Article 19
Grants may be awarded to Member States for annual and multiannual survey programmes that they carry out concerning the presence of pests (‘survey programmes’), provided that those survey programmes comply with at least one of the following conditions: they concern pests listed in Section I of Part A of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC and Section I of Part A of Annex II thereto; they concern pests covered by a measure adopted by the Commission pursuant to Article 16(3) of Directive 2000/29/EC. For the pests referred to in point (a) of the first paragraph of this Article, the survey programmes shall be based on an assessment of the risk of the entry, establishment and spread of those pests in the territory of the Member State concerned and shall as a minimum target the pests that pose the main risks and the main plant species that are exposed to those risks. For measures fulfilling the condition laid down in point (b) of the first paragraph of this Article, the grant shall not cover costs incurred after the expiry of the measure adopted by the Commission pursuant to Article 16(3) of Directive 2000/29/EC.
