Council Directive
2000/29/EC regulates the movement within Member
States of certain plants, plant products and
other objects which are potential carriers of
harmful organisms of relevance for the entire
community (listed in
Part A of Annex V to the said
Directive). These plants, plant products and
other objects have in general a high economic
importance. They are subject to specific
conditions governing the control of their
production that include inspections at the
place of production at the most appropriate
time, i.e. during the growing season and
immediately after harvest. Therefore, any
producers of the material listed in Part A of
Annex V must be listed in an official register.
The plants, plant products and other objects
are also to be accompanied by a plant passport
when moved. This document gives evidence that
the material has successfully undergone the
Community checking system. It replaces the
phytosanitary certificate, used for trade
between Member States before the establishment
of the Single Market.
