3.

Where a plant, plant product or other object coming from outside the protected zone concerned poses a pest risk of an unacceptable level for that protected zone by its likelihood of hosting a protected zone quarantine pest, and that risk can be reduced to an acceptable level by applying one or more of the measures set out in points 2 and 3 of Section 1 of Annex II, the Commission shall amend the implementing act referred to in paragraph 2 to include in it that plant, plant product or other object and the measures to be applied to it. Those measures and the requirements referred to in paragraph 2 constitute ‘special requirements for protected zones’. Where a plant, plant product or other object included in that implementing act does not pose a pest risk of an unacceptable level for the protected zone concerned, or it poses such a risk but that risk cannot be reduced to an acceptable level by the special requirements for protected zones, the Commission shall amend that implementing act accordingly. Those amendments shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 107(2). The acceptability of the level of that pest risk shall be assessed, and the measures to reduce that risk to an acceptable level shall be adopted, in accordance with the principles set out in Section 2 of Annex II. On duly justified imperative grounds of urgency to address a serious pest risk, the Commission shall adopt immediately applicable implementing acts in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 107(3).
