Article 10
1. The competent authorities shall, as far as possible, trace back the origin and the pathway associated with the outbreak, including the origin of specified plants which were moved before a demarcated area was established. 2. Specified plants which have been grown in a production site located in a demarcated area shall not be moved out of that demarcated area, and from the respective infected zones into the buffer zones, unless all the following conditions are fulfilled: (a) the specified plants have been grown throughout their life in a production site with physical isolation against the specified vectors, registered by the competent authorities, and inspected at an appropriate frequency by those authorities; (b) the specified plants are transported through or within the demarcated area in a way preventing the spread of the specified pests, such as in closed containers, ensuring that infection with the specified pests or the specified vectors cannot occur; (c) as close as possible to the time of movement, the lot of the specified plants has been subjected to molecular testing for the presence of the specified pests, using a sampling scheme able to identify with at least 95 % confidence a level of presence of infected plants of 1 %. 3. Specified plants, originating from outside a demarcated area, shall not be moved out of or through the infected zones, unless effective measures have been taken to prevent their infection by the specified pests and their infestation by the specified vectors. 4. Specified plants in the form of fruits which have been grown in a production site located in a demarcated area, shall not be moved out of that demarcated area, and from the respective infected zones into the buffer zones, unless those fruits are free of peduncles and leaves. 5. Specified plants in the form of fruits originating from outside a demarcated area, shall not be moved out of or through the infected zones, unless those fruits are free of peduncles and leaves.
