Therefore, the supervision, plant health checks and measures provided for by the Implementing Decision should continue to apply until 31 July 2018 and the date by which Member States have to report on phytosanitary import checks should be set accordingly.\n(3)\nThe Combined Nomenclature Codes of certain commodities have been updated by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1821. The reporting templates set out in Annexes I and II to Decision 2013/92/EU should thus be aligned to the updated nomenclature.\n(4)\nDecision 2013/92/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(5)\nThe measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
