However, Directive 2000/29/EC permits derogations from this rule, provided that it is established that there is no risk of introduction of harmful organisms.\n(2)\nCommission Decision 2002/499/EC, provides for a derogation for the importation of plants of Chamaecyparis Spach, Juniperus L. and Pinus L., other than fruits and seeds, originating in the Republic of Korea, subject to specific conditions.\n(3)\nThe United Kingdom has asked for an extension of that derogation.\n(4)\nThe situation justifying that derogation remains unchanged and the derogation should therefore continue to apply.\n(5)\nDecision 2002/499/EC should, therefore, be amended accordingly.\n(6)\nThe measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
