(10)In accordance with Article 4(2) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2389note, the frequency rate for identity checks and for physical checks on consignments of plants for planting entering the Union is to be 100 %. Due to the number of interceptions of consignments of plants for planting of Solanum lycopersicum L. and hybrids thereof, and Capsicum annuum L. affected by the specified pest during the last three years, it is appropriate to maintain the derogation from Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2389 that is provided for in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1032 regarding the minimum frequency rates of sampling and testing as part of physical checks with regard to that pest. Due to the higher number of interceptions of that pest in those plants originating from Israel and China compared to other third countries, it is appropriate to maintain the higher frequency rates set out in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1032 for consignments containing those plants.
