The draft legal act amends Article 6(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 and adds a new Article 6a, in view of clarifying the cases of plants for planting, -either imported into the European Union or moved within the European Union-, where exemptions from the rules of Regulated Non-Quarantine Pests (RNQPs) are possible. Certain conditions are put in place under which those exemptions should be applied. In this context: Article 6(3) aligns the cases of plants for planting exempted from the RNQP requirements with the cases of the corresponding plant propagating material exempted from the scope of the EU marketing Directives (Directives 66/401/EEC, 66/402/EEC, 68/193/EEC, 98/56/EC, 1999/105/EC, 2002/54/EC, 2002/55/EC, 2002/56/EC, 2002/57/EC, 2008/72/EC and 2008/90/EC); New Article 6a clarifies the cases of seed not finally certified and seed as grown, imported into the European Union or moved within the European Union, which can be destined for further processing before being placed on the EU market. The clarification of the exemptions from the rules for RNQPs, has as objective to facilitate trade while the envisaged conditions ensure plant protection.
