Protective measures against the introduction of organisms harmful to plants (amend. Direct. 77/93/EEC)

Directive 77/93/EEC laid down protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community. This proposal sought to bring the Canary Islands within the scope of the directive, with additional provisions to protect the special nature of their agricultural production. It also adapted the provisions relating to the derogations from the general rules to the objectives of the internal market.�
