That visual inspection shall be canied out by the responsible official body and, where appropriate, the supplier. The percentage of certified mother plants or certified material, which is infested by the pests listed in Part 2 of Schedule A, shall not exceed the tolerance levels as set out therein. The certified mother plants or the certified material concerned shall, by visual inspection in the facilities, fields and lots, be found to comply with those levels. That visual inspection shall be carried out by the responsible official body and, where appropriate, the supplier.

(1) Certified mother plants may only be grown in soil that is free from any pests which are listed in Schedule C, for the genus or species concerned, and which host viruses affecting that genus or species. Freedom of such pests hosting viruses shall be established by sampling and testing. That sampling shall be carried out by the responsible official body and, where appropriate, the supplier. That sampling and testing shall be carried out before the certified mother plant concerned is planted, and it shall be repeated during growth where there is suspicion concerning the presence of the pests referred to in sub-paragraph (1). That sampling and testing shall be carried out taking into account the climatic conditions and the biology of the pests listed in Schedule C, and where those pests are relevant for the certified mother plants or the certified material concerned. (2) Sampling and testing shall not be carried out where plants which are hosts for the pests listed in Schedule C, for the genus or species concerned, have not been grown in the soil of production for a period of at least five years and where there is no doubt concerning the absence of the relevant pests in that soil. Sampling and testing shall not be carried out when the responsible official body concludes on the basis of an official inspection that the soil is free from any pests which are listed in Schedule III, for the genus or species concerned, and which host B 1329 B 1330 VERZJONI ELETTRONIKA viruses affecting that genus or species.
