(a)no symptoms of Impatiens necrotic spot tospovirus have been observed on plants at the site of production during the current growing period, or
(b)any plants at the production site showing symptoms of Impatiens necrotic spot tospovirus during the current growing period have been rogued out and a representative sample of the plants to be moved has been tested and found free from Impatiens necrotic spot tospovirus.”;
(ii)in the second entry for “Tomato ringspot virus [TORSV0]”, in the third column, in point (b)—
