OR
The fruit has been subjected to an appropriate in-field treatment against Black spot (Phyllosticta citricarpa) and the disease has not been detected on fruit from the field of production in an official inspection.
This is to be supported by appropriate certification attesting to the application of appropriate treatments in the fields of production where the fruit was grown.
