((c)) where all lots of specified plants have been tested and found free from Potato spindle tuber viroid, prior to movement; or
((d)) where all associated mother plants of the specified plants have been tested and found free from Potato spindle tuber viroid, prior to movement of the specified plants. After testing, the growing conditions are such that associated mother plants and the specified plants will remain free from Potato spindle tuber viroid prior to movement.

((b)) in a pest-free area, established by the responsible official body in a Member State, in accordance with relevant International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures; or
((c)) where all lots of specified plants have been tested and found free from Potato spindle tuber viroid, prior to movement; or
((d)) where all associated mother plants of the specified plants have been tested and found free from Potato spindle tuber viroid, prior to movement of the specified plants. After testing, the growing conditions are such that associated mother plants and the specified plants will remain free from Potato spindle tuber viroid prior to movement.
