Regulation 3 amends Annex 2 to remove entry 35A (Thekopsora minima(Arthur) Sydow & P. Sydow [THEKMI]) from the list of GB quarantine pests and regulation 5 instead adds that pest to Annex 4 (list of GB regulated non-quarantine pests). Regulation 4 adds several provisional GB quarantine pests to Annex 2A. Regulation 6 adds conditions to be met in relation to the importation of those plants listed in Annex 11 as subject to special requirements. Regulation 7 corrects one reference and also adds Pinus L and Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirbel) Franco to the list of plants required to be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate in Annex 11.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
