demarcated area or infested zone for immediate treatment where no

appropriate treatment facility is located inside that area or zone.

The derogation shall apply only if the following conditions are fulfilled

(a) the management, treatment, storage and transport of felled susceptible

demarcated area designated for this purpose.

(b) It is to be used in a processing facility as fuel or for other destructive

purposes ensuring freedom from live PWNs and live vectors.

(c) It is to undergo an appropriate heat treatment in an authorised treatment

facility to achieve a minimum temperature of 56 °C for at least 30

minutes throughout that wood and bark ensuring freedom from live

PWNs and live vectors. In the case of a composting heat treatment, the

composting shall be carried out in accordance with a treatment

specification approved in accordance with the procedure referred to in

Article 18(2) of Directive 2000/29/EC.

The following conditions shall apply to those movements

(a) the wood or bark is to be moved under official supervision and outside

the flight season of the vector or with a protective covering ensuring that

infestation of other plants, wood or bark with PWN or the vector cannot

occur; or

(b) wood or bark having undergone the treatment referred to in point (c) of

the first paragraph may be moved, provided that it is accompanied by a

plant passport issued by an authorised treatment facility.

This point shall neither apply to wood packaging material nor to

susceptible wood obtained from plants individually tested and found free

from PWN.
