10. Where an area is demarcated under paragraph 3, the appropriate UK plant health authority must ensure that measures are taken to eradicate the plant pest in the area or, where it has concluded that this is no longer possible, to contain the spread of the plant pest from the area.
11. The eradication measures must include—
(a)the felling of all infested plants and plants with symptoms caused by the plant pest, other than any plant to which sub-paragraph (d) applies, and the complete removal of their roots at the appropriate time;
(b)the felling of all susceptible plants within a radius of 100 m of an infested plant, other than any plant to which sub-paragraph (d) applies, and the examination of those plants for any sign of infestation;
(c)the removal, examination and disposal of plants felled in accordance with sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) and their roots, taking all necessary precautions to avoid the spread of the plant pest during and after felling;
(d)in any case where the appropriate UK plant health authority concludes that the felling of an infested tree, any tree with symptoms caused by the plant pest or a susceptible plant within a radius of 100 m of an infested plant would not be appropriate and alternative eradication measures can be applied to offer the same level of protection to those measures, those alternative eradication measures;
(e)the prevention of any movement of potentially infested plants out of the demarcated area;
(f)the tracing back to the origin of the infestation and the tracing of plants associated with the infestation as far as possible, along with examinations of the plants traced for any sign that they are infested with the plant pest, which must include targeted destructive sampling;
(g)where appropriate, the replacement of susceptible plants by other plants;
(h)the prohibition on the planting of susceptible plants in the open air within a radius of 100 m of an infested plant, except in a place of production;
(i)intensive monitoring for the presence of the plant pest by annual inspections at appropriate times on host plants, with specific focus on the buffer zone, including, where appropriate, targeted destructive sampling;

12. The containment measures must include—
(a)the felling of all infested plants and plants with symptoms caused by the plant pest, other than any plant to which sub-paragraph (c) applies, and the complete removal of their roots at the appropriate time;
(b)the removal, examination and disposal of plants felled in accordance with sub-paragraph (a) and their roots, taking all necessary precautions to avoid the spread of the plant pest after felling;
(c)in any case where the appropriate UK plant health authority concludes that the felling and the disposal of an infested tree or any tree with symptoms caused by the plant pest would not be appropriate and alternative containment measures can be applied to offer the same level of protection to those measures, those alternative containment measures;
(d)the prevention of any movement of potentially infested plants out of the demarcated area;
(e)where appropriate, the replacement of susceptible plants by other plants;
(f)the prohibition on the planting of susceptible plants in the open air within a radius of 100 m of an infested plant, except in a place of production;
(g)intensive monitoring for the presence of the plant pest by annual inspections at appropriate times on host plants, which must include targeted destructive sampling;

14. The appropriate UK plant health authority may only conclude that it is not possible to eradicate the plant pest from a demarcated area where the results of official surveys carried out over a period of four or more consecutive years have confirmed the presence of the plant pest in the demarcated area and there is evidence that the plant pest can no longer be eradicated from the area.
PART DMeasures to be taken where no demarcated area is established
15. The appropriate UK plant health authority need not demarcate an area in relation to a finding of the plant pest in a relevant UK territory where—
(a)there is evidence that—
(i)the infestation has been caused by the movement of susceptible plants to the area of infestation and those plants were infested with the plant pest prior to their movement to that area; or
(ii)it is an isolated finding which is not expected to lead to the establishment of the plant pest; and
(b)it has ascertained that the plant pest is not established in the area and will not successfully breed or spread if appropriate eradication measures are taken.
16. Where the appropriate UK plant health authority does not demarcate an area for the reasons specified in paragraph 15(a) and (b), the appropriate UK plant health authority must ensure that—
(a)measures are immediately taken for the purpose of promptly eradicating the plant pest and preventing its spread;

5. The appropriate UK plant health authority must by notice and without delay demarcate an area in relation to the infection consisting of an infected zone and a buffer zone around the infected zone.
6. The infected zone must include all plants known to be infected by the plant pest, all plants showing symptoms indicating possible infection by the plant pest and all other plants liable to be infected by the plant pest due to their close proximity to infected plants or a known common source of production with infected plants or plants grown from them.
7. The boundary of the buffer zone must be at least five km beyond the boundary of the infected zone, but may be reduced to one km beyond the boundary of the infected zone where the appropriate UK plant health authority concludes with a high degree of confidence that the initial presence of the plant pest has not resulted in any spread of the plant pest and the following conditions have been met—
(a)all host plants within a radius of 100 m of the infected plant have been promptly removed;
(b)no other plants have been found infected by the plant pest in the infected zone following official tests which have been carried out at least once during the course of the year and which targeted symptomatic plants, as well as asymptomatic plants in the proximity of the symptomatic ones;

(b)the felling of all susceptible plants within a radius of 100 m of an infested plant, other than any plant to which sub-paragraph (d) applies, and the examination of those plants for any sign of infestation;
(c)the removal, examination and disposal of plants felled in accordance with sub-paragraphs (a) and (b), and where necessary their roots, taking all necessary precautions to avoid the spread of the plant pest during and after felling;
(d)in any case where the appropriate UK plant health authority concludes that the felling and disposal of any infested plant, any plant with symptoms caused by the plant pest or any susceptible plant within a radius of 100 m of an infested plant would not be appropriate due to the particular social, cultural or environmental value of the plant, regular detailed examination of any sign of infestation and the application of measures equivalent to its felling and disposal to prevent any possible spread of the plant pest from the plant;
(e)the prohibition of any movement of potentially infested plants out of the demarcated area;
(f)the tracing back to the origin of the infestation and the tracing of plants and wood associated with the infestation as far as possible, along with examinations of the plants and wood traced for any sign that they are infested with the plant pest, which must include targeted destructive sampling;
(g)where appropriate, the replacement of susceptible plants by other plants;
(h)the prohibition on the planting of susceptible plants in the open air within a radius of 100 m of an infested plant, except in a place of production authorised by an appropriate UK plant health authority;

PART DMeasures to be taken where no demarcated area is established
15. The appropriate UK plant health authority need not demarcate an area in relation to a finding of the plant pest in a relevant UK territory—
(a)where there is evidence that—
(i)the infestation has been caused by the movement of susceptible plants or susceptible wood to the area in which the plant pest was found and that the susceptible plants or susceptible wood were infested with the plant pest before that movement; or
(ii)it is an isolated finding which is not expected to lead to the establishment of the plant pest; and
(b)where it has ascertained from a specific investigation that the plant pest is not established in the area and that it will not successfully breed or spread due to its biology if appropriate eradication measures are taken.
16. Where the appropriate UK plant health authority does not demarcate an area for the reasons specified in paragraph 15(a) and (b), the appropriate UK plant health authority must ensure that—
(a)measures are taken immediately for the purpose of promptly eradicating the plant pest and preventing its spread;
