AMENDED COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION 2016/715

The evolution of the number of import interceptions in the last three years

demonstrate that the measures remain necessary for the protection of the Union territory from the specified organism and in order to allow for the appropriate time for its review

To ensure the specified fruits originating in Brazil are free from the specified
rganism, they should be subject to the same import inspection requirements

as the fruits originating in Argentina, South Africa and Uruguay.

The date of expiration of Decision (EU) 2016/715 should be postponed from

31 March 2019 to 31 March 2022.

Minimum pack houses delivery sample increase to 800 fruit sampling (instead of 600)
Pack house delivery inspections for Option C
Repeat pack house delivery inspection if packing beyond 4 weeks
Suspension of orchards pending the DAFF investigation on FCM

 DAFF AUDITS ON CITRUS GROWERS, PACK HOUSES AND COLD STORES:

Compliance with the requirements of the FMS (trainings, equipment, records, etc)
Procedural applications for compliance

 SUSPENSION OF ROLE PLAYERS FOR:

Refusing audits
Inconsistent/ unreliable information / untrustworthiness / Ignorance

SLIDE 25

CHALLENGES FOR THE NEAR FUTURE

 Stricter regulation of Non-European Fruit fly (tephritidae):

Bactrocera
Ceratitis
Mediterranean

 Currently used compliance option by South Africa:

The fruits have shown, in appropriate official examination on representative samples, to

be free from the relevant organism in all stages of their development
