Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1002
of 9 July 2020
establishing a derogation from Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 as regards the requirements for introduction into the Union of ash wood originating or processed in the United States
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 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 41(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1203(2) authorises Member States to provide for a temporary derogation from certain provisions of Council Directive 2000/29/EC(3) in respect of special requirements concerning the introduction into the Union of ash (Fraxinus L.) wood originating or processed in the United States.
(2) Directive 2000/29/EC has been repealed and replaced by Regulation (EU) 2016/2031. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072(4) setting out rules and requirements concerning the introduction into the Union of certain plants, plant products or other objects has replaced Annexes I to V to that Directive.
(3) Pursuant to Article 8(1) of Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 in conjunction with point 87 of Annex VII to that Regulation, the introduction into the Union of ash wood originating or processed in the United States (‘the specified wood’) is subject to certain special requirements to avoid the risk of infestation into the Union by the pest Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire. Those requirements differ to a certain extent from the requirements set out in Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1203, as regards the introduction into the Union of the specified wood, its inspection and supervision.
(4) On the basis of recent Commission audits carried out in 2018 and 2019, it has been concluded that by applying under its official control the requirements laid down in Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1203, the United States ensures a level of phytosanitary protection which is equivalent to that provided by the requirements set out in points 87(a) and (b) of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) 2019/2072.
(5) Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1203 is to apply until 30 of June 2020. On 16 January 2020, the United States has requested a prolongation of that derogation after 30 June 2020.
(6) In order to guarantee the continuing imports of ash wood originating or processed in the United States, it is appropriate to provide for a derogation from Article 8(1) and points 87(a) and (b) of Annex VII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 so as to allow the introduction of the specified wood into the Union subject to compliance with special requirements reflecting, with a few adaptations, those set out in Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1203.
(7) This Regulation should apply from 1 July 2020, in order to ensure the continuation of imports of the specified wood.
(8) This Regulation should apply until 30 June 2023, in order to allow for the review of its application by that date.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
(2)

(3)
Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (OJ L 169, 10.7.2000, p. 1).

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 of 28 November 2019 establishing uniform conditions for the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 of the European Parliament and the Council, as regards protective measures against 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).
