All I can find is annuals and perennials but what are pluriannuelles? Looked up multiannual but it doesn't seem to fit. Any ideas? Many thanks

: I don't think this quite works in the context - it would mean saying "short-lived perennial and perennial". I would take slight liberties and translate "pluriannuelle" as "biennial".

multi-annual adventitious weeds
Another suggestion. "Multi" appears more used than "Pluri"
Discussion
It gets weirder. Article I-26 actually contains a word which doesn't seem to exist in English. It's "pluriannual". One can presume it means something like "multiannual", but one cannot be sure because the word is not cited in Chambers or the Shorter Oxford.
But if you go on the net and type into Google the words "pluriannual", "EU" and "directive", you get more than 20,000 hits: this is because "pluriannual" is frequently used in EU documents. The EU bureaucrats seem to have concocted the ghastly word all by themselves. They may feel satisfied, but it still isn't English.
