In this Annex:
‘competent authority’, in relation to plants for planting originating in a third country, means the national plant protection organisation of the country of origin or any official authority or body acting under the supervision of the national plant protection organisation;
‘RNQPs’ means GB regulated non-quarantine pests.
1.The competent authority, or the professional operator under the official supervision of the competent authority, must carry out field inspections on the crop from which the seed of Helianthus annuus L. is produced concerning the presence of Plasmopara halstedii (Farlow) Berlese & de Toni in the crop to ensure that the presence of that pest does not exceed the thresholds set out in the table in Part G of Annex 4.
2.For the purposes of point (1), the competent authority may authorise inspectors, other than the professional operators, to carry out the field inspections on its behalf and under its official supervision.
3.Those field inspections must be carried out when the condition and the stage of development of the crop allow for an adequate inspection. At least one field inspection must be carried out each year, at the most appropriate time for the detection of the respective RNQPs.
4.The competent authority must determine the size, the number and the distribution of the portions of the field to be inspected in accordance with appropriate methods.
5.The proportion of the crops for the production of seed to be officially inspected by the competent authority must be at least 5%.
1.The competent authority must:
(a)officially draw seed samples from lots of oil and fibre plants;
(b)authorise seed samplers to carry out sampling on its behalf and under its official supervision;
(c)compare the seed samples drawn by itself with those of the same seed lot drawn by the seed samplers under official supervision as referred to in point (b);
[F2(d)supervise the performance of the seed samplers.
2.The competent authority or the professional operator under official supervision must sample and test oil and fibre plants in accordance with up-to-date international methods.
3.Except for automatic sampling, the competent authority must check a proportion of at least 5 % of the seed lots entered for official certification.
4.That proportion must be spread as evenly as possible over natural and legal persons entering seed for certification and the species entered, but may also be aimed at eliminating specific doubts.
5.In the case of automatic sampling, appropriate procedures must be applied and the sampling must be officially supervised.
6.For the examination of seed for certification, samples must be drawn from homogeneous lots and, as regards the lot and sample weights, in accordance with the table in Annex 3 to Directive 66/401/EEC.
