NAME OF THE ORGANISM: Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV0)


GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE PEST

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

Pest category:
 
Viruses and viroids


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 (1998); Belgium (2005); Bulgaria (1993); Croatia (2005); Czech Republic (2010); Denmark (2001); France (2009); Germany (2005); Greece (2011); Hungary (2003); Italy (2011); Lithuania (2013); Netherlands (2015); Poland (2009); Romania (1997); Slovakia (2005); Slovenia (2001); Spain (2009); Sweden (2000); United Kingdom (2009); United Kingdom/England (2005)

Conclusion:
 

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: Beta vulgaris (BEAVX) 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.
