Directive 68/193/EEC is amended as follows:
Annex I is replaced by the following:
The stock nurseries and the cutting nurseries shall be sampled and tested for the RNQPs listed in Section 7, as regards the genus or species concerned. In case of doubts concerning the presence of the RNQPs listed in Sections 6 and 7, as regards the genus or species concerned, the stock nurseries and cutting nurseries shall be sampled and tested.
As regards sampling and testing, Member States shall apply protocols of the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organisation (EPPO), or other protocols which are internationally recognised. Where such protocols do not exist, the relevant protocols established at national level shall be applied. In that case, Member States shall, on request, make available those protocols to the other Member States and to the Commission.
As regards sampling and testing of vines in the stock nurseries intended for the production of initial propagating material, Member States shall apply biological indexing on indicator plants to assess the presence of viruses, viroids, virus-like diseases and phytoplasmas, or other equivalent protocols which are internationally recognised.
That sampling and testing shall be carried out taking into account the climatic conditions and the biology of the pests which may host the viruses listed in Section 7.
Sampling and testing shall also not be carried out where vines have not been grown in the soil of production for a period of at least five years and where there is no doubt concerning the absence in that soil of the pests which may host the viruses listed in Section 7.
