The Order is amended to remove the protected zone in respect of the pest Pissodes spp. (European) which is present in Great Britain and which has now spread to Northern Ireland and Ireland (article 2(4)), and to modify the protected zone within England in respect of the pest Dendroctonus micans, (article 2(5)).
Amendments are also made to update the references to the principal Plant Health Directive, Council Directive 2000/29/EC, having replaced the previous Directive 77/93/EEC (OJ No. L26, 31.1.77, p. 20) (articles 2(2), (3) and (6)).
No Regulatory Appraisal has been prepared in respect of this Order.
