NAME OF THE ORGANISM: Bremia lactucae (BREMLA)
GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE PEST
Name as submitted in the project specification (if different to the preferred name):
Pest category:
Chromista
HOST PLANT N°1: Cynara cardunculus (CYUCA) 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.
HOST PLANT N°2: Cynara scolymus (CYUSC) 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.
HOST PLANT N°3: Lactuca sativa (LACSA) for the Vegetable propagating and planting material (other than seeds) sector.

Remark: Moreover a rapid evaluation seemed to show that plants for planting do not seem to be the main pathway for this pest/host/intended use combination.
