Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text
The later text adds provisions not present before, allowing the Commission to adopt implementing acts setting out rules under which certain plants, plant products and other objects may, by derogation from the physical-attachment rule, be moved with a plant passport associated with them in another way due to their size, shape or packaging, and setting rules ensuring such a non-attached passport still refers to those plants, plant products and other objects.
The added text also specifies that such implementing acts are to be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 107(2), a mechanism absent from the earlier version.

Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 107(2).
