(1) This regulation applies in relation to a plant for planting or other object which has been introduced into Great Britain from a third country.
(2) An authorised operator may issue a Northern Ireland plant health label for the plant for planting or other object without conducting the examinations referred to in regulation 13 if—
(a) the applicable checks under Article 49(1) of the Official Controls Regulation concerning its introduction have been completed satisfactorily, and
(b) those checks have led the authorised operator to the conclusion that the plant for planting or other object concerned fulfils the requirements for issuance of a Northern Ireland plant health label referred to in regulation 12 (substantive requirements).
(3) The replacement of a phytosanitary certificate by a Northern Ireland plant health label may be carried out at the place of destination in Great Britain of the plant for planting or other object concerned, instead of at the point of entry, where checking at the place of destination is permitted.
