 652/2014 and (EU)
No 1143/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Directives 69/464/EEC, 74/647/EEC,
93/85/EEC, 98/57/EC, 2000/29/EC, 2006/91/EC and 2007/33/EC(1), and in particular Article 5(2) and (3), Article 35(2),
Article 37(2) and (4), Article 40(2), Article 41(2), Article 53(2), Article 54(2), Article 72(1), Article 74(2), Article 79(2)
and Article 80(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072(2) establishes a list of Union quarantine pests, protected
zone quarantine pests and Union regulated non-quarantine pests (‘RNQPs’). It further sets out requirements for the
introduction into, or movement within, the Union territory of certain plants, plant products and other objects, in
order to prevent the entry, establishment and spread of those pests in the Union territory.
(2) Updated or new scientific and technical information from pest risk assessments, pest risk categorisations and pest
risk analyses carried out by the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’), the European and Mediterranean
Plant Protection Organisation (‘EPPO’) and the Member States, is available and serves as a basis for listing of new
pests. As a result, the respective special requirements for the introduction into, and movement within, the Union of
the plants, plant products and other objects affected by those pests, together with the respective rules on the
certification of those commodities, need to be updated. Moreover, due to the presence of Union quarantine pests on
imported consignments from certain origins new special requirements concerning certain pathways and third
countries should be adopted.
(3) Furthermore, outbreaks of Union quarantine pests in the Union territory, show that it is necessary to revise the status
of certain Union quarantine pests depending on whether they are known or not known to occur in the Union
territory.
(4) The name of the pest Guignardia laricina (Sawada) W. Yamam & Kaz. Itô should be replaced by Neofusicoccum laricinum
(Sawada) Y. Hattori & C. Nakashima(3), in order to reflect the latest developments of the international nomenclature
identified by EPPO(4).
(5) The pest Melampsora medusae f. sp. tremuloidis Shain no longer fulfils the conditions of Article 3 and Section 1 of
Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 in respect to its potential unacceptable environmental, social and economic
impact due to its host specificity. Therefore, it no longer qualifies as a Union quarantine pest and should be
removed from the list of Union quarantine pests set out in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072.

pests of plants, and repealing Commission Regulation (EC) No 690/2008 and amending Commission Implementing Regulation
(EU) 2018/2019 (OJ L 319, 10.12.2019, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2019/2072/oj).

OJ L, 26.7.2024
(6) In Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072, certain entries concerning Union quarantine pests of the
groups Choristoneura spp. and Cicadomorpha, which are known to be vectors of Xylella fastidiosa, Margarodidae,
Tephritidae and Citrus leprosis viruses, do not yet include the associated codes assigned by EPPO. As EPPO has created
those codes after the last amendment of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072, Annex II to that Regulation
should include those codes.
(7) Furthermore, it had been found that the pests Neoceratitis asiatica (Becker), Neoceratitis cyanescens (Bezzi) and
Neotephritis finalis (Loew) belonging to the Tephritidae family fulfil all of the conditions of Article 3 and Section 1 of
Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2016/2031, regarding their listing as Union quarantine pests(5). They should therefore
be included in the list of Union quarantine pests set out in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072.
(8) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1265(6)establishes measures to prevent the introduction into and
the spread within the Union territory of Rose rosette virus. Annual surveys in all Member States have shown that the
virus and its vector Phyllocoptes fructiphilus (Germar) are not present in the Union territory. Based on the pest risk
analysis of EPPO(7), it has been found that the pest and its vector fulfil the conditions of Article 3 and Section 1 of
Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 in respect of the Union territory. They should therefore be included in the
list of Union quarantine pests in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072, as Union quarantine pests
not known to be present in the Union territory. As a consequence, the special requirements for the introduction of
Rosa L. plants, other than seeds, originating in Canada, India or the United States and set out in Implementing
Regulation (EU) 2022/1265, should be included in Annex VII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072.
(9) Ripersiella hibisci Kawai and Takagi, Sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus and Sweet potato mild mottle virus no longer
fulfil the conditions of Article 3 and Section 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 to be listed as Union
quarantine pests. This is because the impact of those pests on the host plants, observed by Member States in the
outbreaks occurring in the Union territory, is not significant. Therefore, the criterion of having an unacceptable
economic, social and/or environmental impact on the Union territory is no longer fulfilled. Consequently, the
special requirements for the plants for planting, other than dormant plants, plants in tissue culture, seeds, bulbs,
tubers, corms and rhizomes, laid down in Annex VII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 for Sweet potato
chlorotic stunt virus and Sweet potato mild mottle virus, should be deleted.
(10) Furthermore, Draeculacephala minerva Ball [DRAEMI] and Draeculacephala sp. [1DRAEG] are both listed as Union
quarantine pests in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072. For reasons of clarity, the entry
Draeculacephala minerva Ball [DRAEMI] should be deleted, as it is a species of the genus Draeculacephala [1DRAEG].
(11) Tobacco ringspot virus and Tomato ringspot virus are present on several ornamental plants in the Union territory,
but a limited impact is observed at the occurring outbreaks. Eradication measures on those ornamental hosts are
thus not justifiable. They no longer fulfil the conditions of Article 3 and Section 1 of Annex I to Regulation
(EU) 2016/2031 in respect to the criterion of unacceptable environmental, social and economic impact on the
Union territory. They should therefore be removed from the list of Union quarantine pests in Annex II to
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072. As a result, the special requirements for plants for planting of Malus
Mill. and Pelargonium L’Herit. ex Ait., other than seeds, and plants for planting of Prunus L. and Rubus L. set out in
Annex VII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 for Tomato ringspot virus, should be deleted.

the spread within the Union territory of Rose Rosette Virus (OJ L 192, 21.7.2022, p. 14, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2022/

OJ L, 26.7.2024
(12) On the basis of a methodology developed by EPPO(8), it is appropriate to conclude that Tobacco ringspot virus
fulfils the criteria for RNQPs as set out in Article 36 and in Section 4 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 for
certain host plants. It is therefore justified to include that pest in Parts H and J of Annex IV to Implementing
Regulation (EU) 2019/2072, listing RNQPs in relation to seed of oil and fibre plants and fruit propagating material
and fruit plants intended for fruit production of Glycine max (L.) Merr. and Vaccinium L., respectively. Moreover, and
in order to prevent the presence of that pest on the seeds of Glycine max (L.) Merr., specific measures should be laid
down in Part G of Annex V to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072.
(13) On the basis of a methodology developed by EPPO 8, it is appropriate to conclude that Tomato ringspot virus fulfils
the criteria for RNQPs as set out in Article 36 and in Section 4 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 for certain
host plants. It is therefore justified to include that pest in Part J of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation
(EU) 2019/2072, listing RNQPs in relation to fruit propagating material and fruit plants intended for fruit
production of Malus Mill., Prunus L., Rubus L. and Vaccinium L.
(14) On the basis of a methodology developed by EPPO 8, it is appropriate to conclude that Pucciniastrum minimum
(Schweinitz) Arthur fulfils the criteria for RNQPs as set out in Article 36 and in Section 4 of Annex I to Regulation
(EU) 2016/2031 for certain host plants. It is therefore justified to include that pest in Part J of Annex IV to
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072, listing RNQPs in relation to fruit propagating material and fruit plants
intended for fruit production of Vaccinium L. with a tolerance threshold of 0 %.
(15) Member States’ experience with Fig mosaic agent has shown the lack of significant economic impact of the presence
of that pest on Ficus carica L. plants. Consequently, that pest no longer fulfils the conditions of Article 36 and in
Section 4 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 with respect to its potential unacceptable economic impact on
the intended use of Ficus carica L. plants. It should therefore be removed from the list of RNQP pests in Part J of
Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072.
(16) In accordance with point 16 of Annex VI to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072, the introduction into the
Union territory of plants for planting of stolon- or tuber-forming species of Solanum L. or their hybrids, other than
the tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. as specified in point 15 of that Annex, is prohibited. Those plants also include
seeds of Solanum L. However, the CN codes listed in point 16 do not include the one for seeds of Solanum L.
Therefore, and for reasons of clarity and legal certainty, the CN code for those seeds should be added in that point.
For the same reason, the relevant entry of the CN code for seeds of Solanum L. in Part A of Annex XI to that
Regulation should be deleted.
(17) Certain parts of the territory of Portugal were recognised as a protected zone with respect to Gonipterus scutellatus
Gyllenhal. Portugal has requested, in accordance with Article 35(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/2031, that the status of
its entire territory as a protected zone in respect of that protected zone quarantine pest is withdrawn. Following that
request, the entire territory of Portugal should therefore no longer be recognised as a protected zone in respect to
Gonipterus scutellatus Gyllenhal, and the relevant entries in Annexes III and X to Implementing Regulation
(EU) 2019/2072 should be deleted.
(18) A recent scientific opinion of the Authority on the probability of introduction of Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick)
into the Union territory through the imports of cut roses(9) has concluded that cut flowers of Rosa L. provide an
introduction pathway for that pest, which is listed in Part A of Annex II to Implementing Regulation
(EU) 2019/2072 as a Union quarantine pest not known to occur in the Union territory. Given the continued non-
compliances of cut flower Rosa L. consignments due to the presence of that pest, established as a result of border
controls in the Union territory, it is justified to introduce special requirements in Annex VII to Implementing
Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 for the introduction of these plants into the Union territory.

(19) Aleurocanthus spiniferus (Quaintance) is a polyphagous Union quarantine pest, present in the Union territory. Special
requirements exist in Annexes VII and VIII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 for the introduction into,
and movement within, the Union territory of plant species found infested with that pest. Further surveys for the
pest in the Union territory identified infestations of more host species. Therefore, the list of hosts should include
those species.
(20) Requirements concerning the introduction into, and movement within, the Union territory of certain plants, plant
products and other objects are laid down in Commission Implementing Decision 2012/697/EU(10)to prevent the
establishment and spread of Pomacea (Perry). In view of recent findings of this pest at border control inspections,
those measures should be adapted to ensure the respective commodities are free from that pest. For reasons of legal
consistency and clarity, those measures should be included in Annexes VII and VIII to Implementing Regulation
(EU) 2019/2072, while Implementing Decision 2012/697/EU is to be repealed by Commission Implementing
Regulation (EU) 2024/2013(11).
(21) Special requirements exist in Annexes VII and VIII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 for the introduction
into, and movement within, the Union territory of certain plant species that host Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire.
Furthermore, those plant species are included in the lists of plants, plant products and other objects subject to
phytosanitary certificates or a plant passport of Annexes XI and XIII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072,
respectively. In accordance with the pest survey card of the Authority(12), the plants of Juglans ailantifolia Carr.,
Juglans mandshurica Maxim., Ulmus davidiana Planch. and Pterocarya rhoifolia Siebold & Zucc have not been confirmed
as potential hosts of that pest, while species of those genera were found not to be suitable for larval development in
field tests.
(22) Consequently, all the respective references to those plants in Annexes VII, VIII, XI and XIII to Implementing
Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 should be deleted.
(23) Furthermore, Article 4 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/434(13) lays down provisions for
derogations from the establishment of a demarcated area when the presence of that pest is officially confirmed.
Therefore, and for reasons of consistency and legal clarity, points 26 to 29 of Annex VIII to Implementing
Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 should provide for exempting the plants subject to those derogations from the
respective requirements.
(24) Certain CN codes, or their descriptions, used in Annexes VI, VII, X, XI and XIII to Implementing Regulation
(EU) 2019/2072, should be aligned with the updated codes of Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87(14).
(25) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(26) The rules on listing of new Union quarantine pests, for which no measures have been adopted pursuant to Article 30
of Regulation (EU) 2016/2031, the rules on listing of new RNQPs and the relevant measures and the measures for
plants for planting in relation to the pest Pomacea (Perry) and Aleurocanthus spiniferus (Quaintance) should apply
from 26 January 2025. That period is necessary to allow the competent authorities and professional operators to
adapt to the new requirements.
