NAME OF THE ORGANISM: Delia platura (HYLEPL)


GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE PEST

Name as submitted in the project specification (if different to the preferred name):
 

Pest category:
 
Insecta


1- Identity of the pest/Level of taxonomic listing:

Is the organism clearly a single taxonomic entity and can it be adequately distinguished from other entities of the same rank?
 
Yes

Is the pest defined at the species level or lower?:
 
Yes

Can listing of the pest at a taxonomic level higher than species be supported by scientific reasons or can species be identified within the taxonomic rank which are the (main) pests of concern?
 
  • Not relevant: Vegetable propagating and planting material (other than seeds) sector
Is it justified that the pest is listed at a taxonomic rank below species level?
 
Not relevant

Conclusion:
 
  • Not evaluated: Vegetable propagating and planting material (other than seeds) sector
2 – Status in the EU:
 
Is this pest already a quarantine pest for the whole EU?
 

Presence in the EU:
 
Yes

List of countries (EPPO Global Database):
 
Austria (1985); Belgium (1985); Bulgaria (1985); Croatia (1985); Cyprus (2011); Czech Republic (2011); Denmark (1985); Finland (2011); France (1985); France/Corse (1985); Germany (1985); Greece (2008); Greece/Kriti (1985); Hungary (1985); Italy (1985); Italy/Sicilia (1985); Netherlands (1985); Poland (1985); Portugal (1985); Portugal/Azores (1985); Portugal/Madeira (1985); Romania (1985); Spain (1985); Spain/Islas Canárias (1985); Spain/Islas Baleares (1985); United Kingdom (1985); United Kingdom/England (1985); United Kingdom/Scotland (1985); United Kingdom/Channel Islands (1985)

Justification (if necessary):
 
Data of the presence of this pest on the EU territory are available in EPPO Global Database (https://gd.eppo.int/).

HOST PLANT N°1: Cucumis sativus (CUMSA) for the Vegetable propagating and planting material (other than seeds) sector.


CONCLUSION ON THE STATUS:
 
Not evaluated: This pest/host combination was not identified by any EU MS in the RNQP Questionnaire as requiring a revision of current thresholds and or a revision of current management measures. This pest/host combination was not identified by the experts of the vegetable SEWG as being a candidate for the RNQP Status with specific tolerance levels and/or specific risk management measures. Experts recommended that this pest/host combination should be covered in the future by the 'substantially free from' requirement that will remain in the Vegetable propagating and planting (excluding seeds) EU Marketing Directives.
