(b)sterilise or clean in any manner specified by the Department, the premises and facilities at which the activities were carried out.
(5) The Department may authorise the licensee to refrain from destroying any relevant material under paragraph (4)(a) if the Department is satisfied that it has been subject to appropriate quarantine measures and has been found, in any manner specified by the Department, to be free from the plant pests specified in Schedule 1 and in column 3 of Schedule 2 and from other plant pests considered by the Department to pose a risk.
(6) For the purpose of paragraph (2), references to the responsible official body in Article 2(2) of, and Annex I to, Directive 2008/61/EC are to be taken to refer to the Department.
