[F1 6. Fragaria L. U.K.

(a) All categories U.K.

Visual inspection U.K.

Visual inspections shall be carried out twice a year during the growing season. The foliage of Fragaria L. shall be visually inspected concerning the presence of Phytophthora fragariae C.J. Hickman.

For propagating material and fruit plants produced by micropropagation, and which are maintained for a period shorter than three months, only one visual inspection during this period is necessary.

(b) Pre-basic category U.K.

Sampling and testing U.K.

Each pre-basic mother plant shall be sampled and tested one year after its acceptance as a pre-basic mother plant and subsequently once per growing season concerning the presence of RNQPs listed in Annex II, and in the case of doubts concerning the presence of RNQPs listed in Annex I.

(c) Basic category U.K.

Sampling and testing U.K.

A representative sample of roots shall be sampled and tested in the case of symptoms of Phytophthora fragariae C.J. Hickman on the foliage. Sampling and testing shall be carried out if the symptoms of Arabis mosaic virus, Raspberry ringspot virus, Strawberry crinkle virus, Strawberry latent ringspot virus, Strawberry mild yellow edge virus, Strawberry vein banding virus and Tomato black ring virus are unclear upon visual inspection. Sampling and testing shall be carried out in the case of doubts concerning the presence of RNQPs, other than Arabis mosaic virus, Phytophthora fragariae C.J. Hickman, Raspberry ringspot virus, Strawberry crinkle virus, Strawberry latent ringspot virus, Strawberry mild yellow edge virus, Strawberry vein banding virus, and Tomato black ring virus, listed in Annexes I and II.
