Further, the certificate shall only be issued after representative samples of the plants have been taken before shipment and have been inspected and found free from non-European isolates of the harmful organism in these inspections. The latter shall be mentioned on the certificate under the rubric ‘additional declaration’ as ‘found free from non-European isolates of Phytophthora ramorum Werres, De Cock & Man in 't Veld sp. nov.’.

(c)

in cases where signs of the harmful organism have been found on the plants at the place of production, appropriate procedures have been implemented aiming at eradicating the harmful organism, consisting at least of destruction of the infected plants and all susceptible plants within 2 m radius of the infected plants, and
