TL;DR
This paper assesses the plant health risks of importing grafted grapevine plants from Moldova into the EU.
Contribution
It evaluates eight pests and determines the likelihood of pest freedom based on risk mitigation measures in Moldova.
Findings
Grapevine fleck virus and 'Candidatus Phytoplasma solani' are most frequently expected on imported plants.
Expert judgment indicates 9900 or more units per 10,000 will be pest-free with 95% certainty.
Risk mitigation measures in Moldova were evaluated for effectiveness against selected pests.
Abstract
The European Commission requests EFSA to provide scientific opinions in the field of plant health in accordance with Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002. Annex VI of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 lists plants, plant products and other objects whose introduction into the Union from certain third countries is prohibited. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by 1‐ to 2‐year‐old grafted bare root plants without leaves of Vitis spp. from the Republic of Moldova, taking into account the available scientific information, including the technical information provided by Moldova. All pests associated with the commodity were evaluated for their relevance for this opinion. Eight pests (one EU quarantine pest and seven Vitis spp. RNQPs) that fulfilled all the criteria were selected for further evaluation. For the selected pests, the risk mitigation…
