The Commission shall lay down the animal health requirements provided for in paragraph 2 on the basis of the following criteria: whether a listed or emerging disease that can be transmitted by means of plant material represents a serious risk to animal or to human health in the Union; the likelihood that animals of listed species for a particular listed disease or emerging disease will come into direct or indirect contact with the plant material referred to in paragraph 2; the availability and effectiveness of alternative risk-mitigation measures in relation to that plant material, which may eliminate or minimise the risk of transmission referred to in point (a).
