ANNEX II DEMARCATED AREAS AND MEASURES, AS PROVIDED FOR IN ARTICLE 5 SECTION 1 Establishment of demarcated areas (1) Demarcated areas shall consist of the following zones: (a) an infested zone which includes at least the fields where the presence of a specified organism has been confirmed as well as fields where infested potato tubers have been grown; and (b) a buffer zone with a width of at least 100 m beyond the edge of an infested zone; where part of a field is within that width, the entire field shall be part of the buffer zone. (2) In cases where several buffer zones overlap or are geographically close, a demarcated area shall be established which includes the area covered by the relevant demarcated areas and the areas between them. (3) When establishing the infested zone and the buffer zone, Member States shall, bearing in mind sound scientific principles, take into account the following elements: the biology of the specified organisms, the level of infestation, the distribution of host plants, the evidence of establishment of the specified organisms, the capacity of the specified organisms to spread naturally. (4) If the presence of a specified organism is confirmed outside the infested zone, the delimitation of the infested zone and buffer zone shall be reviewed and changed accordingly. (5) Where as regards a demarcated area, based on the surveys referred to in Article 4(1), the specified organism concerned has not been detected for a period of two years, the Member State concerned shall confirm that that organism is no longer present in that area and that the area ceases to be demarcated. It shall notify the Commission and the other Member States. SECTION 2 Measures in demarcated areas, as provided for in the second subparagraph of Article 5(1) Measures taken by Member States in demarcated areas shall include at least the following: (1) measures for eradication or containment of the specified organisms including treatments and disinfestations as well as a prohibition on planting of host plants where necessary; (2) intensive monitoring for the presence of the specified organisms through appropriate inspections; (3) surveillance of the movement of potato tubers out of demarcated areas.
