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?:
No
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?
No: Vegetable propagating and planting material (other than seeds) sector, Ornamental sector
Is it justified that the pest is listed at a taxonomic rank below species level?
Not relevant
Conclusion:
Not candidate: Vegetable propagating and planting material (other than seeds) sector, Ornamental sector
Justification (if necessary):
When replying to the RNQP Questionnaire, for the Vegetable reproductive and planting material (excluding seeds) Sector as well as for the Vegetable seed Sector, no EU Member State identified this entry as important and justified to keep Aleyrodidae listed at a higher level than the species level. No EU Member State proposed to replace this entry by pests listed at the species level.
When replying to the RNQP Questionnaire, for the Ornamental Sector, only three EU Member States (DE, FI and FR) identified this entry as important. However these countries recommended to only list Bemisia tabaci on the concerned host plants. Therefore the evaluation only continues for B. tabaci. There is no justification for a listing of all Aleyrodidae at the family taxonomic level.
HOST PLANT N°1: Begonia x hiemalis (BEGEH) for the Ornamental sector.
Origin of the listing:
Commission Directive 93/49/EEC
Plants for planting:
Plants intended for planting
CONCLUSION ON THE STATUS:
Disqualified: No EU Member State gave justification(s) in the replies to the RNQP questionnaire for a listing at a higher level than the species level. The only pest considered to be important and suggested for evaluation is Bemisia tabaci (see corresponding summary sheet). This entry will be covered by the 'Substantially free from' requirement that will remain in the Ornamental EU Marketing Directives.
