Where so required by a third country, the respective plants, plant products or other objects should be moved from the Union territory to that third country with a phytosanitary certificate for export or re-export. In respect of the relevant provisions of the IPPC, those certificates should be issued by the competent authorities, respecting the contents of the model certificates for export and re-export set out by the IPPC. Protection should be offered to third countries against Union quarantine pests because of their acknowledged harmful nature, except where a Union quarantine pest is officially known to be present in the third country concerned and not under official control, or where it can be reasonably assumed that that Union quarantine pest does not meet the criteria to qualify as a quarantine pest for the third country concerned.
