However, that Directive permits derogations from that rule, provided that it is established that there is no risk of spreading harmful organisms.\n(2)\nCommission Decision 2003/249/EC authorises Member States to provide for temporary derogations from certain provisions of Directive 2000/29/EC to permit the import of plants of strawberry (Fragaria L.), intended for planting, other than seeds, originating in Chile.\n(3)\nThe circumstances justifying the authorisation provided for in Decision 2003/249/EC are still present and there is no new information giving cause for revision of the specific conditions.\n(4)\nBy Commission Directive 2008/64/EC Colletotrichum acutatum Simmonds was removed from point (c) of Section II of Part A of Annex II to Directive 2000/29/EC. Therefore this organism should no longer be included in the Annex of Decision 2003/249/EC.\n(5)\nBased on the experience gained with the application of Decision 2003/249/EC it is appropriate to extend the period of validity of that authorisation for 10 years.\n(6)\nDecision 2003/249/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(7)\nThe measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
