(9)Commission Directive 93/61/EECnote establishes the specific conditions and quality standards that vegetable propagating and planting material, excluding seeds, must meet under Council Directive 92/33/EECnote, including requirements concerning the presence of RNQPs on that material of certain species. In order to align with the provisions of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072, it is necessary to amend that Directive by setting out requirements concerning the presence of ToBRFV on vegetable propagating and planting material, other than seed, of Capsicum annuum L. (pepper), and other than material belonging to a variety known to be resistant to ToBRFV. For the same reason, it is necessary to amend that Directive by setting out requirements concerning the presence of that pest on vegetable propagating and planting material, other than seed, of Solanum lycopersicum L. (tomato) and hybrids thereof. Those amendments should set a tolerance threshold of 0 % for ToBRFV on propagating and planting material other than seeds of those species, to ensure consistency with the respective provisions of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072.
