Removed:(b) specific requirements for the performance of such official controls on the activities of professional operators related to the production of particular forest reproductive material subject to the rules referred to in Article 1(2), point (l), to respond to non-compliance with the Union rules on forest reproductive material of a particular origin or provenance; and

Removed:(c) the cases where the competent authorities are to take one or more of the measures referred to in Article 137(2) and Article 138(2) in relation to specific non-compliances.

Removed:3. The Commission shall, by means of implementing acts, lay down rules on uniform practical arrangements for the performance of official controls on plant reproductive material in order to verify compliance with Union rules referred to in Article 1(2), point (l), applicable to those goods and for action taken by the competent authorities following such official controls on:

Removed:(a) uniform minimum frequency of such official controls, where a minimum level of official control is necessary to respond to recognised uniform risks of non-compliance with the rules on forest reproductive material of a particular origin or provenance;

Removed:(b) frequency of official controls performed by competent authorities on operators authorised to issue official labels under official supervision in accordance with Article 16(1) of Regulation (EU) …/…*+

Removed:Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 145(2).

Removed:CHAPTER IX FINAL PROVISIONS

Removed:Article 32 Repeal of Directive 1999/105/EC

Removed:Directive 1999/105/EC is repealed.

Removed:References to that repealed act shall be construed as references to this Regulation and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex VIII.

Removed:Article 33 Entry into force and application

Removed:This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Removed:It shall apply from … [3 years after the date of entry into force of this Regulation].

Removed:Annex I

Removed:LIST OF TREE SPECIES AND ARTIFICIAL HYBRIDS

Removed:Annex II

Removed:REQUIREMENTS FOR THE APPROVAL OF BASIC MATERIAL INTENDED FOR THE PRODUCTION OF FRM OF THE ‘SOURCE-IDENTIFIED’ CATEGORY

Removed:A. General requirement:

Removed:The seed source or stand shall meet the criteria set by the competent authorities.

Removed:B. Specific requirements:

Removed:1. Type of basic material

Removed:The basic material shall be a seed source or stand located within a single region of provenance.

Removed:2. Effective size of the population

Removed:The seed source or stand shall consist of one or more groups of trees (stands) or an individual stand. Those trees of seed source or stand shall be well distributed and sufficiently numerous to maintain genetic diversity and ensure adequate cross-pollination between the trees in those seed sources or stands. [Am. 85]

Removed:3. Origin and region of provenance

Removed:(a) The region of provenance, the location and the latitudinal, longitudinal and altitudinal range of the place(s), where the FRM is collected, shall be stated in the master certificate.

Removed:(b) The professional operator shall determine either by historical evidence (bibliography, documentation kept by competent authorities, research institutes or any other organisations) or by other appropriate means (provenance trials), including internationally recognised bio-molecular techniques, whether the origin of the basic material is:

Removed:(i) autochthonous;

Removed:(ii) non-autochthonous;

Removed:(iii) indigenous;

Removed:(iv) non-indigenous;

Removed:(v) unknown.

Removed:In the case of non-autochthonous or non-indigenous basic material, the origin of that basic material shall be stated if known.

Removed:The competent authority shall verify the information provided by the professional operator.

Removed:4. Sustainability characteristics

Removed:(a) The trees shall be well-adapted to the climatic and ecological conditions including the biotic and abiotic factors prevailing in the region of provenance and also marginal populations demonstrating local adaptation to more extreme biotic and abiotic factors. [Am. 86]

Removed:(b) The trees shall in be practically free from quality pests and their symptoms. [Am. 87]

Removed:Annex III

Removed:REQUIREMENTS FOR THE APPROVAL OF BASIC MATERIAL INTENDED FOR THE PRODUCTION OF FRM OF THE ‘SELECTED’ CATEGORY

Removed:A. General requirement:

Removed:The competent authority shall assess the stand with respect to the specific purpose for which the FRM will be used and shall give due weight to requirements set out in Section B, depending on that purpose. The competent authority shall determine the criteria for selection on the basis of that specific purpose for use of the FRM. That purpose shall be indicated in the national register of the Member State concerned.

Removed:B. Specific requirements:

Removed:1. Origin: It shall be determined either by historical evidence (bibliography, documentation kept by competent authorities, research institutes or any other organisations) or by other appropriate means (provenance trials), including internationally recognised bio-molecular techniques, whether the stand is autochthonous/indigenous, non-autochthonous/non-indigenous or whether its origin is unknown. For non-autochthonous/non-indigenous basic material the origin shall be stated if known.

Removed:2. Isolation: Stands shall be situated at a sufficient distance from stands of poor quality of the same or related species or from stands of a related species which can form hybrids with the species in question. Particular attention shall be paid to this requirement when the stands surrounding autochthonous/indigenous stands are non-autochthonous/non-indigenous or of unknown origin. [Am. 88]

Removed:3. Effective size of the population: To maintain genetic diversity and ensure adequate cross-pollination, stands shall consist of one or more groups of trees. Those trees shall be well distributed and sufficiently numerous in a given area to maintain genetic diversity, to avoid the unfavourable effects of inbreeding and ensure adequate cross-pollination between those trees.

Removed:4. Age and development: The age or stage of development of the trees in the stands shall be such to allow the criteria given for the selection of those trees to be clearly judged.

Removed:5. Uniformity: Stands shall show a normal degree of individual variation in morphological characteristics. When necessary, inferior trees shall be removed.

Removed:6. Sustainability characteristics:

Removed:(a) Stands shall be well-adapted to the climatic and ecological conditions, including the biotic and abiotic factors prevailing in the region of provenance.

Removed:(b) The trees shall be practically free from quality pests and their symptoms and show resistance to adverse siteclimatic and site-specific conditions in the place where they are growing. [Am. 89]

Removed:7. Volume production: For the approval of selected stands, the volume of wood produced shall normally be superior to the accepted average volume produced under similar ecological and management conditions.
