Regulated non-quarantine pest Project

An EU funded project for the benefit of the whole EPPO region




NAME OF THE ORGANISM: None (Statement in several Annexes: Annex III point (7) Health and Resistance: 'Trees in stands must in general be free from attacks by damaging organisms'; Annex VII Part C points (1) and (2) and Part E point (1)) (NULL6)


GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE PEST

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

Pest category:
 


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?
 
No

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

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: Forest reproductive material sector
Is it justified that the pest is listed at a taxonomic rank below species level?
 
Not relevant

Conclusion:
 
  • Not candidate: Forest reproductive material sector
Justification (if necessary):
 
In the Questionnaire, AT, PT and ENA considered that there was a need to list pests at the species level for this specific sector. Other countries also proposed to regulate specific pest/host combinations in Q3 (SI) or Q1.2 (DE, EFNA, ENA, ES, FR, GB, PT, SE, SI). However this is out of the scope of the RNQP project as no particular pest is currently listed.


HOST PLANT N°1: Forest genus or species: Abies alba, Abies cephalonica, Abies grandis, Abies pinsapo, Acer platanoides, Acer pseudoplatanus, Alnus glutinosa, Alnus incana, Betula pendula, Betula pubescens, Carpinus betulus, Castanea sativa, Cedrus atlantica, Cedrus libani, Fagus sylvatica, Fraxinus angustifólia, Fraxinus excelsior, Larix decídua, Larix x eurolepis, Larix kaempferi, Larix sibirica, Picea abies, Picea sitchensis, Pinus brutia, Pinus canariensis, Pinus cembra, Pinus contorta, Pinus halepensis, Pinus leucodermis, Pinus nigra, Pinus pinaster, Pinus pinea, Pinus radiata, Pinus sylvestris, Populus sp. and artificial hybrids, Prunus avium, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Quercus cerris, Quercus ilex, Quercus petraea, Quercus pubescens, Quercus róbur, Quercus rubra, Quercus suber, Robinia pseudoacacia, Tilia cordata, Tilia platyphyllos. () for the Forest reproductive material sector.


Origin of the listing:
 
Council Directive 1999/105/EC

Plants for planting:
 



CONCLUSION ON THE STATUS:
 
Disqualified: this is not compatible with the RNQP definition.
