OBJECTIVE: consolidation of Directive 77/93/EEC on protective measures against the introduction
into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within
the Community.
SUBSTANCE: the purpose of the proposal is to consolidate Directive 77/93/EEC, as amended on
a number of occasions since its adoption. The new Directive will replace the various Regulations
which it consolidates; the proposal fully preserves their content, merely bringing them together in
a single text.
