(i)with physical protection against the introduction of the specified pest;or

(ii)where appropriate preventive treatments have been applied; or

(iii)where targeted destructive sampling is carried out on each lot of specified plants prior to movement.

The inspections referred to in the first subparagraph, point (b), shall include targeted destructive sampling of the roots and stems of plants. The size of the sample for inspection shall be such as to enable at least the detection of 1 % level of infestation with a level of confidence of 99 %.The targeted destructive sampling referred to in the first subparagraph, point (c), shall be carried out at the level set out in the table in Annex II.The surveys referred to in the first subparagraph, point (c), shall be based on the Authority’s General guidelines for statistically sound and risk-based surveys of plant pests, and the survey design and sampling scheme used shall be able to identify with at least 95 % confidence level, a level of presence of infested plants of 1 %.Rootstocks grown in a place of production which fulfils all of the requirements of the first subparagraph may be grafted with scions which have not been grown under the conditions referred to in the first subparagraph, but which are no larger than 1 cm in diameter at their thickest point.
