(2007/609/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 247/2006 of 30 January 2006 laying down specific measures for agriculture in the outermost regions of the Union (1) and in particular the second sentence of the first subparagraph of Article 17(3),

Whereas:

 

(1)

The plant health of agricultural crops in the French overseas departments, in the Azores and in Madeira is subject to particular problems associated with the climate and the specificity of the harmful organisms present in those regions. The Member States concerned have adopted programs designed to control those organisms.

 

(2)

New rules for Community contributions to plant health measures in the outermost regions of the Union were adopted by Regulation (EC) No 247/2006. Consequently, as regards the French overseas departments, the Azores and Madeira, the measures for which Community financing is available and the expenditure eligible should be redefined.

 

(3)

Commission Decision 93/522/EEC of 30 September 1993 on the definition of the measures eligible for Community financing in the programs for the control of organisms harmful to plants or plant products in the French overseas departments, in the Azores and in Madeira (2) should therefore be replaced.

 

(4)

Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (3) lays down protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community.

 

(5)

Decision 93/522/EEC should therefore be repealed.

 

(6)

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The measures in the programs for the control of harmful organisms in the French overseas departments, in the Azores and in Madeira which are eligible for Community financing, in accordance with Article 17(1) of Regulation (EC) No 247/2006, are defined in the Annex to this Decision.

Such measures shall relate to all or part of the programmes for the control of harmful organisms within the meaning of Article 2(1)(e) of Directive 2000/29/EC.

Article 2

Decision 93/522/EEC is repealed.

References to the repealed Decision shall be construed as references to this Decision.

Article 3

This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2007.

Article 4

This Decision is addressed to the French Republic and the Portuguese Republic.

Done at Brussels, 10 September 2007.
