Measures to prevent the presence of RNQPs on seed of oil and fibre plants
Section 1. Inspection of the crop
(1)The competent authority, or the professional operator under the official supervision of the competent authority, shall carry out field inspections on the crop from which the seed of oil and fibre plants is produced to ensure that the presence of the RNQPs does not exceed the thresholds set out in the Table 1.
| RNQPs or symptoms caused by RNQPs | Plants for planting (genus or species) | Thresholds for the production of pre-basic seed | Thresholds for the production of basic seed | Thresholds for the production of certified seed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fungi and oomycetes | ||||
| Plasmopara halstedii (Farlow) Berlese & de Toni | Helianthus annuus L. | 0 % | 0 % | 0 % |
The competent authority may authorise inspectors, other than the professional operators, to carry out the field inspections on its behalf and under its official supervision.
(2)Those field inspections shall be carried out when the condition and the stage of development of the crop allow for an adequate inspection.
There shall be at least one field inspection per year, at the most appropriate time for the detection of the respective RNQPs.
(3)The competent authority shall determine the size, the number and the distribution of the portions of the field to be inspected in accordance with appropriate methods.
The proportion of the crops for the production of seed to be officially inspected by the competent authority shall be at least 5 %.
(4)Seeds originating from third countries may only be introduced into the Union, if, in the respective countries, they have been subjected to the measures provided for in this Section.
Section 2. Sampling and testing of seed of oil and fibre plants
(1)The competent authority shall:
(a) officially draw seed samples from lots of seed of oil and fibre plants;
(b) authorise seed samplers to carry out sampling, on its behalf and under its official supervision;
(c) compare the seed samples drawn by itself with those of the same seed lot drawn by the seed samplers under its official supervision;
(d) supervise the performance of the seed samplers as provided for in point (b).
(2)The competent authority or the professional operator under the official supervision of the competent authority shall sample and test the seed of oil and fibre plants in accordance with the up-to-date international methods.
Except for automatic sampling, the competent authority shall check-sample a proportion of at least 5 % of the seed lots entered for certification. That proportion shall be as evenly spread as possible over natural and legal persons entering seed for certification, and the species entered, but may also be aimed at eliminating specific doubts.
(3)For automatic sampling, appropriate procedures shall be applied and it shall be officially supervised by the competent authority.
(4)For the examination of seed for certification and the examination of commercial seed, samples shall be drawn from homogeneous lots. As regards the lot and sample weights, the table set out in Annex III to Directive 2002/57/EC shall apply.
(5)Seeds originating from third countries may only be introduced into the Union, if, in the respective countries, they have been subjected to the measures provided for in this Section.
Section 3. Additional measures for seed of oil and fibre plants
The competent authority, or the professional operator under the official supervision of the competent authority, shall carry out the additional inspections and take any other actions to ensure that the measures listed in Table 2, concerning the respective RNQPs and plants for planting, are complied with.
Seeds originating from third countries may only be introduced into the Union, if, in the respective countries, the competent authority, or the professional operator under the official supervision of the competent authority, has carried out inspections and taken any other actions to ensure that the measures listed in Table 2, concerning the respective RNQPs and plants for planting, are complied with.
